Days 2 and 3 - weekend edition

On Saturday I did a charity walk with some friends to benefit an autism group.  The walk was sponsored by a chocolate company. After the walk, I had to run to a writing class so I gave my vouchers for free chocolate away. Normally, I would never do that (I LOVE CHOCOLATE!) but I figured they should be enjoyed by someone. Letting good chocolate go to waste is a crime, in my opinion. (And it didn't go to my waist, either. Win, win!) I sent some relatives a card and filled it with coupons for free…See More

Recommitting to 29 days - Day 1

It's been THREE YEARS since I've posted...but that doesn't mean that I haven't been giving, in my own way, on a regular basis. I've incorporated the "29 Gifts" principles to my everyday life - whether it's donating school supplies to underprivileged schools, "adopting" a nice homeless man and his sweet dog by giving them bags of dog food/treats, human snacks and a little money where I can, and buying Christmas presents for children who otherwise wouldn't get them. I stumbled on the site again…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I think it's important to share with others. It's what I learned in kindergarten, and it's what I practice now.
What I'd most like to receive:
Just knowing I've left the world a little better than I found it is good enough for me. But since you asked....I would LOVE to get a book deal for my essays.

I received this email from a law school classmate and was moved to help. I have included the letter below, along with information about the fund for those who are interested in helping.



We are writing you this letter because we know you have a big heart. We want to tell you about a family that is in desperate need of help. The well has run dry for city and state services, and if this family does not receive help from people like you, their future hangs in the… Continue

Day 15 - the gift of beauty products

Posted on October 24, 2008 at 2:31pm 0 Comments

I attended this event last night in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and got a nice little gift bag filled with lots of beauty supplies and samples. I have really sensitive skin, so I have to stick with certain products. A woman I work with is a major fashionista, so I brought it to her today and she was thrilled.

Day 14 - signed a petition to help Iraqi war vet get her dog back

Posted on October 20, 2008 at 7:32am 1 Comment

Last week, I signed an online petition to allow Army Spec. Gwen Beberg to get her puppy back from Iraq. The military has a policy against allowing members to bring animals back with them after their service is complete. I was getting ready for work this morning and heard the good news on TV - she is being reunited with her puppy, Rachet. You can read the story here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27267422/

Hi Lindsay! Welcome to the movement. That you had such a giving day before you "signed on" probably means it was just waiting to happen.
I was in Chicago earlier this month--I grew up there and my parents are still there--and it was lovely!
There's a Chicago 29Gifters Group, that you might want to join. Click on "Groups" above and find the Chicago one.
Good giving!
