Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I believe that when we try to meet the needs of others, a need in ourselves is met. It binds us together in ways that are not easily explained. When we become a link in the chain, we are all affected in a positive & strengthening way.
What I'd most like to receive:
Peace & excitement. Total opposites, I know...but the peace of knowing I am making a difference, and the excitement of realizing that we ALL have the power to be the difference.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
read the book about a year ago
About me:
I live in a small town with my husband & 2 daughters. I am often frustrated at seeing the senseless struggle between the haves & the have-nots in a town this size....enough complaining about it, though...I want to blaze a trail of kindness & understanding in this place. My mantra is, "do what you can, when you can, where you are, with what you have."
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

(We paid for a weekend of training sessions with a teacher, but other than that, there's nothing to it!)
There is info oniine. It sounds way too good to be true, but I promise it IS true!

Ok. This is more or less to keep track of myself and to bounce ideas around. I have already forgotten to give a gift one day! Is that even possible so soon?? Anyhow, I began on Jan 31, so there was the letter; coats to the shelter; a happy birthday email to a friend who lives in Hong Kong; and then, on day4, I forget?!? So to make up for that, I paid for the car behind me at the drive-thru this morning. I love to do that! (But it's a good idea to glance back and make sure it's not a van full…

starting out!

Wahoo! Finally figuring this kindle thing out...NOW I can get started. I read 29 Gifts a year or so ago & stumbled upon the website recently. Glad I did! I started with a whopper, but something that's been weighing on me for a long time. My best friend was murdered 27 years ago & I finally got the nerve to find her killer where he's serving time and I sent him a letter FORGIVING him!! I feel so relieved! I hope he receives it and accepts it so that it makes a difference in his life.…
