This is wonderful! You might want to get a copy of The Artist's Way. It's a wonderful book that shows us how to get back in touch with our artistic selves and get past our fears and blocks about whatever our art is--writing, painting,…

Days 2 & 3

There is a Dunkin Donuts on the way to work, and while the coffee and donuts are awesome, pulling back out onto the road is not!. The traffic on the main road is completely unforgiving and you could be stuck there for a good ten minutes trying to get out of the parking lot. Much to the chargrin of the motorists behind me, I stopped and let a lady pull out and be on her way. The relief on her face was priceless and it was my little gift for the day.Today, I'm trying something way out of my…See More

It's great that you chose to help him out! It must be harder to reach out to "those" kind of people but, aren't they usually the ones who could use the help most? Keep trying -- I'm sure it will be remembered! =)

My First Day in the 29 Day Giving Challenge

Today was my first try to the 29 day challenge,and, I admit, I was feeling far from generous this morning. I am in the middle of an MS flare up and was not looking forward to the day ahead. As I dragged myself downstairs to retrieve my daughter's favorite pair of jeans from the dryer yet again, I noticed a strange glint on the ground. Bending down, I noticed it was my high school class ring which my eleven year old daughter, Leah, had admired in the past. I'm not sure how it found its way to my…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I need to stop focusing on my Multiple Sclerosis and remember to reach out to others.
What I'd most like to receive:
A renewed sense of hope, community, and happiness. A stronger sense of self esteem and confidence to set out and achieve my life long dream of freelance writing.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I read about Cami's book and bought it.
About me:
I'm a happily married 39 year old mom of two girls . I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis one year ago this month and, before that, I was a natural giver. Nothing made me happier than to give joy to those around me. Since the diagnosis, I find myself more focused on the "bad" and "wrong" side of things and worry much more than I used to. I would like to find the old giving me and find the courage to pursue a writing career.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes
