When she did, she stumbled on my 29-day Giving Challenge blog!At the event, she requested more…See More

29 gifts in memory of YETTY

Hi folks,I broke my 29 day giving challenge chain on the 16th of February when my best friend suddenly collapsed and passed on. She was a generous giver and I infact was going to introduce this website to her the same night I got the news of her demise. I was preoccupied with the funeral arrangements that I couldn't find time to "give"as a result, my 29 day challenge chain was broken.She would have turned 49 yesterday 5th August and I have decided to honor her memory by starting the 29 day…See More

DAY 4

It is 5pm and besides smiling at everyone that I came into contact with, I have not really given anything for the day. Despite that I was tired from work , I decided to cook for my hubby his favourite dish. With the amount of time and effort put into the cooking , it seems to me to be a perfect gift for the day.See More

DAY 1 2 AND 3

DAY 1-8th FebruaryI watched a breakfast television show (Morning Live) and got aware of the 29-Day Giving challenge.It struck me as a very thoughtful and noble idea that I decided there and then that I was going to sign up, only problem is I dont know when and how to start.Later in the day, I received a text message from a friend informing me of her daughter's admission to the hospital awaiting a blood transfusion. As I didnt know how bad the situation was, I decided to go be with her and drove…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I feel the need to start counting my blessings by focusing on what the lord has done for me, my husband, my children and my extended family and stop brooding over what the lord hasn't done for "me". I want to shift the focus from "me" and start giving thoughts to those less priviledged than I am by giving out in cash or in kind.
What I'd most like to receive:
God's blessings. After all the bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
Morning Live on SABC 2 from Mbali Creazzo
About me:
I am a 46 year old woman. I work as an attorney in welkom in the Free State. I am married and the marriage is blessed with 3 sons.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes
