29-Day Gift Giving Challenge: Day 5
After the challenges I had in the last round of the gift giving challenge, I've started keeping a list near me so that when I get an idea for a gift I can give I write it down and when it comes to the end of the…
"Danger, Danger Will Robinson!"
My laptop computer's charging cord has a short in it. My screen keeps getting darker and lighter and I'm only half charged on my battery. If I hold REAL STILL I might be able to make it through this entry, but I'll k…
Does this look familiar?
Yep, I'm going for it again here in the New Year. I left off with my blogging somewhere around Day 13 or 14 last time because of two pressing deadlines, but I'm going for it again with a fresh start and a new attitude.
I…
I stopped blogging, so I stopped counting, but today wins the prize for the fastest gift turn around.
I was in the check out line at Trader Joe's tonight while the clerks were trading places at the check stand. The incoming checker brought a drawer…
Although my practice of giving and participating in the challenge continues, my blogging about it is on hold for the moment.
Over the next couple of weeks I am up against a deadline with two important reports to complete, so all other writing needs…
29 Gifts In 29 Days: Days 11 & 12
Gah! The days are just running past me!
The gifting theme of the past several days has been about re-connecting. I've been exchanging long e-mails and visiting with old childhood friends the past few days. So my g…

29 Gifts In 29 Days: Days 9 & 10
The days are startin' to blur over here, but I didn't want another one to go by without writing.
Let's see...
The gifts I've given in the past two days combined are:
I ordered groceries online for my mom and brou…
You are so gifted in your writing and bringing things into a new light! Thank you and have a gr8 new day!
Just a little fyi--I love to read your blogs. They are so insightful and they help me to see with a more spiritual vision--a vision that I am truly welcoming to my life. Thanks to your writing --today I will allow myself to stretch even further out…
29 Gifts In 29 Days: Day 8
I talked a little about recognizing, but now let's talk about stretching.
When I was talking to my friend the other day at lunch we talked about the ways in which we normally give in our day to day lives. Not to be sexis…
Thank you for helping me to see things in a different light! I love the photo. Beautiful feeling when I look at it =0)
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I heard about the 29 Day Giving Challenge and made the decision to do it on a Sunday as I was driving home from an afternoon of seeing clients. That evening I was looking forward to telling my boyfriend about it and I was going to suggest we both do it. I was planning to have dinner with him, which we did most Sunday evenings after I came home from work, but instead he called and said, "We have to talk..." Not quite as bad as Berger breaking up with Carrie on a Post-It on "Sex & The City", but my bf took that moment to break up our seven year (off and on) relationship on a phone call that lasted about five minutes. I understand he's currently quite active in the online dating scene using the tricks of a "Net To Bed" technique he learned from a online dating entrepreneur. Classy! No time like your late '40's to enjoy a second or third adolescence combined with a mid-life crisis I guess. He's out there ladies! Enjoy!

29 Day Giving Challenge: Day 4
My day today was kinetic. Is it just me or is everyone feeling this quickening? We're only 4 days in and things are just happenin'!
I knew today was going to be a busy day wherever I went because most everyone is just now coming back from the holiday break. I was in line at the bank at 4pm today and the place was teeming with bodies. The man behind me said, "What is everyone doing here? Shouldn't these people all be at work?" Yes people, you heard the man.… Continue

29 Gift Challenge: Day 3
* Disclaimer: I feel like I gave a lot from the heart today, but the nature of the gifts were personal and confidential. So there's more here than will meet the eye, so to speak.
I saw a client today and we had a great session that really touched my heart. And again, what I notice when I start doing this challenge in a very conscious way is that there is just NO WAY to out give the Universe. I love what I do and am paid well for it AND my client brought me a Chr… Continue

"Danger, Danger Will Robinson!"
My laptop computer's charging cord has a short in it. My screen keeps getting darker and lighter and I'm only half charged on my battery. If I hold REAL STILL I might be able to make it through this entry, but I'll keep it short and sweet.
The first gift of the day defies description. Ever since the New Year started there has just been this incredible WHOOSH of energy moving through me. I don't think I'm alone in feeling it, New Year's typically is one of your t… Continue

Enjoy your 29 Days and don't forget to share some stories to help inspire others. If you need help posting in your Personal Giving Blog, follow these directions.
Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. We're striving to reach our goal of 29,000 committed givers, and you can help: Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.
The book 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life - authored by 29 Gifts founder Cami Walker is now in stores. You can also buy through Amazon.
Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.

Thanks for the inspiration.
You are in fact one class act! Hard to follow! :-)
God, when I first saw the picture without having read the blog, I thought the beef bourguignon had exploded on you -- kind of like ala "Julie and Julia' or something. Reassuring to realize it was intentional. Nice!
Will someone pleeeaase clue me in on how to upload a picture into a blog post? Pretty please????? :-) :-) :-) :-)
So today, with Valentine's Day in the air, I mailed valentine cards (hoping they get to out of town friends / family in time. In my son's valentine I mailed a McD coupon. He's away at college and thought he would appreciate that. He is always out of…
Dear Deb, Thank you for the comment. It is interesting that you say that I am a very loving and giving spirit. I felt that I was "letting it all hang out" by going ahead and admitting the ugly thoughts that run through my head and the things I do in…
For me some of the best gifts I can give to my 21 year old son is to be quiet. It is hard... I'm sure they appreciate it sometimes.
Love how you decided to change your perspective of your second situation and have it become a gift instead of a loss.
