"Thanks for your note from earlier this week. I have been faltering a bit, trying to get my footing so to speak in the face of some financial issues, but with getting back to meditation/yoga and beginning my second round of giving, I feel better all…"

Day 5

Treating myself and my sister to a wonderful weekend of movies at a film festival that is literallly taking place 5 minutes from my house. This is the fifth year and it keeps getting bigger and better. I am having my sister stay with me, and will treat her to the movies. It should be a great time and I plan to relax and enjoy myself and connect with her. We have had our ups and downs lately and this is just what the doctor ordered.

"So sorry for the loss of your grandmother, but I can see visiting your other grandmother in the nursing home, really has been a gift to her and it sounds like it has been for you too. Nursing homes are tough places to visit so I'm sure she…"

"I downsized my business at the end of 2007 - it was a tough decision on one hand, as I had to let several employees go, but on the other I was able to get out of the debt I had incurred and now I am my only employee. I'm sure you will land on…"

Patty Hall commented on Cat's blog post the gift of listening
"I too have been struggling with a friend, feeling overwhelmed by her anger and obsessing over things she cannot or will not change. And it has been a burden to listen to her - but this gives me renewed energy to be compassionate and try not to put…"

day 1

Today, I start my second round. I will be taking my sister to two movies today--we love seeing all the Oscar movies before the awards show and there are two at our local cinema. She will be so happy when she sees her movies are free! This is definitely a gift for me too. Have a great day of giving everyone.See More

"Congratulations on finishing your round of giving.  You might want to try a round of self-giving.  I've found that this is quite a powerful experience too. Enjoy your journey!"

"Hang in there. Working two jobs is definitely draining. The nice thing about doggies is they still worship you even when you can't be and play with them as much as you and they would like."

Haven't started over yet

I finished my 29 days about a week ago and haven't started over yet but I plan to do so. I have noticed myself being a bit more anxious than usual and centered on my problems and realize that with the challenge I was looking outside myself much more. So I know I will be starting again soon, for my sake as well as those with whom I will share my gifts.

I'm pretty excited to say that I finished my first 29 day cycle of giving. It was harder than I imagined, but also much more rewarding. The best part of it, I think, is that it takes you outside of your own self and your problems and puts you in a more global mind frame. The possibilities for giving seem endless, but at times it was hard to figure out what to do. My second to last day was truly a mysterious thing--I had decided to spend the day reaching out to people I had lost touch with. One… Continue
