Days 1,2 and 3 of Giving
I just finished reading Cami Walker's book last Thursday, 11/5, and signed up that morning. I am not accustomed to talking about my giving so writing about specifics is a bit difficult for me. But here goes....
On Friday, November 6, 2009, my first gift was to my friend, Brenda, who was visiting from Atlanta. I gave her a patent leather animal print pda case. I had recently received it myself but as I don't have a pda, it made a perfect pass along for my first gift.
On day 2, I fixed a real Southern fried chicken dinner for Brenda and her husband complete with fresh chicken soaked in buttermilk, real mashed potatoes, real blueberry muffins and coleslaw. Yummy!!! Also on day 2, I purchased a $2 toy for a young boy in line in front of me @ Target.
On day 3, I had to run into Publix for an item. They were giving away taste samples of cherry pie so I brought a sample back to the car for my husband.
The part I love about this is the "mindful" giving. I can't see giving anything if one's heart and intent is not engaged.
