The rest of my 29 Day Giving Challenge

I really enjoyed participating in the 29 Day Giving Challenge. I will definitely keep at this because I know I can improve.

First 5 Days

I haven't given away anything earth shattering yet. My first day I signed up I also donated $29 to the giving challenge, a dollar for each day that I'm part of the challenge. Day 2 I complimented my trainer at the gym. He's a really nice guy that always has a smile on his face, regardless of how unmotivated I am to work out. I think he appreciated that I notice and appreciate he's always positive and smiling. on Day 3 the 15 year old daughter of a woman I went to high school with contacted me…See More
