"No problem :) Hahaha, I'm assuming you're not from CA. I wouldn't say we have nice weather most of the year, but then again I can't exactly compare to any other states because I've lived here my whole life. To sum it…"

Jan 29 Big Give: Setting NEW intentions for your NEW Year at Worldwide

January 29, 2011 all day
The first day of the new year instills new hopes and dreams, fresh starts, and the promise of new opportunities ahead. It also brings the dreaded Resolution tradition, when, on January 1st, we're expected to pick one big thing to give up or change, leaving us guilt-ridden if we fail. At 29 Gifts, we prefer to set Intentions.  We're all for tradition, but guilt?  Not so much. Since the Giving Theme for January is…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I need to find myself again. I've lost so many things that made me who I am today. Now I'm trying to survive without these parts of me, and I'm not strong enough to handle it on my own. I went to the bookstore today and came across this book. Now I have hope. Maybe somehow I'll get myself back through giving away.
What I'd most like to receive:
Comfort and strength.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I read (but didn't get the time to finish, I'm sad to say) 29 Gifts.
About me:
My name is Alexis. I'm young in age, but I have an old soul. I love to write, read, act, sing, dance, play golf, play piano, listen to music, watch movies, and make movies. My many faults include procrastinating, procrastinating, and procrastinating. Did I mention procrastinating? That too. However, when I really set my mind to something, I finish thoroughly and brilliantly. I have a broken heart. First time, and I'm still learning how to deal. Not going well. I'm hoping that this regimen will cure me, or at last make me stronger. I really do want to be stronger.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

Day 7: Committment

Posted on December 28, 2010 at 9:30pm 3 Comments

As I write this, I am amazed at my ability to write this. Right now, my entire body is working just as it should. I am in mint condition at the peak of my years, as it pertains to my health. But also as I write this, there is another girl - many, many other girls - who is just my age, but cannot say the same of her health. It amazes me that we are two of the same, and yet worlds apart. I…

Is it okay to give a gift to yourself?

 

I had a gift in mind for someone else yesterday: my friend, Marcie, and I have been planning for months to have a "Glee"pover at my house. Glee Marathon! But we've never really capitalized on it. She lives half an hour away from me, and she's a family friend that I've known for…

Day 4: A Dance

Posted on December 26, 2010 at 2:00pm 5 Comments

 

Yesterday was Christmas! My family spent it at my grandma's house. She is a stage 3 lymphoma victim. We recently found out about 2 months ago. I knew I wanted to give her something special, but I was having trouble of coming up with something to give. Then I had the perfect idea.

 

My grandma is in her late sixties. Before we found out she…
