Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I have been giving for a long time without guidence or thought. I want to reign in the purpose of giving in order to make healthy transformations in my life and make others lives better no matter how small. I was recently diagnosed with a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disorder and know this will help keep my mind in check.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- A sense of peace and well being.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- I first heard about it in a magazine article and then my Grandmother sent me the book as a gift without knowing the seed had been planted.
- About me:
- I am a 32 year old mother of two who has been married to my amazing husband and love of my life for almost 11 years. I am a travel agent and before I became ill was a singer in various bands. In October of 2009, after many months of debilitating symptoms, I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. Now that I have a diagnosis and a treatment plan I am gradually building my strength and stamina to my "new normal."

Day 7, Friday, March 5 - Today I give to the children
Posted on March 6, 2010 at 6:00am 2 Comments 0 Likes
This morning I awoke with more vim and vigor than I have in the past year. Most mornings I feel as though I am walking through wet cement in the middle of thick swamp fog. I think today's improvement is a combination of this commitment to giving and the modification to my treatment. Whatever it is...I LIKE it:)
Last year, before my illness hit me, I was working out in the gym at least 3 times a week and was like the energizer bunny mom. Many things have changed for my kids,…

Posted on March 5, 2010 at 6:30am 2 Comments 0 Likes
Today I woke up nervous as I usually do the day of my IVIG. For those of you who don't know what that is, I spend 6 hours hooked up to an IV so that the autoimmune disorder I have calms down. I have these treatments every two weeks, in my home by the same nurse each session. While I know it helps me, it is not a fun process by any stretch of the imagination and I'm always a little edgy. I was not edgy today but still a little nervous, plus I had no idea what I was going to give today.…

Posted on March 5, 2010 at 6:00am 1 Comment 0 Likes
Today was one of those days I could have spent all day in bed. I was tired to the core from yesterday's trip to the other side of the state and nervous about my new meds. I knew the instant I started to meditate that my mind was growing cluttered with worries and stress. I decide that today I would give myself the gift of rest so I could wholly participate in the greater community. Today I give myself a break, today I give myself a break, today I give myself a break.

Continue Day 4 - Tuesday, March 2nd - Today I Simply Give
Posted on March 2, 2010 at 6:30pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I had a very big day ahead of me today and I woke up late so I had to keep my morning prayer and reflection short and simple. I also realized that I would be spending the majority of my day in the car, I had my appointment with my neurologist on the other side of the state today, so i was feeling challenged in how to give today. For the sake of myself and humanity, I decided to follow the K.I.S.S. rule. Today I simply give, today I simply give, today I simply…
