SandyL replied to Cami Walker -- 29Gifts Founder's discussion 'Great Giveaway: Personal Medicine Necklace'
Hi,
I would love to comment on the 29 Day Giving Challenge and on the beautiful necklace which I would be honored to wear. The 29 Day Giving Challenge did so much for me during times when I really needed to focus on someone else besides myself. When…

CONTINUING MY GIVING
Hi,I finished the 29 Day Challenge about a week ago and decided that since I would be out of town during holidays I would sign up when I returned. However, the spirit of giving each day seems to be contagious and I have continued this giving without even realizing it. During this last week I have done the following:1. Took gifts to my doctor, the nurse I work with on my treatment and her office.2. Took a gift to another doctor I see.3. Gave to the Salvation Army bell ringer again.4. Sent a…See More

4TH WEEK
Hi all,I am now in my last week of my first 29 day Challenge and loving it more all the time. It is truly a GIFT to me in keeping my thoughts focused off of my illness and on others who I can give to. It is the most wonderful thing. I have many things just piling up that I can do for others. Although I will be out of town during the holidays, I may not be able to continue with some of my gifting during that whole time - I plan to continue as much as I can and sign up for a new 29 Day Challenge…See More

SECOND WEEK
This week has been just as amazing as the first week. I can't believe the opportunities tht seem to just drop right in front of me!!! I can hardly keep up with them and that is why I am posting once a week on my blog. I think that perhaps I wasn't aware of things before - don't know - but I am thankful.This week's giving:1. My good friend lost all the meat in her freezer when her refrigerator didn't work. I went to the grocery store and bought a gift card and sent it to her.2. Gave money to the…See More

SandyL commented on Denisehyeong's blog post 'Day Six, giving and getting, more giving and getting . . . . more giving and getting . . . . more giving and getting . . . . more giving and getting . . . .'
Denise - I know what you mean. I got involved in this after seeing Cami's interview and then ordering and reading her book and looking over the website. The fact that gifts ideas just keep showing up in front of me is amazing and I don't…
Denisehyeong commented on SandyL's blog post 'FIRST WEEK'
My post is just below yours Sandy, I truly feel as if I have received way more than I gave this week. I too am experiencing gifts given to me that I did not anticipate, it's a transformative feeling!
FIRST WEEK
The first week of the 29-Day Giving Challenge has been wonderful for me. It seems that things are coming to me that I can do without me even looking. I find that amazing and wonder if I just wasn't aware before. Anyway in the first week I did the following:1. Put postage on a letter that was being returned to a neighbor and ended up in my mail box - so I added it and took it to the post office.2. Gave donation to a friend's benefit for victims ot typhoon in the Philippines.Mailed card to 5 year…See More
