DAY 1: Starting Over
Today, I made the commitment to be a conscious giver. I am generous by nature. I love sharing information, resources and inspiration with people, but today I decided to step it up. It's funny because you don't know what you have until you see what you can give. There was an old 12 step saying, or at least I think it came from there: You cant' keep it unless you give it away. And something about that feels true. You anchor your own generosity or your own knowing when you share it. It's an interesting process.
Anyway, I do it these next 29 days in play, to step it up for myself. To commit to my own largess and know my own abundance.
Day 1: Today, I left a prayer on a friends voicemail. She is going in for surgery and I left her with tips on how to ritualize this healing so that it spread beyond the intended purpose. In leaving the prayer, I felt more full of God. And knew the same truths I left with her, for myself.

- Hi, Sonya
How are you doing? I've lost the art of mindful giving and have missed the joy it brought me. I'm starting afresh on a sunny day. Love, laughter and light to you and yours.

- Sonya, great to hear back from you. I know that I'm going to be missing for a couple of months because I just won't have internet access. I hope that you'll find the sun shining on you, the hands of friendship supporting you and love all around you. May your stories inspire us.

- Hi, Sonya. I took the challenge up in November and whilst I have lost focus at times and not given with full awareness I am still with it. I’m on a bit of a “mission” now and I'm exploring the site looking at other people’s experiences. I see you signed up last spring but haven’t blogged since. Have you any tales to tell about how it went for you? I’m sure that I’m not the only one who’d like to hear.
