Giving Doesn't Get Old

Much to my surprise, I'm at Round 4, Day 11 and not yet bored. In fact, it didn't occur to me to be bored until I wanted to come up with a catchy title for my post. Giving at least one gift a day has become a part of my "routine", I guess, although it's not routine. I guess 2nd nature is the phrase - no, that's not it either. A natural part of my day! That's it! When I reflect on my past, I can't think of any time of my life where I've had the opportunity to acknowledge myself in a positive way…See More

Round 3, Day 3

Hello everyone... I've slipped out of the folds of www.29gifts.org as of late. I even stopped my own personal journalling for a time there, so I restarted my Round 3 and am delighted to have returned to 'mindful' giving and journalling. Today was my birthday, and it was a thrill to be handing out gifts on this day. I packaged up an unused book of mine with some extra goodies for a friend whose birthday is in 2 weeks and decorated the envelope with hearts.…See More

Round and Round

Round 2, Day 5: It only made sense. Twenty-nine days went by so quickly. I still felt I had so much to give. There's too much joy from that well to turn off the tap so soon. I started using the gift cards. It's fun. People are so curious and feeling open from the gift, and they want to learn what is this movement? My life has felt so much more full. I spend more time in the light and less time trying to battle in the darkness. My moods, expectations and emotions are more levelled out. I exist…See More

Why Am I So Happy?

Giving has amped up the number of possibilities for insight! Instead of randomly infrequent, insights are regular occurrences.Even better - I don't need to be sitting on a cushion meditating all by my lonesome, wishing for happiness for others or wishing their suffering would decrease. I am actively out there seeing that it happens right here in my community.When I think of giving and gratitude now, I envision the double helix like a DNA strand. The space between the strands is the fertile area…See More

Gratitude and Giving

Elsewhere on this site today I saw that someone else posted how potent and intertwined these two are. Last night I went to the home of 2 friends. In my bag were fresh vegetables, coconut ice cream, blueberries, a small food processor with freshly made green Thai curry paste and a bag of dry jasmine rice. I whipped up a green Thai curry dinner which was my 2nd gift of the day. I hadn't even thought I could make this one of my gifts until I was leaving the food co-op.What does this have to do…See More

Day 1: How I Came to Start the Challenge

Recently, one of the home school students that I teach, had to half the amount of time she spent with me weekly because of a temporary financial situation in her family. This coincided with 2 other students leaving for India for 3-months. I was excited for them, but it was overshadowed by my fear around the loss of income. Yesterday, someone asked me if I wanted to donate a small amount to the spending fund of one of the girls going to India. It brought up a lot, but I wanted to give and knew…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:: I was inspired by Cami's book. My relationship just ended. I know my typical downward spiral, and I'd like to re-direct or transform that energy into something really positive.

What I'd most like to receive:: A new outlook, shift in perspective. Expansion.

How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?: A friend suggested I read Cami's book, so I did.

About me:: Curious, open, hard-working, committed to my healing and growth, community-minded, but also introverted, organized, nature-oriented, poetic and creative. Would like to have more patience and grace.
