"Sounds like a great way to start a 2nd round of the challenge.
Why is it that we find it easier to encourage others than to encourage ourselves? This is something I continue to work on."

For my last day I decided to give away all the clothes, shoes & handbags that I had intended to sell on ebay. Once that decision had been made I couldn't decide which charity was best to give to. Then this past weekend Victoria had the worst bushfires ever. It is now Tuesday February 10 and it is estimated that the deaths will be in excess of 200 people.

- Kim,
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 9th day in my 8th 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!

2nd 29 Day Challenge - Day 1 - Wednesday August 12, 2009

Today I gave myself the gift of believing in me. I'm always there to encourage others but don't encourage myself often enough. I have wanted to work full time in my own interior design business but have never grown it from a very small business with only a few projects each year. Today I decided that in 3 months I will work full time as an interior designer. It's terrifying thinking of not having a regular income but I have to believe in myself and take a giant leap. I see myself as a… Continue

Today I took more herbs to work. Mint makes water taste so much better! Today I was given a gorgeous top that I admired on a friend and she bought me one, so unexpected and so lovely.

As my 29 days come closer to the end I wonder what I will do for my last day and am looking for inspiration. Today I called family and friends I hadn't spoken to for some time and caught up on what was going on in their lives.
