Yikes! I've been giving...but forgetting to blog about it.
I've been in the hospital with kidney stones and this morning, I shared a room with an old woman who clearly did not have long to live. I gave her kindness and comfort and though she couldn't speak, I knew she appreciated it.

Day #4.

Today, I gave money to an artist who suffered a brain injury some years ago. The money goes toward helping him, his wife and children. The thing is that I read the request for money made by someone who was really awful to me...told a lot of lies about me, tried to smear my reputation in the arts community. This was my way of channeling some of the negative energy that I feel toward that person into something positive.
Day #3.

Today, I gave encouragement to a friend who had a bad experience at her last job and who has been struggling to get back on her feet again. She is a very talented artist, and I gave of my time to print a promotional ad for her work and to publicly post about it to alert others of her talent.
I also gave my little dog, Taddy, (age 15) a good massage. He is getting feeble and is experiencing some confusion. The massage seemed to relax him considerably and now he is napping peacefully.

I began the challenge yesterday.
Yesterday, I gave my son the promise of a car for his birthday. This will help him tremendously in school and with his new job. It will be a big of a financial sacrifice for us, but he is worth it, and I feel it will help him accomplish some of the goals that he needs and wants to accomplish at this point in his life.
