I believe that the things you need come to you when you need them the most, and Cami's "29-Day Giving Challenge" is no exception.

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- It's instinctive and already a part of my daily life. I love the discipline of re-committing through the 29-day program, and am looking forward to sharing it.
Much of my current giving is in the form of social investing through http://Kiva.org http://Givology.org http://Vittana.org and hands-on action through http://www.change.org/profiles/suebraiden
Looking forward to this new way of giving through 29 days and beyond.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Simplicity. A greater sense of connectedness. A path to the right life : )
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?

Harriet, this is just a brilliant gift! When I first moved to where I live in now, a lovely woman came to my door with a cake to welcome me to the neighbourhood, along with a lovely, handwritten letter, words of encouragement and her phone number…
