Kristin Nelson commented on Kristin Nelson's blog post 'Day 29'

I am going to keep giving everyday. I don't know that I will keep blogging on it. I am more conscious of what I give everyday. If I feel myself going a different direction I hope that the universe taps me on the shoulder and gets me back in…

What you gave was fantastic so it surprised me to see you write "that's all I gave".

Day 25

I finally hit the day where I had no idea what to give, so I waited patiently for my opportunity, and of course it did. (Oh, how I admire this website, Cami, the book, all the co-givers, for helping me spend my passing thoughts on "what to give?" instead of "why, why, why").So my boss came to sit with me and see what I was up to. I shared with her some thoughts I had about what I needed from her and how she could better understand what challenges I face and what my needs are to do a better job…See More

That's good stuff. I felt the same way today.

Day 24

I've committed to doing a 30 day workout bootcamp with my son at 630 every morning for an hour. He's in 2nd grade and he wants to be stonger and more flexible than he is. I'd like to think this is a gift for him-- as his role model I can show him how hard work, dedication and challenging ones self leads to worthwhile results, but it is really a gift for me. I love seeing his face all focused and determined. I also love his energy and willingness to push himself and grow. I know this is going to…See More

What a good one. I love a good cry. I always think the better I feel the more easily I am moved to tears. Being too numb to cry stinks! Said a prayer that all your tests are negative...

Day 21

I bought coffee for a co-worker who complains about contributing to gifts (like when you go in on a gift for someone who's expecting, or undergoing surgery, etc). Our team is large enough that contribution is always $5 or less, so sometimes I wonder why she doesn't want to contribute towards someones gift. (no religious reasons, just doesn't want to 'spend' money--although she loves to shop--her perogative, of course). I surprised her with a latte, just the way she likes them. It was worth the…See More

Day 29

Today the gifts I gave were to my self and my dog :-). Today was a beautiful day. I was so fortunate. I went to a workshop led on the Chakras led by a wonderful person who had so much to share. He's a trained yogi, buddhist, as well as someone who believes in intergrating psychological principles into his teaching to link it all together. He was so witty, charming, kind, and intelligent. I learned so much. It is such a gift to sit in a group with like-minded kind-hearted people and learn…

I made a Kiva loan! I did it in honor of the people who participate here and the inspiration that Cami has been to all of us. I choose a Sierra Leone group of teachers to lend money to because I did a term paper in my international business class in college on the brutality perpetrated on the innocent civilians by the diamond industry. My proposed plan was to set up safe factories there for all the talented people who can make beautiful handicrafts/garments there--and their talents go unused.… Continue

Today I bought coffee for a new person at work to welcome them aboard. I also made an effort to introduce myself to more people that I met in passing. People really like to feel connected, and I could see that when I was taking the time just to share names and wish them a 'thank you', a 'welcome' or a 'have a good day'.

I live in a community known for being materialistic and shallow. And since living here I have found myself saying that "people are so rude", never realizing I don't do…

I gave a yoga lesson to a colleague who asked me about yoga. She had never experienced it, so I was happy to share. She is so warm and lovely, as well as shy and a little nervous. I was glad to help her learn so she could feel comfortable taking a class and be confident that she was "good enough" at it--(there is no such thing as "good enough at yoga", but I understand the intimidation of walking into a room and not knowing what to expect or if the challenge is going to be too challenging). She… Continue
