Day 4: Wrote a letter to my dear mother-in-law in way northern Minnesota who also happens to be tremendously cool. I must remember to actually send it!

I may include those, too!April 24 – Day 1: Went to lunch w/co-workers and bought them each a small Bailey’s Irish Crème mousse dessert.

- Hello, Diane -
I'm from Minnesota too!
Welcome to the site. I've been on here and involved in this challenge for about 2 months. It's been great! It really has. It always feels wonderful to give ... but to be able to share some of my experiences and feelings on here, to read about others' experiences, and to communicate with them.
I was new to blogging too. But after two months, I've come to love this community of bloggers. The people here are wonderful.

Sharon D-29 Gifts Ambassador said… - Life here is as fast as you want to make it!
Welcome!
I am one of the original 500, and I'm on day 317-that's round 11 day 27!
I have had miracles happen while here.
Make sure you give of your heart every day and write about it. You don't have to write publicly, do a private journal, turn off the blog.
But write what you give and what comes back, being mindful is the KEY!
Give smiles when you have nothing else.
The most powerful gives are the secret ones and those you think you cannot afford to give, like money, and things you are attached to.
Be sure you will change if you follow thru.
Be ready for miracles!
Today, I give you a great big world of giving!

Check out our CAUSE OF THE MONTH.
Our featured cause for the month of April is Seattle Youth Garden Works. At Seattle Youth Garden Works youth, are taught life-skills in a garden setting. They are then trained in basic job skills by selling their organically grown fruits and vegetables at Seattle area farmers markets. As a not-for-profit organization, Seattle Youth Garden Works strives to empower homeless and under-served young adults through garden-based education and employment. We'd love to see you participate in our sponsored drive this month! You can see how HERE.
Also PLAY GIFT TAG! Help support the 29Gifts Community and have some fun too by 'playing' with these beautiful and unique gift tags. It's the gift that multiplies – your support is a gift to the 29Day Giving Challenge, and a gift to those who receive them too! These funds go to help offset the costs of maintance and hosting for our website and community, making it possible for everyone to continue to revive the giving spirit in the world.

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I'm choosing to give because I want to think less about myself. I'll be facing some treatments due to illness very soon, and already people have been both quietly and grandly supportive.
For the most part, I think that the people I've met in life have been amazing and unique, and I don't want to forget that.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Peace.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Arts and Healing Network
- About me:
- Mother, newly wed, corporate-lifer, dog-lover, artist, 2-month cancer survivor
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

This sort of community and mission feels so quietly powerful and resourceful and capable.
I knew immediately that this was something that I wanted to be part of and watch manifest around me.
Also, never wrote a blog before, so we'll see how that goes.
