Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I read Cami's book and was very inspired by all of the similarities between her story and my own! I already enjoy giving but I would like to practice giving in new and creative ways and bring even more consciousness into my giving, where it is coming from and how it makes me feel. I always invite positivity into my life and this gives me another opportunity and gives that same opportunity to others as we give, giving just keeps on giving.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- Personal growth and to help continue the spread of a positive movement. To give with no attachments what so ever. Also to bring more happiness and joy to my own life.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- I think maybe the Today show? I don't remember, as soon as I hear about an interesting book I write it down for when I find myself at a bookstore.
- About me:
- I have suffered chronic back pain since a car accident, which I had surgery to fix, when I was only 17 years old. I was doing okay after but I re-injured the same spot being young and invinsable, and not knowing much about anatomy, and it has been a very long path to get where I am today including surgeries and many procedures. I have always been a positive person but when doctor and specialists told me that I would "have to learn to live with this chronic pain for the rest of my life" I felt hopeless. I finally accepted it and went to support groups and went to alternative medicine. I'm happy to say that now my pain level and daily activity is drastically better! I'm always looking to spread love, joy and laughter to others and giving is just a great way!
