Starting over - days one and two

Somehow one day, then another passed when I didn't consciously practice gift giving. So I decided yesterday to begin again. I gave my friend Gretchen the book "29 Gifts" because she had expressed an interest in it. Today I have written two cards to employees expressing my gratitude for them. See More

jemitchell commented on TrishV's blog post 'Struggling with Openness versus Anonymity'

I have struggled with the same question. I've come to think that it's not an either/or answer. I still practice giving anonymous gifts. However, I agree with others that that have responded here - sharing daily gifts…

Day 7

Yesterday my gift was to buy dinner for a good friend. The gift I received in return was my debit card. I had left it at the restaurant. It was safely stored away for me until I could return for it!See More

Day 6

Yesterday was Day 6 of my giving challenge. My gift was an hour of undivided attention to a colleague as she shared some very painful events from her life and how she made a powerful recovery. This might have been more of a gift to me than to her, come to think of it! See More

Ann commented on jemitchell's blog post 'Day 5'

These were great gifts! I have found in my life that simple gestures that say "I am thinking of you", and "I care about you" can mean a great deal to the both the giver and the receiver. your nephew and co-workers are…

Day 5

I bought this cute book of post-it notes that have silly comments on them like "you're a superstar" or "here is your gold star". I randomly placed those on the staff meeting agendas today. This broke the ice before we got down to business! Tonight I helped my nephew put together his resume and apply for a job. Wish him luck!See More

It is best to help each other out along the way and be nice. Give where you see need, smile where you see sadness or disappointment, creating abundance one gift at a time. :) much like sundance....my life is my give away...hmmmmm. Thanks for inviting me! That was a gift in and to itself.

At 6:15pm on November 22, 2009, Sharon D-29 Gifts Ambassador said…: 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!

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