Took a long break...

I have not been on here in quite a while. I am in the process of designing a fund raising project to benefit Can Do MS and/or other MS-related non-profits. I am looking for people who are interested in committing to making a quilt square. I am not sure if I am allowed to post something like this on the giving challenge site, but if anyone is interested in more information, it is a work in progress and I can get the information to those interested if you email me.This should be fun and is taking…See More

day????

I guess I got behind in my postings with the new year. My dog has been not feeling well and life gets ahead of me. I guess I have to start again, even though I didn't stop. I kept giving...just not as mindfully as I would have liked to.Ah, tomorrow starts a new day.See More

2:22 &2:23

Day 22--my give was letting my son spend a little bit extra (okay a lot extra) time playing video games while I was working from home. It helped both of us ;)Day 23--I made a turkey dinner and broke out two bottles of wine I had been saving for a special occasion. It was nice. Family and friends to enjoy time with on the 1st day of the new year. Also let my son help me make cupcakes instead of doing it myself. He enjoyed helping and they were really, really good.See More

Yes you get it both ways. When you smile it makes you happy and when you see a smile you get another dose.

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I am choosing to give purposefully and mindfully so that I can make a difference to others.
What I'd most like to receive:
I don't know what I would like to receive most...but I would most like to have a sense of peace and serenity in my heart and home.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I heard about it briefly in an article...promptly forgot about it, and saw the book on the shelf at the bookstore and knew I needed to buy it.
About me:
I am living a life filled with challenges, including multiple sclerosis. I was in a very, very sad spot and felt hopeless and alone. I decided that I needed to do something very different before my world crumbled further. I am going to school to learn fundraising skills and grant writing, in hopes that I can give back to the wonderful nonprofit organizations that have helped my family throughout my lifetime.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
