I am restarting my 29 days today. I went to Cancun & although I was still doing nice things for people, I wasn't consciously giving.

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I am trying to change a few things in my life and I agree that focusing on consciously giving to others will change your outlook on life. It would be great if good things were to come my way because of the gift giving but my goal is to be a better person and be consciously aware of other people's needs. I want to help make the world a better place.
What I'd most like to receive:
The ability to focus on other people and what I can do to help change the world vs. always focusing on my problems.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I saw Cami on the Today show!
About me:

Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

"cool" picture!! Love it.

Welcome to 29 Gifts! I'm so glad you decided to join us.

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.
