Paula I don't think I ever congratulated you on your year of giving! Congratulations, that is a true accomplishment! I hope to follow in your example, you are an inspiration:)
Paula Swenson commented on Elly Rose-Tech Support's blog post 'Not a Joke'

Day 369 :-)
Hi everyone :-)I really intended to post on Day 365 -- I even had it marked with a reminder on my calendar, but it got away from me in the flurry of 'stuff' . . . so it goes.I'm astonished that it has been a whole year (+) of giving -- wow! And I can tell you that it has truly changed my perspective. I gave a lot before, but the mindfulness of this process, the blogging, the incredible support in this community of gallant givers, is something I am truly grateful for.Today's giving has been…See More

Paula Swenson commented on Carla Sofia's blog post 'A new month and a new start.....'
Carla Sofia, I know how difficult it is to walk away from a relationship that has magical moments, however, it does seem like it is for the best. I hope with you that Nick finds a way to heal himself and learn how to be whole. Meanwhile I am happy…

Well, as predicted the coaching training is keeping me quite busy, altho I do pop in when I can to read what folks here are up to :-) I had a cancellation this afternoon, so I decided to check in and read the blogs and share my give for today because I can't stop smiling about it!
One lovely young lady on the training course with me posted in the forums that she wouldn't be participating 'live' in the live classes (we also get recordings of them after) because she couldn't figure out… Continue

After 11 months of giving and learning and growing in awareness and kindness and patience and joy, I am about to embark on a new adventure. I will still be giving (a lot!) and be checking in on all the great 29Gifts energy, but I probably won't be blogging much for the next 10 weeks.
I was delighted to learn recently that I have been given a full scholarship to participate in a Creative Coaching Program that I longed to attend. It is a fabulous opportunity… Continue

On Sunday we learned that our good friend Andy, my goddaughter's father, who has been fighting a really fast and nasty lymphoma with everything in the book and some things that are not, has had a major recurrence of tumors in a new location. This was after 12 very positive weeks following a stem cells transplant. We are all devastated and I am feeling so helpless being on the other side of the world. So I have been sending energy and emails to the family and especially to my almost 14 year old… Continue
