These past few days have been about the small gives. Ive begun to realise that i often give without noticing that i do so, so ive been really focusing on the small acts of kindness which make a big difference, even though it might not seem like it at the time.
On day 11 i went to the gym at 6.30, and even though alot of people there were quite sleepy, i made sure i gave them all an encourgaing smile whilst i saw them exercising at the gym. I also helped out a uni friend… Continue

didnt realise it had been so long since i had last written! Going back to university on sunday has made me really busy :)
Ok,
day five was spent with my family as i was leaving to go back to uni in a few days time. It was really nice giving my time to all of my family. I also gave a bag of toffee to a lady selling the big issue ( a magazine in the UK that homeless people sell). It was really rewarding to see her smile.

I've had such a lovely time the past few days giving.
On day two i decided to buy some chocolates for a neighbour who has a disabled son which often leaves her exhausted. I woke up early and left them on her frontdoor with a small anonymous note attached wishing her a lovely day. I also wrote to one of my friends who's away at university at the moment, stressing about her forthcoming exams.
On my third day i travelled three hours south on the train to visit my… Continue

Well, i woke up this morning and was really excited at the prospect of starting the challenge.
I had to go to the dentist in the morning, and noted how miserable everyone looked due to the rain, so i started to smile at everyone i saw. When i bought items from shops, i always wished the cashier a lovely day, and the smile that this created on their face made my day even lovelier :)

Great to hear from you too. I'm really enjoying this site. It gives a different perspective on things. I think I want to keep doing it for a long time. I'm really keen to start busking. Not working at the moment so its really good to be able to have time to focus on this. I think your doing really well to do all your kindnesses and study.
Best Sally

A great big "Hey!" from Woodstock, Ga, USA! I am so happy we have so many givers from all over the world! Thanks for joining at such an exciting time! I am on the 10th day in my 8th round of 29 days! I hope you have the wonderful experience here that I have!
Let me know if you need any help!
We did a "give" in Atlanta a few months ago and gave away 100 roses on a sidewalk, it was 9 members from the metro ATL area, we started a "local" group, and you can start or join one too!
Make friends, read blogs, write blogs and leave other folks comments! Post pics and videos, join inner groups and GIVE! Have fun and watch for miracles to happen in your life when you do 29 in 29! Hope to see you around in the site!
