TiaSparkle's 29 Days of Giving - Days 10 till 19

Day 10 & 11 - Did something but can't remember what. Will be back to update when I remember. Thank goodness I started #29gifts on twitter so I can keep track of all my gifts when it's time to blog, hehehe :D Day 12 At the supermarket, complimented little old lady on her jacket & spoke to her for a min, she says "THANK you, you made my day, I was going to give this jacket to Sallies but kept it and I'm glad I did". I got a bit teary eyed at how happy she was. Day 13 Finall… Continue

TiaSparkle's 29 Days of Giving - Days 3 till 9

Day 3 I helped some family members move into their new apartment, shifting, unpacking and going out to dinner, giving most of my Tuesday to them. Also gave a sweet birthday card to my sis in law and thirdly, I picked something that is a real challenge to me, staying positive and non judgmental about someone I know and their negativity. I failed a few times during the day but 80% of the time I gave the the gift of "curiosity" rather than my normal "what's your problem" response. The evenin… Continue

TiaSparkle's 29 Days of Giving - Day 2

I've been so excited all day to post this blog :) Last night I heard that someone I sorta kinda know needed $500 towards expenses so I thought about how I could help and suddenly got the idea to start an online fundraising effort for her. Did that this morning and asked some common friends if they wanted to help as well. I'm SO elated to report that OVER 20 people have decided to take part in this, putting in $10 each (I just put mine in). I LOVE how awesome these people are and how they are ba… Continue

TiaSparkle's 29 Days of Giving - Day 1

I couldn't decide what to pick for my first day. My twitter friends Jeannette, Emiko, Susan, Nikki and I started the 29 days gift project today. I signed up a year ago and did one day on August 12th 2008 and then never came back. Today, I'm making a commitment to give for 29 days. My first gift is something I have thought about doing for YEARS. Over 15+ years as a matter of fact. I don't know why I haven't so far but today, I sponsored a 5 year old child from Zimbabwe for $40 a month. His name… Continue

Carylina replied to genuine's discussion 'If Only I Knew What To Ask For ...' in the group what can I do for you today?
Dear Genuine Like you I struggle sometimes with feeling peaceful especially when many 'big' events came in a month for me. I follow Conversations with God wisdom and it tells me to simply decide to be peaceful and happy. Easier said than done but we…

what can I do for you today?
Anyone can feel free to post something that they would like someone to gift to them. It can be as simple as a letter of support to a loved one or as large as a an actual present!

Great that you were able to respond lovingly, would have been easy to have been triggered to a negative. Proud of you!!

I find the same thing because it is often what I would do anyway. I think it is the conscious intention to give which is very important. I find it somewhat challenging because I am in a new country and know so few people and am retired as well. Keep…
