Hi Libby
It certainly is a positive place! As a newcomer to this network, I have found it so refreshing to be reading posts that are not filled with the cynicism and hostility that often reduce online forums to smoldering flame wars.
All the best…

Thanks Dawn...I think if you make yourself happy then you can make others happy as well. I really loved the class I just finished and all of the online dicussion were a lot like our chats, so that's why I decided to do a minor in women studies.…
Pat Halverson commented on Libby Hopkins's blog post 'Flyer. R3-Day 19 (05/03/09)'
I am sure the flyers are wonderful. No it's not bad to give to yourself all the time I don't think, it makes it possible to refuel to keep giving to others!

What a nice and thoughtful give!
Dawn wwt commented on Libby Hopkins's blog post 'Women Studies. R3- Day 20 (05/04/09)'
an important part of this challenge for me has been learning to recognize that it is not necessarily selfish to do things for myself. if you are happy with your life, it spills over to others. enjoy your class, it sounds interesting! Hugs, Dawn
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I feel that if you are nice and do good things for people, it will come back to you. It doesn't mean you'll get money for your good deed. You will get the reward of helping someone and there is no amount of money in the world that could replace that feeling.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- That all my prayers for my friends and family come into reality. I love them all so much and I want them to be happy.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Skirt Magazine
- About me:
- I live in Florida and I would love to help people get their voices heard. Everyone has a story but not everyone knows it and that is what I was put on this earth to do for these un-heard voices.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes!

A great compliment on my 29th day! R3-Day 29 (05/13/09)
Posted on May 29, 2009 at 10:52am 2 Comments 0 Likes
I feel bad that I haven’t been gifting that much lately. I have been receiving gifts. The lady I interviewed that other day emailed my editor and told her how much she enjoyed me and how professional I was as well. My editor was very pleased. I know that journalism is what I’m supposed to do with my life. I love it with all my heart. I realized today is my 29th day of my third cycle. I will be back because this is too much fun and I love that fact that everyone is so positive. Please stay that… Continue
Painting classes. R3-Day 28 (05/12/09)
Posted on May 29, 2009 at 10:07am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Today I did my first interview for my internship. I met a lady named Patty and she owns a painting business. She holds in-home painting classes. We ended up talking more about our lives than the questions I needed to ask for the interview. By the time I left, she offered me a free class and I told her I would get her some names from the university to help her get into an art therapy program. We gifted each other. Interning is another great way for me to get my gifts done and meet new people. I… Continue
Internship starts. R3-Day 27 (05/11/09)
Posted on May 29, 2009 at 9:45am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Today I started my internship with The Osprey Observer. I was so nervous and they threw me right into the mix! I was assigned a ton of stories and I was cool with that. They sent me out to meet different people in the community and I loved it! I think I was the recipient of a gift with this internship.
Happy Mother's Day!! R3-Day 26 (0510/09)

Happy Mother’s Day to all my friends that are moms! I took my mom to the Tampa Bay History Museum that just opened. She had wanted to go for a long time. They have a little café inside the museum and we ate lunch overlooking Tampa Bay. It was a wonderful day! I also took my step-mom out for breakfast before church this morning as well. Both of my moms had a wonderful day! I hope all of you had a wonderful day as well!
Attended a workshop. R3-Day 25 (05/09/09)
Posted on May 29, 2009 at 8:24am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Today I went to a writer’s workshop and I met some amazing people. I really didn’t give a physical gift, but I made some new friends. That’s a gift, right? I think so! I met one of the local newspaper reporters whose column I love and he even remembered me from emails I had sent him complementing him on his column. He was very nice and now we are even friends on Facebook. I love meeting and getting to know people. I love sharing stories about our interests and lives. I guess that’s just the… Continue
