Day? of? is my goal but think there is still a l o n g way to go as I'm only on day 4. Well done for getting so far. Sure it's a life style now more than a habit. What a place to be!

Caitlin commented on Cami Walker -- 29Gifts Founder's blog post 'Dec 29 Give: Letting Go Of Old "Things"... Old Ways + $1,300 donation to the MS Society'

False Expectations Appearing Real. At least that's one way to think about FEAR ... Love the purging of end of year/new year - we need to make room - for new identities, new projects ... And as ChronicBabes editor says, "Be AWAP (as…

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:: Like Cami, living with MS. Loved the concept behind the book. Fits my values of community, connection, giving ... and more.

What I'd most like to receive:: Love, time, healing ... nothing material really (except a Wii Fit and balance board would be great for my MS symptoms!)

How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?: NY Times article and was gifted Cami's book

About me:: Introduce myself, "Caitlin, first born, left-handed, Scorpio, PhD, ENFP (or J), wife, mother, Unitarian Universalist, life coach, consultant, and now, living with MS."

And wedding ring? Their home was burgled - 2 laptops and ALL Michelena's jewelry and the couple's wedding rings taken. All M's earrings had stories, lovely colors, uniqueness in design, and history ... I'd be devastated if mine were stolen or lost.

So, I left her with one pair today and am starting a viral campaign asking friends, church members, strangers, to each donate at least one pair (or a bracelet, watch, or brooch) to help recreate a collection for her. Her heart and… Continue
