Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- At the risk of sounding snobbish, I've always been a giver. I give until I have nothing left and find a way to give again. However, it wasn't until I read 29 Gifts and joined this group that I found the error of my ways. I gave out of a sense of obligation and a yearning for acceptance and reciprocation. Since I began giving selflessly out of love and with deliberateness, I've never felt more joy....personally and in our home. It feeds me on so many levels now!
- What I'd most like to receive:
- The fuel to give all the more! Not that I expect that from my friends here. Based on prior experiences here, I completely anticipate my giving to generate it's own fuel to continue giving more! The greatest secret I've found here: Gift to myself daily, even on small and simple levels, generates the most powerful fuel to continue giving. It's a whole new level of the Oxygen Mask Theory.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- My dear friend picked up the book on a whim and blessed me with it. How appropriate that this gift was actually a gift to me!
- About me:
- I'm a 40 yr old child at heart on journey to bring more light, knowledge, and love into my heart and home. Some days I'm far more successful than others, but even the missteps bless me with added experience and knowledge....when I choose to accept it. :) BEing a part of this site has blessed me with some of the most amazing travel companions and I constantly stand in awe of the gift they are to my life.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes

Day 4 Setting Things Straight
Posted on May 24, 2012 at 7:00am 3 Comments 2 Likes
The closer we get to the end of the school year here, the more chaotic my days seem to become! Before I know it, they'll all be home for the summer and my quiet mornings and afternoon nap opportunities will be a thing of the past. On the other hand, the leisurely pace of summer will be a welcome break. Chances are I won't be needing the naps at all! We usually have a great time together during the summer months and I'm looking forward to those days immensely!…

I find I'm trying to give a trio of gifts every day; to myself, my family, and somewhere in my community. I rather like the way it's working for all of us! I hope I'm able to continue as I believe all three are important to building my own character (who can have enough?? lol) and sense of fulfillment.
So, my gifts yesterday included:
Community:
Stopped at a nursery today and had a whole wagon load of plants. The elderly couple behind me had…

Busy day so I'll *try* to make this a quickie. :)
COMMUNITY:
Yesterday was Day 2 and largely frustrating as far as giving goes. My BFF needed a ride to the airport. We usually do lunch or brunch at our favorite little nook prior to drop off. I planned on the ride and lunch being my treat. Instead, last minute she decided to drive herself (she discovered she might have the chance to come home early and doesn't want to be subject to other's schedules) and she paid…

Well, it will be a week on Monday since I finished my most recent round of 29 days. I think I forgot to blog it and now I forget exactly what I did. "Um, that's the whole purpose of blogging it, Dear Self!" lol I knew I wanted and needed to go about a new round, but have felt overwhelmed by life and present circumstances. At that point it hit me, that means I need it more now than ever! If there's one thing I've learned, it's the best way to get out of feeling depressed, overwhelmed,…

Charlie is not too sure he will enjoy his first boat ride...
This is OK! I love feeling the wind in my face!
Tired after my 1st swim, but the cool water felt sooooo good!
Ahhhh, this is the life....
I don't know much about boating, BUT is that a plane pulling in??????

Ann said… May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."

Namaste~ The light within me acknowledges the light within you..... I always thought this was a pretty word, but I learned it's meaning in my yoga class and thought how it says what I feel about my friends, so I say to you, "Namaste."

Kristie Alers said… lol, I had to laugh at your comment but not an "at you" but "with you" laugh. I too had lost my blog and gave up. It was a really well thought out and pouring of my soul kinda blog and I just felt so sad when it was lost. Then a thought came into my head and said, "Kristie, it just wasn't meant to be shared in that way" and so I just smiled and said ok, I will try again another day with a new angle. ;) Don't worry about not being able to post for my blog. I appreciate your support and love and words of wisdom for everything I ever write or share. You're the best! I love you!! xoxo
