Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
To spread happiness and the virtue of sharing.
What I'd most like to receive:
Nothing.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
The New York Times story
About me:
The newspaper story was so inspirational that I decided to follow up and sign up to be a participating member.
I am a giving person by nature and have tried my best to give each day without keeping a record. But this 29 day challenge will inspire me to go beyond my habit and maybe give more. I hope my giving will make the receiver better in some way and in turn, maybe I will get some blessings or some good luck in my daily endeavours.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same. ~ C.C.
