I love the "compliment" gift. We can all use them and you usually get to receive something right back after giving one......a smile :)

Oh my gosh - you have done sweet things for people today - and you know in your heart they are kind gestures. The response from your husband is what would come from 90% of our husbands. Don't feel frustrated - just let it go....not worth it. Remind…

The new Day 28

Snow, and more snow. I woke up to a blizzard. Then - to find out 10 minutes after waking that my daughter had an indoor soccer game that was not cancelled due to weather - and needed to be there in 45 minutes - YIKES! No shower, teeth brushed, rushing through the snow and ice. What a morning. I found the time to come home today and do something kind for two friends. I made dinner for each of them and then went out in the storm and delivered it. They were both so grateful. It was a wonderful feel… Continue

The new Days 20 thru 27

I admit - it's been a week and I've been kind of behind. We've had snow, snow, snow and more snow! It's a week since my last blog and we started with another snow storm today. This is something that is uncommon in our part of the country (Virginia). I did, however, keep track of my gives. The kids have been out of school so life has been nuts.

Day 21- I stayed in with my 8 year old daughter and painted and did crafts, watched movies, made soup and home made pizza. She loved it. My gift was to P… Continue

The new Day 20

Wow - I felt like a new woman today. I had a Starbuks for the first time in a year - a treat to myself. I met with a dear friend and I donated my time this evening to my daughters school. I was there for 3 and a half hours selling spirit wear. I actually got a lot done today. We are also preparing for the big SNOW again so I hit the movie store and got some movies for my daughter and I to hunker down and watch. I, late at night, took her to Dunkin Donuts to "stock up" since we can't get out due… Continue

The new Day 19

Day 19 was busy as ever. (It seems I start off my blogs with how busy it is in life - but it just doesn't slow down). My gift was meeting with a friend to assist with some insurance needs. I left a big tip and had a special dinner with my daughter after we both had hectic days. Nothing too crazy but I kept it in my mind how important my giving was.

Welcome to 29 Gifts! I'm so glad you decided to join us.

Enjoy your 29 Days and don't forget to share some stories to help inspire others. If you need help posting in your Personal Giving Blog, follow these directions.

Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. We're striving to reach our goal of 29,000 committed givers, and you can help: Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.

The book 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life - authored by 29 Gifts founder Cami Walker is now in stores. You can also buy through Amazon.

Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!

Happy giving!

P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.
