tigereyes11 commented on Jane's blog post Day 14 -I tell myself, "up to now they probably just think I’m a nun, but they’ll surely lock me away for this one....""That was hysterical and great all at once. Go you. :-) I have to do something like that now!"

My Days of Giving....
Day 1
This has weirdly helped me realize just what I DO give already and the fact that I want to give has ALREADY given me more chances to give. This is fun.
a) Donuts to the kids I work with
b) Listening to a friend in need...time...precious time I needed to do other work but she was in crisis
c) I already promised to give a friend the Game 'Taboo' I never really used and she needs new games for her and her kids during the holidays. That's also -- good for the earth...recycling and not wasting away in my closet.
d) This then made me realize I want to get rid of clothes I don't need...but I am going to wait to give it in a few days cause I already have tomorrow covered. I guess more than 1 gift per day is OK. LOL.
Day 2
I gave the Taboo game to my friend.
I listened to the same friend in need.
I would have done both if I was not doing this challenge...so does it count?? I still think yes.
Day 3
Helped my sister with an english to spanish translation. I think I am attracting people who need help because my sister never asks for help with her work stuff.
Cleaned my boyfriend's disgusting bathroom...yet again...I just could not take it anymore and had to clean his shower when I saw signs of mold so I would have done it anyway...so does it count? I don't know but I did it so I consider it 1/4 giving. Ha!
I'm sure there will be more things by the end of the day. I also think this exercise is teaching me more about how much giving I actually do everyday. I never realized it.
Yesterday -- I gave my old Self magazine to my landlords...we share magazines and I gave two magazines to my office waiting room.

Oops on posting my stuff on my page and then a status update. Oh well...and I am a computer person...I think?
OK Day 7 -- unloaded the dish washer and loaded dishwasher and washed dishes for my Mom. Again -- not sure if that is really giving but I'll document it.
Day something? I gave $30 to a person in my community who needs funds to help deal with paying for bills because he has Cancer and can't afford to pay for everything with everything going on...

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.
