I find that the biggest gift I am getting from doing the 29Gifts is thoughtfulness....It seems now that no matter where I am, who I am with or what I am doing, the predominant thought in my mind is "What can I give today?" And what a fantastic feeling that gives me.

Karen,
A great big "Hey!" from Woodstock, Ga, USA! I am so happy we have so many givers from all over the world! Thanks for joining at such an exciting time! I am on the 14th day in the 6th round of 29 days. I hope you have the wonderful experience here that I have!
Let me know if you need any help!
We did a "give" in Atlanta a few months ago and gave away 100 roses on a sidewalk, it was 9 members from the metro ATL area, we started a "local" group, and you can start or join one too!
Make friends, read blogs, write blogs and leave other folks comments! Post pics and videos, join inner groups and GIVE! Have fun and watch for miracles to happen in your life when you do 29 in 29! Hope to see you around in the site!
