Trying Again - Day 1

I tried the 29 Day Giving Challenge three years ago and failed miserably. I got wrapped up in my own life and forgot the spirit of the movement. Looking back, I see that not a lot has changed in my life these past few years. I think that has a lot to do with forgetting to follow my own "babysteps" philosophy at making small daily steps every day toward changing my life. I intend to make 2011 the year of change for me, and I think the 29 Day Giving Challenge is the way to get things started…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:: I left a fulfilling job due to a stressful work environment. I was 3 months pregnant. I have begun documenting my transitional journey to changing my life, becoming a freelance writer, and working toward self-fulfillment in my blog, Everyday Baby Steps, at www.everydaybabsteps.com. Giving in this way will help me in my self-reflection.

What I'd most like to receive:: An abundance of creativity and motivation that could lead to paying freelance work. I've already begun coming closer to that goal with the implementation of my blog.

How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?: The Savvy Gal

About me:: I am a former college academic adviser and aspiring freelance writer and a mother of three, ages 12, 10, and 3. I'm married to a wonderful man, 20 years my senior. All of this makes life fun as well as frantic.

Day 5 - Spreading the Word

Posted on July 31, 2008 at 1:16am 1 Comment 0 Likes

Today I submitted an article to a website I write for. The article was about the 29-Day Giving Challenge! I spoke with Cami by phone last week to interview her for my blog and for possible publication. I've been researching paying publications but haven't found one that's just right for the article, so I decided to give it to Mommy Matter, www.mommymatter.com, a site where I contribute for free.

Day Three for Me

Posted on July 31, 2008 at 1:02am 1 Comment 0 Likes

Today I gave a phone call to a friend. I wanted to check in on her because she recently underwent surgery that involved going into her brain. While she is recovering, she is staying with family and is away from her daughter. I know this is difficult for her, to say the least. I wish I could be there, but she's two hours away. So I decided to call. She's doing quite well, all things considered, and is in good spirits. I'm glad I was able to talk to her.

Day 4 - Corn

Today's gift was small, but kind of big - I gave corn. To my ex-husband. Yep, we had some extra ears that wouldn't get eaten at our house, so when he came to get the kids, I sent it with him. Good to know we're on such good terms, huh?

Mary's Day 2

Posted on July 24, 2008 at 3:59pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

I gave a friend some free Mary Kay samples and cosmetics because I accidentally forgot to put in an order for her. I felt terrible that her stuff was not here, so I gave her some freebies to make up for her wait.
