Adine commented on Paula's blog post A Different Direction of Giving

"May you be blessed with what you need and I send my condolences for your mother's passing. What an amazing gift to care for a lady with Alzheimers. You are constantly in a state of giving pretty much. You are an inspiration to me."

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:: I need to know just how selfish I have become. I need to get out of my own self. I need to be motivated to go, do, give and live!

What I'd most like to receive:: Friends

How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?: In a random (probably someone who loves me) email

About me:: I'm 45. I live with and care for a 80 yr old woman who suffers from alzheimers disease. We are at the stage where she no longer can have one sentence conversations. I am trying to reach out into a world I feel like I have become isolated from. I am single. All my children are grown. I love my kids, my animals, and my friends.

Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?: Absolutely.
