Some thoughts on the first 10 days..When I think of giving I think of being in the moment to some idea needing to come forth into this world. Yet, I know this means the littlest thing may have more value that you know. It might be the phone call that makes a friends day go from bad to good or a hand with someones car door when the wind is blowing hard. (This is not to bash the longer range planned... giving) . Kindness is a way of thinking that this Challenge helps you assume. As it becomes…See More

Day FOUR I have some friends who love jelly/jam in the morning on their toast. I bought them a delicious organic superfruit spread by Crofters in Canada.

It is fun to give a friend something so delicious that they will appreciate. the idea just came to me as I was buying some for myself.
Day FIVE was…

For day three I gave myself a big gift. My grand daughter lives with me and has a kidney disease. (Nephrotic Syndrome/MC.Some days she is not well enough to go to…

She was delighted to get the book and I know at some point she will join this group.
I also received a wonderful gift today when I was talking about the…
