Emily, I have come back to this one a few times to read it again. Even though it is not an acrostic, thank you sharing it. Anyone who has gone to the ocean and was fortunate enough to have a similar experience could appreciate it that you put this…

Day 13

Today was a fairly okay day... My gifts were to my sister and my friends. I had some money and so I paid for a few things for them when we went downtown today. I also made an extra effort to be extra friendly to everyone I passed by today! It paid off when I smiled and said "Hello" to a woman walking down the street and she said "Hello, you ladies are looking lovely today." Ah, the hearts of some people!

Gifts 9, 10

I haven't been able to blog lately because I have been on vacation with my friend! I had a blast, and being taken on the trip was a gift in itself!So gift 9 was to my sisters friend. She is staying with us for a week, and she wasn't feeling well the other day. (Turns out, she was barfing all day. Ew.) Anyway, instead of shying away like I would usually do, I went up to her and asked if she was okay, and if she needed anything.Gift 10 was not a great giving day... I have to admit that I didn't…See More

Gifts 7 and 8

So, I'm a little bit hooked on leaving things on people's doorsteps... :-)Yesterday I wrote down a quote and left it on my neighbors doorstep.There is this woman who lives in my dad's apartment building who stands outside smoking a lot of the time. She always looks kind of sad and lonely. Today my gift was to write down a quote about happiness and self-worth, and leave it on her doorstep along with some pretty purple flowers!Tonight our friend Jim, the one I mentioned before who has a brain…See More

Gift #6

Today I gave service to a friend. One of our very good family friends was diagnosed with brain cancer a little under a year ago, and a few days ago his wife sent out a request for help around the garden. My sister and I went to their house this morning and helped weed their garden. It felt good to help such a deserving family.See More

Days 4 and 5 (the best gift yet!)

Yesterday for gift #4, the kitchen was a huge mess. We had friends over for dinner the night before and my mom hadn't had time to clean yet. She has been really busy and stressed lately, so I decided to do the dishes for her! She really appreciated it and it felt good to help!Today was my favorite give so far! We have these neighbors who are both really old and cute. I watched Valentine's Day a couple days ago, and was inspired... So I picked a bouquet of flowers from around the garden and put…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
Because I want to stop being so concerned with myself and my own problems, and start looking around and realizing that there is so much more out there than what is in my head.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
My mom
About me:
I am 16 years old. I love horseback riding, music, and dance. I love giving because it makes me feel like I am positively contributing to a persons life. I first heard about this from my mom who saw it on TV and I just finished the book which was so good and inspiring.
