I had to start my 29 gifts challenge over today. I had kept forgetting about the challenge and then last minute deciding that something that I gave during the day could be considered a gift. I lost my momentum, so this is start-over day 1.

the gift to your boyfriend sounds lovely!
These were truly giving from the heart gifts and you did that well! Blessings for a relaxing evening and gr8 Thursday too :o)
In my opinion a gift is something we give - freely - and it is perfectly okay if someone asks for it!! Then we have the added benefit of knowing it is something they would like to receive!! I often adopt a family for Christmas and they ask for some…
Day 2. I had a busy day and forgot about the challenge until ~8 pm. My boyfriend came home from work and said "so what gift did you give today?" I said, "nothing yet". He said "My back is sore. You could give me a back massage!"
I told him that I d…

Day 1.
My gift today was to stick with my friend during a 10k running race. This was the first time that either of us had attempted to run this distance and we weren't sure that we would be able to make it to the end. I usually have a slightly faster pace than her, but I decided that I would run at her pace to support her until the end. We made it!!!

Emergency Heart Surgery

This gift is a good place to re-start. I have created a website to collect donations for my 23 year old cousin who needs emergency heart surgery and doesn't have any health insurance to cover it.

Day 2-3
Day 2. I had a busy day and forgot about the challenge until ~8 pm. My boyfriend came home from work and said "so what gift did you give today?" I said, "nothing yet". He said "My back is sore. You could give me a back massage!"
I told him that I didn't think that would count since he had requested it, but I said that I would give him one anyway. I decided that my gift would be to make the massage really special. I got out our foldup massage table, got some candles, put on some relaxing music,… Continue

Way to go on the 10k ... and nice that you stayed with your friend throughout it.
Here's the Welcome Message:
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.
