Pauline Nolan commented on Cate's blog post Day 27 - PBS donation
"I agree! In Australia we only get the PBS news hour - not other programs, but I choose that one over the local news because it is so interesting. Thanks for donating so that we can still benefit so far away."

Pauline Nolan commented on Cate's blog post Day 25 - A Gift Card for my Acupuncturist
"This is wonderful Chi - what a great idea. Gift cards are so useful, especially when you don't know someone very personally. I'm sure Cybil will be delighted."

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
Like Cami I've been dealing with health concerns - in my case breast cancer - and the past few years have been difficult. I need to remember that no matter what, I still have many blessings and talents and ability to give and live fully. Also, I am the co-founder of a program and philosophy of personal change called Change Circles, and so I'm interested in anything that leads to deep, lasting transformation.
What I'd most like to receive:
Joy. Serenity. Acceptance.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
My dear friend Cathy gave me a copy of Cami's book as a gift.
About me:
I live in Colorado where I am self-employed doing marketing and business development consulting and also working part-time at Starbucks. I am the co-founder of Change Circles, a program and philosophy of Five Pillars of Change that lead to lasting transformation. I am a breast cancer survivor and fighter, having dealt not only with the diagnosis and mastectomy, but with a subsequent recurrence, radiation and reconstruction wound failure.

Day 29 - A 29 Gifts Boutique Gift for the Friend who Gave me the 29 Gifts Book

Posted on July 29, 2010 at 10:14pm 2 Comments

Today, on Day 29 of the 29 Day Giving Challenge, I think I get it. 'Lack' is a state of mind and 'abundance' is a choice.



The gifts that felt the most rewarding were not the ones that cost money, but the ones that required my time and attention and intention. Those were the gifts that filled me with a sense of purpose and accomplishment. That includes writing this blog, even the last few days when I fell out of the daily habit. It was realizing that I had to write them all today, on… Continue

Day 28 - A Gift of a Surprise Letter

Posted on July 29, 2010 at 9:00pm 2 Comments

Here I am winding down on this challenge, and I did so good in the first few weeks by blogging religiously every night. Then I got busy and tired at night, and while I was still doing the giving, I wasn't blogging. Truthfully, it lost some of it's meaning. Plus now here I am having to spend more time catching up! But I had to catch up today because it's Day 29....



My gift today was another letter to a friend I don't get to see very often. It seems insignificant, but to put pen to paper… Continue

Day 27 - PBS donation

Posted on July 29, 2010 at 8:25pm 2 Comments

Well, I couldn't make a donation to NPR and neglect the television counterpart in PBS! I don't watch a lot of television, and if it's on it is usually just background noise, but I do enjoy programming on PBS, and when I take the time to watch the evening news, it's always PBS. A full hour of coverage, in-depth, not just sound bites, and of course no commercials. Though to keep it no commercials required public support.



In this day and age of advertising everywhere, it's nice to still… Continue

Day 26 - Helping my niece with her website

Posted on July 29, 2010 at 8:21pm 2 Comments

My niece (well actually niece-in-law, the wife of my nephew, but that's just too cumbersome!) is excellent at genealogy research - finding long-lost relatives, family trees, that sort of thing. She is trying to start a little business on the side and so she decided to get a website. I offered to help since I can create basic sites. We did the work months ago, but I wanted to make some improvements so I offered to add more pictures and make some other changes. I also will help her market the… Continue
