Eileen, I just looked up Guerilla Aid. What a great concept! I am definitely bookmarking Barton. Thank you!

Today's giving is a really simple one: I painted the name of my friends' newborn on a little rock to match their own outside the front door

Also, an easy one--I put www.thechildhealthsite.com on my favorites. It's easy to just click once a day and sponsers send money for causes.

Today, I gave my in-laws a bottle of ChocoVine. I have been so stingy with them and I need to reopen my heart for my son's sake.

How to start giving is an interesting problem. I am going to have to create situations and not just wait for an opportunity.

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I want to rethink the act of giving during this time of year and want it to be heart-felt again. I feel tied to a cycle of money...I want to do as much giving as possible without using money, without adding to consumer culture.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Calm in my mind, and peace in my heart.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Yoga Journal had an article about Cami that inspired me.
- About me:
- I am a mom of an 18-month old shining little boy. We spend our days together discovering the world.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
