Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I've experienced the great feeling that comes with giving. I used to have many opportunities to give before I moved to the US ten years ago from a third world country, where scarcity is on your face every single day. There's so much abundance around us here and we tend to ignore and not care for our spiritual needs. I want to join this network of giving today and start spreading this awesome feeling by DOING.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Stories, experience, wisdom
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Life Unfolds blog
- About me:
- Wife and mother of three wonderful young boys.
Interaction designer.
Amateur artist, cook and martial arts practitioner.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

I have three kids, ages 6, 4 and 2. I also have a husband and we both work full time. So our kids go to school and daycare until I get back from work at 5 pm.
On Tuesday I was feeling a bit under the weather (sore throat and headaches) and decided to stay home and rest. My husband Leo took all three kids to school as he does every morning.
Later in the morning I felt a little better and went to pick up my 6 yo son Simon who was released early from school. I decided that instead of… Continue
