Day Twenty-Five

We're still a little sick around here, but my husband and I managed to do more gardening today (got the beans, the eggplant, the cat grass, and the lavender in and transplanted some herbs to bigger pots). Afterwards I was planning on doing some work in my art studio, but I could tell my husband was a little tired, not feeling great, and wanted company, so I decided to skip the work (I'm doing okay with my deadlines) and suggest we watch a DVD and hang out. We enjoyed the day IMMENSELY- we hung…See More

Day Twenty-One

Quick post before I close up the house and go to bed. Thank you for all the well-wishes. My husband and I are both feeling better today. Hopefully it will only be a few more days until we're both back to normal.Today my gift was time. Because my husband was so sick, he spent the afternoon and evening sound asleep, so I decided to just spend the entire day with my daughter. Normally after she comes home from school and Tae Kwan Do she does her own thing while I work on my various art projects…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I read the book and I was so very inspired to join in. I feel like lately I have been given a lot of gifts from God/The Universe and I want to give back in some small way. I believe truly in the Butterfly Effect and that every choice a person makes will have a deep effect on another's life without them even realizing it.
What I'd most like to receive:
I guess it would be love and good karma (but art supplies and tea are also nice!)
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
Cami Walker's book
About me:
36 year old mama (Gracie, almost five years old), wife (to Tom) mixed-media artist, long distance swimmer, and open soul.

When I'm not in my art studio and drinking many cups of tea (black and oolong), I volunteer at a local animal shelter, go on adventures with my little family (lots of movies, going to the Botanical Gardens, shopping at the bookstore, etc.), swim very long distances (two miles every day), spend too much money on art supplies, and read.

I believe there's a divine spark in everyone and am searching for a little tribe of friends I can truly can call my own.

Day Twenty-Seven

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 8:45pm 4 Comments

Quiet day- we're all still sick. My daughter's fever broke this evening, and I'm hoping it stays down. She'll be staying home from school for a few more days, though, I think.



Not a big day today, giving wise. I just donated a small amount to breast cancer research and left some comments on some blogs I like.



The good news is the package I sent out on Day One- my first give- FINALLY arrived at my friend's house and she was very touched by the books (one of which was 29… Continue

We're all still sick, but my husband is starting to feel better, so that's something. It looks like my daughter will be home from school at least for tomorrow- her fever still hasn't broken. :( Oh well, I guess it's best we all get the flu out of our systems now rather than the holidays, which is USUALLY when we all get sick!



Today I realized something a little new about the whole Giving process. Until today I have sort of looked for something "tangible" to give- whether it be a… Continue

Ahh- caught up!

Today I just gave simply- some sodas to the workers who came to the house, and some extra attention and compassion for my husband and daughter. Plus, the usual- lots of catnip from the garden and attention for the kitties.

Now I'm off to bed. I'm trying very hard not to catch what my daughter and husband have!

Goodnight and blessings- I've missed you guys!
