Toye commented on Barb's blog post 'Day 14 - Magazines'

Footnote: By recycled, I really meant passing them on to others to enjoy, and they can pass on to others, and so on and so on

Wendy Jo, I love your idea of giving Valentine's Day cards to your special friends. I, too, remember loving Valentine'sDay when I was in school.

Days 27 and 28 - Round 3 - Cart Swapping and Sweet Basil

Thursday as I pulled into a parking spot at Home Depot, an older lady was arriving at her car with her purchases. As I got out of my car, she offered her cart to me (a gift to me) and I offered to help her place her plants and other items in her car…

Day 26 - Round 3 - Orchid Food

I've been doing some early "Spring" cleaning and came across two full containers of orchid food. I have somewhat of a green thumb, but my friend has green fingers! I have not had good luck with orchids, maybe because my orchid food containers were s…

Day 3 - Round 4 - Hold the Door

Just wanted to post a quick blog before calling it a night! I didn't know what today's gifts would be, but as frequently happens, they just present themselves. I was in line at Einstein's Bagels. There was a lady in front of me and another lady behind me. The one in front turned around and was talking to the one behind me. I asked if they were together and they were, so I told the one behind me to please go ahead of me and join her friend. It was such a little thing, but I could tell they really… Continue

Day 2 - Round 4 - Undivided Attention

My daughter is nearing completion of her Master's Degree at UF and today was her mid-term presentation for her research project. This is a really big deal for her and she has been working very hard and burning the midnight oil! I have a bad habit of multi tasking when I'm doing just about anything, but today when I called to find out how her presentation went, I turned off the TV, closed the computer and made a conscientious effort to give her my undividied attention. Everything went extremely w… Continue

Day 1 - Round 4 - Smooth Sliding

My home is a duplex and I'm close friends with my neighbor who owns the other side. Over the years, our sliding glass doors to the patio and back yard have become incredibly difficult (almost impossible) to open!! A friend of mine brought a special lubricating spray for aluminum over to my house a week or so ago and now my door glides so smoothly. This was a wonderful gift to me, as I just about pulled my back out every time I tried to open the door. Yesterday, I asked if he could bring his "

Day 29 - End of Round 3

Wow! It is just amazing how fast the 29 days go! It was late afternoon on Saturday and I had not given my gift yet. As I'm driving home, I see a homeless lady on the other side of the street with a grocery cart filled with all her belongings (well, actually, I don't know what it was filled with). She was standing behind the cart with a blanket over her head. I keep a lunch bag in my car for opportunities like this. I made a "U-y" as soon as I was able and parked near the lady. I walked up to her… Continue

At 3:50pm on November 29, 2009, Keri Brenner said…: Thank you Toye for perfectly manifesting all my lifelong fears about putting myself out there in the world for the first time ever and being criticized, humiliated, chastised, judged and put down. It is totally brilliant, no kidding. Perfect! A great gift that gives me great chuckles about the irony of life! It's wonderful transformative material for this time of great changes. Thanks-- I mean it.

Michelle commented on Michelle's blog post 'Day 9 Round 1'

Oh, and I also gave a tip even though I had food to go. I wasn't going to leave it but then changed my mind and went back in to give it to the waitress since the homeless lady outside whom I was going to give it to had already left.

Day 9 Round 1

My relationship continues to be in crisis and I continue to spiral down. However, I manage to find little ways of giving and these make me if not happy at least satisfied. Today I cleaned out the refrigerator as I had promised my roommates I would d…
