Day 1: Being honest with myself and others

Started this discussion. Last reply by Everyday is a Gift Sep 7, 2011. 3 Replies

I'd like to preface this by saying that I try to live my life very openly, but today was particularly difficult. The boy that I met just a few days ago is now leaving for college and I'd been…Continue

It's Been A While

Hello, Givers!I'm sorry I haven't been around for a while...Things have gotten crazy down here in San Antonio! From community service projects to representing a non-profit..I've been busy devoting my life to giving!As with any other "job" (though I really like this one...hmm), it can get a bit exhausting...plus, I've missed waking up to my lovely family here!My gift for the day will be helping my mom out around the house. Some family was here for a week for my birthday, and they just left this…See More

Alive Another Day

Every day has been so rewarding lately. I've gotten a lot of random thank you cards and love notes from the people I've given gifts to...and of course... I still give every day!Today I woke up early to bring my best friend some tea at her debate tournament. It took 35 minutes and 3 coffee shops, but it was completed!I've also gotten to talk to a lot of wonderful people today. It's always nice to talk to debaters outside of their rounds. I guess I say that because a majority of them are zany…See More

Valentines Day: The Day For Friendship and Love

Do any of you have any friends that are particularly fantastic?If you do, share your stories!I've been blessed to have wonderful friends who stick with me through anything. I suspect that our constant willingness to communicate our feelings and spend "quality time" together has a lot to do. Are any of you doing anything special with your best friends on Valentines day?Much love, Estefania! See More

Less Wise After Today...

My parents surprised me with a trip to the dentist to  get my wisdom teeth removed! I seriously had no idea this was going to happen until 20 minutes before the procedure... Unfortunate!I had four teeth taken out, it was sort of ridiculous! But the entire time, I couldn't help thinking about how thankful I am for you guys and 29 Gifts in general (even though I don't really get an opportunity to post anymore). Every day I'm reaping the benefits of giving, and every day I have to remind myself…See More

The Ups and the Sundowns

Another weekend full of giving. Lending an ear, spending time with an old friend, trying to make contact with a long-lost one. It's disheartening to not be able to reach her. We used to see each other and speak to each other every day and now I see her maybe twice a year if I'm around her neighborhood and decide to make the trek to her home. I won't give up hope, though. Hope you have a marvelous week, Estefania  See More

New Year, New You!

Ahhh, the new year. Is it a clean slate or a continuation of who you were before?It's both...and that's my favorite part!What are your "resolutions"? Mine are to be more mindful of the way that I treat people and more accepting of the good things that come to me. After all, being gracious is of the utmost importance!Have a wonderful 2012, Your youth ambassador, Estefania See More

It happened!

I have been accepted :) I seriously do not know how something so wonderful happened, but I'm glad it did! It was just such a nice day filled with so many happy thoughts . My gift for the day was patience. Even though it kind of faltered a little, I'm sure I could have been a lot worse, haha. I have so many thanks to say and so much gratitude to relay. I've been given an incredible opportunity and I promise to take in every moment and enjoy every beautiful thing life has to offer. Thank you all…See More

Tomorrow's the day!

I find out from Wellesley.... I can't believe it's here already!Today, I decided to "step up" my gifts. I gave my American history teacher (the one I gave my first gift to) an Abraham Lincoln daily quote book (he's her favorite president). I gave it to her during passing period and went off to English. My English teacher asked me to come to his desk 10 minutes into class and showed me his computer... My teacher had personally IMed him just to let me know how thankful she was for the gift!AND,…See More

Each day I am thankful for..

“Each day I am thankful for nights that turned into mornings, friends that turned into family, dreams that turned into reality, and likes that turned into love.” When I saw that, my heart soared. And yes...in the totally cheesy, instant-rush of happiness, kind of way. Yesterday, I thought I was going to lose my way again. I thought I was going to get yelled at for breaking the rules at a writing competition (I wrote in first person instead of third because I got all existential-crisis while…See More

May today there be peace within.  May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.  May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.  May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.  May you be content with yourself just the way you are.  Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.  It is there for each and every one of us."
