Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I give all of the time, but now I will do it consciously and keep track of what I give and when.
What I'd most like to receive:
Peace, happiness, to see other people happy, feel better about myself. I have chronic illnesses and chronic pain, so I'm hoping maybe these things will lessen a bit.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
Saw Cami on TV and then looked at the book at Borders
About me:
I'm a SAHM to one son. I've been married 14 years to a wonderful man. I have some health issues which result in chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. I always try to do my best to be involved in as much as possible and treat everyone I meet with respect and kindness.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

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

P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.

These stones are great. The type of things I love - the "sayings" are the best. I only wish we could purchase the stones. sincerely Rebecca J Karras

What a great gift! I would love to share these with my husband and have him keep them on his desk as a reminder of how much I care about him - we are so busy and don't get to spend as much time together as we'd like, but this would be a constant way…

Okay, so I had written out my Day 1, a pretty good size and promptly erased it! Maybe patience is one of the things I will get to learn in this process? Yesterday was day 1. I gave a gift to my x-husband. We have three boys together and have been d…
