Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
It's just the right thing to do. I love the idea, I love how it makes you feel and a huge believer of the "what you put out, you get back theory" of life!
What I'd most like to receive:
I love music so much and I really enjoy sharing it as well. I'll take anything involving my music. From a few new fans to seeing my music becoming my sole thrilling income. (getting out of the red and seeing the black on my spread sheets) You always hear of the "struggling, starving musicians" It can be a battle sometimes to keep going but it's just something I've never been able to shake. I can see the day clearly in my head, having the gratitude for "never giving up" because somewhere deep inside of me, I knew I'd get there. Does that make sense? :)
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I had the pleasure of meeting Cami and her husband at a church performance about a month ago. They are such great folks and I was totally into what they have started - Such a great idea and challenge.
About me:
I am a singer/songwriter in the Los Angeles area. I've been fortunate enough to get involved with "Positive Music" scene here and travel to various "new thought" churches sharing my music -- I LOVE IT --

I've just finished my second CD "Why Can't I" and I'm in the process of promoting the new material.

So I slacked!

Posted on November 13, 2008 at 5:21pm 3 Comments

I like to say I fell off the wagon, yet again ... a little while ago -- this is me "getting back on"



I've recommitted to the GIVE a few days ago and I pledge to do my best to keep up with the BLOG! That's always the "kicker" for me ... I do the giving -- I just have trouble with the reporting side of it.



I hope this finds you all well and happy. I'm so excited for Cami and this whole website. It's amazing how quickly it's grown and how many folks continue to "jump on… Continue

17 & 18 ... Here we go!

Posted on September 30, 2008 at 8:00pm 4 Comments

Well first thing in my inbox day yesterday was a note from a friend who is doing the AIDS walk coming up asking for a little support --- So I thought -- well, doesn't that just work out well -- A completely unexpected "give" -- I didn't even have to plan that out! Not that I mind when I do. So that was a "give me day" -- :)



Today I had to head downtown to pick up some paperwork and I actually found street parking, which is always nice. I saw the meter person coming down the street… Continue

I forgot one ...

Posted on September 28, 2008 at 8:52pm 2 Comments

As I finished my last blog... I got a little more organized -- made a quick little chart -- with gives and the days I have done and ones left to go -- I realized -- I did a great give and totally forgot --



So this is going in as Day 16...



I play racquetball on Wednesday and Friday nights with a great group of friends. It's really a "highlight" of my week. I look forward to it so much -- Just a great group of people and we have such a good time together. So anyway, I had… Continue

Oh, I've been bad!

Posted on September 28, 2008 at 8:36pm 2 Comments

So technically I should be on day 20 ... HOWEVER, I've been bad. Not that I haven't been giving mind you because if you have read this blog at all you know I've been giving presents to a certain birthday girl for a long time on my "40 days of presents" idea.



I'm not sure why exactly I've "fallen off the wagon" so to speak but the beauty of "falling off" is you can always "jump right back on" -- Over the last week or so I wouldn't say that I didn't "give" at all. I did do a few little… Continue

Day 12 - "taking it easy"

Posted on September 20, 2008 at 11:00am 3 Comments

So today I didn't have a "give idea" pop out at me and I thought -- through out the day I'll just see where it goes and what might come my way. Well, nothing really did and then I thought "hang on a minute Melissa" -- My partner is turning 40 this October and a while ago a friend of mine was telling me how she did "30 days of presents" for her husband when he turned 30. I thought that is really cute, why not "40 days of presents" -- So about two weeks ago I started doing just that for… Continue
