Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I'm turning forty Friday March 13th 2009 and I feel very lucky to have a comfortable life now and want to give back to others. I found this site just when I needed some inspiration ... and Cami seems to be sending me the right messages through her blogs, just when I need them.
What I'd most like to receive:
The joy of giving without any strings attached. The introspection of being consciously aware of my giving spirit. Finally, learning that it is alright to give to myself!
