Simone commented on Lotusgirl's blog post 'How To Help The Homeless'
Apart from giving money, food or clothing, I think it would be a great gift to just be present with the person. Last year, I had a long conversation with a homeless man in front of a Peet's coffee house. He was asking for money (which I gave…

Day Two

Today I decided to surprise my neighbor with a few greeting cards I made using photographs I took last winter. She loves to write, so I knew she would enjoy them. It felt great to see her reaction.See More

It is so difficult to loose a loved one. I hope that you will eventually find yourself peaceful and at ease. You are a continuation of your grandmother. She is still with you. We look toward each other no longer From the old distance of our…

Congrats on Day 1! I've recently read quite a bit about KIVA, so I'm looking forward to that being one of my "giftings" in the next 27 days (I'm 2 days in).

Day One

Today is a great day for giving! Through KIVA I just gave a loan to a woman in Peru. She will invest this money in her fish selling business and hopefully, slowly but surely, better her situation. I am convinced these micro-loans are very empowering. People are given a chance to help themselves, which in turn helps their family, which helps their community, and so on ...What a miracle it is to be alive!See More

Day Four

Posted on December 5, 2009 at 6:00pm 1 Comment

This morning I had my carpet cleaned and decided to give the cleaner some of my photo cards. He was very surprised and seemed to like them. In the afternoon, I ran to the grocery store to get some ingredients for the Christmas cookies I intend to bake tomorrow. In the produce department, a man in a wheelchair had problems getting a plastic bag for his vegetables, so I helped him with that. I hope I made life a little easier for him. It was nice to see that other people also gave him a… Continue

Day Three

This has been a quiet day. I called a friend and cheered her up a little, I ran an errand for my husband and I returned a shopping cart for an older lady in the grocery store parking lot.

Welcome to 29 Gifts! I'm so glad you decided to join us.

Enjoy your 29 Days and don't forget to share some stories to help inspire others. If you need help posting in your Personal Giving Blog, follow these directions.

Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. We're striving to reach our goal of 29,000 committed givers, and you can help: Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.

The book 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life - authored by 29 Gifts founder Cami Walker is now in stores. You can also buy through Amazon.

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.
