29-Day Giving Challenge

Day One: A welcome bouquet & full moon

Day one Tuesday December 1st 2009 : I learned about this challenge before going to the doctor's office after dealing with some health issues. I decided to give a homeless person some change, another person some change. I live in Los Angeles and the homeless population is obviously everywhere, especially in downtown. I am constantly giving change and dollar bills that it has become so common. I needed something more mindful. My roommate had texted me about meeting for our Artist's Way program that we have been working on together and at that moment i realized what my gift was. I am always buying flowers every week for the house, but never for anyone specific. maybe more for my self. But my roommate was with family for thanksgiving and this would be the first day i was going to see her from her return home. She was distraught from her vacation because her family is a little rough so she was having a hard time. The flowers really delighted her as we continued on our program. That night I also realized that it was a full moon. The universe was definitely giving us some beauty that evening.
