I also am very hard on myself. I can't look into the mirror and tell myself I'm worth anything - usually it is just the opposite. What a gift to yourself - to be able to look into the mirror and say 'I love you. You are worthy. You are good. All is…

LETTING MYSELF BE A GIRL

MOST OF THE TIME I RIDE MY BIKE AND I START TO FEEL A LITTLE DOWN ON MYSELF BECAUSE I SEE ALL THESE GIRLS DRESSED UP GOING TO WORK SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO YESTERDAY I TOOK THE BUS AND DRESSED UP A LITTLE. IT FEELS GOOD TO LET MYSELF BE A GIRL.

supporting laughter

My friend is a comedian and he does a very late show and not a lot of people show up and I went to support him and went to another show he did at another venue. I don't have a car so sometimes I can talk myself out of going places because "it's too late" or "I won't have a ride back" but with a little preparation and asking for help where there is a will there is a way. I enjoyed seeing my friend and supporting his cause.

sometimes its noticing

We have a security guard in the building I work in and she is there everymorning I arrive at 6 am on my bike always with a smile. I work in beverly hills and needless to say a lot of people are a bit "focused" on themselves. Anyway, I sometimes toss a couple words back and forth with her. She told me she's going on maternity leave soon and today is my last day at work they fired me so. I brought a note letting her know how much I appreciate her smiles in the morning and that I hope she has a hea… Continue

Welcome to 29 Gifts! So glad you decided to join us.

Enjoy your 29 Days & 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, & you can help: Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge & 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 & impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s & 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 & her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month & 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.
