Continuing to live an open, giving, purposeful life♥

This week was the end of my giving challenge..and it's Thanksgiving, how appropriate!

It has been an amazing journey, and I am so grateful for the friends I have made here and for the new perspective I have as a result of living a more purposeful life. I realize that this was intended to help us be mindful of others, but I also realize that the greatest gift was a complete sense of freedom and love of myself that I never would have imagined I could feel. Digging deep and connecting with my innerself and loving who she is, completely..for the first time really, was life changing.…See More

Day 19, 20 and 21

Wow this challenge is flying by! I have already adopted a different mindset in so many ways...and becoming more mindful of the little things that can make a difference. Over the last few days my biggest accomplishments in giving were focused on helping my best friend who has been having a tough time realizing where he is in his life and where he is going..ironically, receiving the card I sent him as part of the Challenge really touched him and helped him see things in a different light. I am so…See More

I think we can all relate to feeling that way..somedays your spirit soars, somedays your ego nags at you and makes you think you are all alone and nothing is right..don't you love it when the spirit wins out? :-) Could be the same situation…

Days 12/13

Happy Wednesday, Gang!Day 11Unfortunately, my daughter who is 13 is just getting the really crappy part of becoming a "woman" and had to be picked up from school early in the day. I wasn't sure what my gft would be today, since I was home with her, but I did manage to pick up my friends kids as promised and help them with some homework questions on the way to drop them off :-) I picked up some of my daughters favorite munchies that she craves on my way home, and we watched one of her favorite…See More

Why I'm choosing to give:
I believe strongly in the message " Be the change you wish to see in the world" (Ghandi) There is nothing quite like giving of yourself in any way..small or large..and practicing random acts of kindness ROCKS!
What I'd most like to receive:
What I want most to receive is a sense of camaraderie and unity that comes when we treat each other as spiritual beings having a human experience instead of the other way around. The holidays are a very difficult time for me..I have lost my immediate family to various illnesses, including my parents..it will be a year for my dad and two years for my mom. I am blessed with an amazing daughter and want to continue to show her the importance of living a purposeful life and being thankful for what we DO have.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
The Q Kindness Cafe on Facebook..how incredible are they? :-)
About me:
Former hospice RN, current Reiki Master. Owner and president of SpiritmovesmeReiki, Inc. Avid reader, occasional blogger, determined activist..Ambassador for Made By Survivors..passionate abolitionist! Proud mom of one amazing kid..we make each other laugh every day ;-)

Heather,
I actually used the card that you can print from this website, although I do make cards sometimes, as I am an artist and scrapbooker. I just love leaving little surprises!
