You are so right about getting rid of STUFF. Glad you will be giving to charity.
Yes, I neglected this site for a while. It was one of my gifts to you, the dear public. A whole month of not listening to me ramble. :) In all seriousness, I didn't post anything because I was focusing my energy on the giving and not on the blogging…
:)
Welcome to this great adventure!! I applaud you for standing up against the rampant consumerism!! We all need a wake-up call to live within our means. Taking this 29-day giving challenge is a wonderful way to remind ourselves that the simple things…
This group is dedicated to discussing, brainstorming and advocating Giving Ideas that are green(er), sustainable--for People, Planet and Pocket--and fun.
It's my first day here. I found a link to this site buried in the news feed of my Facebook. That it caught my attention among the usual status updates and Farmtown requests is a minor miracle. But, here I am. This is a good site for me. I believe it…
Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I'm joining as a way to help myself overcome materialism. I think we've lost sight of many important things in this country. Each holiday season, I feel sadder because I see how much "stuff" means to people. A very wise person told me that we care too much about the stuff we get rather than the people we're giving to.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- :-)
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- About me:
- Loving life.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes

Still a tree.
Yes, I neglected this site for a while. It was one of my gifts to you, the dear public. A whole month of not listening to me ramble. :) In all seriousness, I didn't post anything because I was focusing my energy on the giving and not on the blogging. That, and I use my phone for the internet A LOT and this site was a bit of a pain in the butt for my meager phone (original EnV - total dinosaur) to handle.

It's Black Friday. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I loathe this day. I loathe what it stands for. I've been called out on my stance - was even called a communist AND a nazi the other day. I dislike the rabid consum… Continue

- Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.

Absolutely wonderful news! I'm very happy for you and your son. XOXO
For several years, I've taken my therapy dog to schools and libraries to work with kids. Since I already do this, I'm not counting taking Barley to our public library today as a gift. So, I made bookmarks for the kids who read to him out of scrapboo…
Lynne, that is wonderful you wrote to you cousins. It is easy to get out of touch with relatives who don't live near us. I know I have many all over the US that i have lost touch with. Also, gifting food is a favorite of mine. Yummy muffins sound gr…
I just found the coolest thing, pencils made from tires! Remember the yellow, #2 pencils you used in grade school? Well, the same company, Ticonderoga, has created a unique, patented process, to make pencils using the rubber compound from recycled…
i am so happy for you! i can' imagine what you have had to endure. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for reminding me about how prayers help.
Welcome to this site. It has helped me, and inspired me. I have had to take some time away or a while.. and am not sure when i will really be back. but Welcome. Giving (i had almost forgotten) is a wonderful way to feel better, and to be better. goo…
Kindness comes so quickly back to those who first are kind... words to live by... i will try to be nice tonight.
I was shocked as I said. It was a local library book club and even the librarian called the book whiny and greedy. It was interesting how people can put a nagative spin on anything. I definately learned so much about my own attitude and how it appea…
Today, I was given a gift from my mother. She sees that I'm extremely depressed and having a hard time with my motivation and my marriage. Five months ago, I quit my job and thought it would be easy to get a new one. Since the economy has taken a tu…
I was talking about giving with my son on the way home from cubs the other night. This week is "Good Turn" week. Each member of Scouting is given a "Good Turn" bracelet which they pass on when they do a good turn for someone. We discussed different…
