What a beautiful idea, love prayers and a card on the way!

Help with Meditation

No problem Mary. I think you'll get a out of Zinn's book. It's older and could use some editing but he really offers some profound insight. I suffer nerve damage too and the mindfulness stuff helped…

Help with Meditation

Great suggestions here and I'm sure Denise you'll be on your way in no time to a fulfilling meditation practice. I've been doing it on and off for years and I can tell you without a doubt that it's c…

After unloading my cart the other day at Henry's, I asked a girl who was swiftly walking towards the store if she'd like to use my cart. She hurriedly said "no thanks," then paused and walked back to me saying, "Oh yes, I really could use the cart,…

Hey LuckieGirl, thanks for your comment. To clarify I didn't mean it's discouraging for me to consciously plan out my giving and blog about it, although this has the potential to reduce the goodness to just a task to be completed. It was more a refl…

Tricia! I think you hit on what a lot of us struggle with: Trying to remember to give with awareness almost seems forced, and then to write about it for the whole world, or at least the members of the site, to see really feels like it's defeating th…

Glad you are feeling better. Your give was perfect! Shelters need all the food donations they can get right now. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well ;-)

Triciabee commented on Texasgiver's blog post 'Not feeling it'
Lotusgirl is so right about the "awareness" thing. Just the fact that you're in touch with your emotions instead of just coasting through the day on autopilot is a step up. After you start focusing on giving, you'll soon experience a shift in thinki…

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I'm WAY too focused on me and feel that I've only been feeding the negative aspects in my life by concentrating so hard on them. I think what Cami's doing makes a lot of sense so I'm giving it a try!
What I'd most like to receive:
A shift in attitude away from myself.

What Goes Around Rolls Around

Just after I parked my car today at the grocery market (there seems to be a running theme with me and groceries, don't know what that's all about....), I noticed a man who had just unloaded his bags and was getting ready to wheel his cart back when I offered to take it for him. He was so surprised as that NEVER happens at this particular store. The funny thing is on the way back to my car a woman did the same thing to me and offered to bring my cart back!

Day Whatever

I'm about two weeks in to my 29 Day Challenge and I realize that I'm not as motivated to do a specific act of giving every day and then blog about it. It's a little discouraging but on the flip side it's also kind of cool because I'm giving things without realizing it; as opposed to giving being a task I should complete each day. It's becoming more part of my automatic nature no matter what the calendar says. Like yesterday I let a guy with fewer grocery items than me go first without thinking a… Continue

An Easy One, But It Still Counts

I've been down with a stomach flu for a couple of days and didn't really have much opportunity for giving while holed up up on my couch. Today I finally ventured out to Henry's (a local food market) where they have these wonderful pre-packaged gift bags filled with various food items for area shelters. They couldn't make it any easier to give as all you had to do was pick the bag you want, ring it up at the register with your other items, and then drop it off in their food bin on the way out and… Continue

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!

Mary

Michelle commented on Michelle's blog post 'Day 9 Round 1'
Oh, and I also gave a tip even though I had food to go. I wasn't going to leave it but then changed my mind and went back in to give it to the waitress since the homeless lady outside whom I was going to give it to had already left.
