I just finished reading 29 Gifts, and it is absolutely great! If you haven't done so yet, I would encourage all of you to pick up a copy. I thought I knew all about Cami's story, but not so. I learned so much more about Cami's path to the 29 day giv…
More than a "pretty good" review, I would say. She wrapped up her review by saying 29 Gifts "is a fantastic book".
Hi Cami,
I just now read this about your grandmother. I am so sorry to hear this - I know how close you are to her. But I'm happy she's feeling better and I'm glad you're going to spend time with her. She sounds like a very special woman. I will kee…
Oh, Cami, that is so exciting and congratulations!! The book is beautiful just like your shirt so perfectly states. I can't wait to get my copy. You are an amazing young woman!
Much love,
Eileen
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- A friend gave me a book yesterday that said, "... One new perception, one fresh thought, one act of surrender, one change of heart, one leap of faith, can change your life forever." The book was a gift with words I needed to hear. Maybe I can give something to someone in the next 29 days that will be just as meaningful to them.
- About me:
- I am a spiritual artist and I paint mandalas. My husband and I recently relocated from San Francisco to Santa Fe, NM. Over the years I managed a contract furnishings showroom, worked in an art gallery, ran the events program at a winery in the Santa Cruz mountains, did acting and voice over, did some modeling, am collaborating with a friend on a spiritual book. But most importantly, I've been on a spiritual quest since I was 7.

My 29Days Breakthrough - Update
Several months ago while participating in the 29 Day Giving Challenge, I posted a blog about my commitment to donate a mandala painting to a local women's health clinic. I am happy to say that the mandala has been completed and is now mounted on the ceiling above the very exam table where I first imagined a mandala to be. I took it in to the clinic a couple of weeks ago and the doctors and nurses loved it. One do… Continue

My 29Days Breakthrough
Over the 29 days of giving, I would reflect at the end of each day as to what I had given. It was not always easy because many days I wouldn’t even leave the house, but I found that I could always find something I gave – even the smallest thing from spending time brushing our cat, Tucker, to making sure the birds in our backyard always had food and water.
I started to realize the gift of giving was as much a gift to me as it was to whomever I gave to. I began to experience a feeling of expansio… Continue

A holiday affirmation:
I embrace the holiday season with joy and an open heart. I look at this time of year through the eyes of a child full of excitement. I gift others with kindness and a sincere smile. I feel at peace and view my life as the miracle that it is.

I found this on one of my many sites that a friend had posted on my wall.This one has a lot of significant viewpoints to me.I would love to see some of your Mandalas.Do you also do the moving ones?
MANdala
This mandala is titled MANdala, and represents the innate spirituality of mankind. It was done entirely using Adobe(tm) Photoshop, and two separate pictures layered into the image. The glowing center of the mandala indicates the light of the Absolute, the Unmanifest, that from which all things spring, Ground of Being. Mankind emanates from the center, and toward the top of the mandala the chakras of the subtle body are indicated as glowing lights. The reddish lights along the border indicate the innate connectedness of all mankind. My personal philosophy is that of Advaita, or non dualism, but it isn't really a philosophy -- I understand it directly as a reality. My website is at http://coresite.cjb.net and is not a mandala site, but a site relating to non dualism in its various forms, and is dedicated to diversity of spiritual viewpoints.

That was really sweet of you! I'm pretty sure she was really happy either way. ^_^
I like the idea of giving 29 gifts to your daughter. I think this will be much more powerful than you may think! How wonderful for her to have a daily gift of a hug, a few minutes of time, or a small reminder that you love her. This is a really good…
awe what a good mom you are.....i am sure you are better than you think, this challange proves it ..
Yesterday I offered 25 $ for a cancer collect initiated by my co-worker - Had not been the 29-gift challenge, I would have given less, because of my donation to Haiti - But since my company doubles the donation if it's a minimum of 25$, I did the ef…
It has been several months since any new magazines have shown up in the breakroom at work. Another casualty of the tightening of the belt in tough economic times. I asked one of the Executive Assistants a few questions and found out that all subscri…
Hi Janice,
The beautiful things in life always stand out more brightly against the difficult times. In Cami's book she challenged herself to give away the things she thought were hardest to give. Maybe for you, your challenge is to look for ways to…
I am so sorry you had to work 19 hours, way too much for your body and soul. And I am sure you gave something even if it was of yourself during that 19 hour day! But the sweet gift to your Honey was a great end for you busy day.Take care, and hoping…
I decided to start my gift giving journey over today for a couple reasons. Reason #1 was I missed a day which means I start over anyway and #2 I realized I wanted to give 29 gifts to my 7 year old daughter. I'm not the best parent in the world and d…
Well, B sounds amazingly thoughtful, and your dessert will add some uniqueness to the end of test day.
Hoping you can get something done about the out-of-pocket expense for the sleep study,e. Take care, looking forward to up-and-coming posts. You ar…
Dont blame yourself! Sometimes it seems everything and everyone is against us - in those times, I try to stay still until it ends, because it's just a cycle...What works for me is trying to find everyday 1 tiny thing I can be grateful for, in spite…
As I mentioned in earlier blogs I have decided to take some college classes after taking a while off from school. If anyone is a veteran and has ever attempted to apply for or use the GI Bill, you know it can be a huge headache. About three weeks ag…
What is this dessert?
Looking forward to hearing about your mom.
I can't believe your insurance won't pay!! Have you asked your doctor to write a letter. He may be able to convince them that it is a necessity and finding a cause and cure would save…
My heart must not be in the right place. I've had the worst stuff happen to me since starting this 'mindful giving.' I'm also 'mindful' of all the bad crap that has happened to me. Fighting with my husband, problems at work, you name it. I'm sorry,…
What wonderful gifts - fantastic!
These are all wonderful gifts. Thank you for what you do.
Sharon-Amen! I hear you!
B is an instructor for a call center, teaching the people who answer the phone when you call a 1-800 number for some miracle wrinkle/ED/sleep/energy product you hear on the radio with a "risk free trial." Because he is Mr. Congeniality, at the end o…
