"That is such a fantastic gift! In my life (as in everyone else's, I'm sure) I can't even count the number of times I have gone to a vending machine only to find I have nothing in my pocket. I think these little things can sometimes be…"

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
Like Cami, I was diagnosed with MS about two and a half years ago - and while I am certainly not a 'worst-case scenario', I have been facing more and more challenges on a daily basis. As a result, I have never in my life felt like such an unproductive member of society. When I read about the 29-Day Giving Challenge, it just spoke to me...
What I'd most like to receive:
I certainly don't expect that this journey will solve all of my problems, and I hadn't thought about it in terms of 'what I'd like to receive'...I'm literally doing it for the good of my health.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I followed a link from another site (can't remember which)
About me:
I think I covered that in the 'why I'm chosing to give' section. Well, I guess there's more to me than 'my disease' - but right now, it is most definitely at the forefront....
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes

First of all, thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome - this is truly beautiful and wonderful place to be!

That being said, I wasn't quite sure what my gift was going to be for this first day. On my way out the door, I looked through my purse for my car keys and came across a Starbucks gift card that has been there since Christmas - a well intentioned gift, but one I knew would go to waste. My travels took me past the only Starbucks in my small town. I went inside and…

Today is the first day of the rest of my life...

Today is day one of the giving challenge. I signed up last week, with the intention of beginning the challenge on March 1st. Lying in bed this morning, I meditated on how I am going to live my life today, with gratitude and love - and I rose feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. I haven't decided quite yet what my give will be today, but it will come to me when the time is right

Have a wonderful day all!
