29-Day Giving Challenge

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 evening turned out rather well and I'm happy with my gift, whether they realise it or not :)

Day 4
Today I sent my 3 best friends from school a short message thanking them for being in my life. They are my besties, almost like sisters so we call each other fribblings (friends + siblings). It's been a few weeks since we were in touch so I just reached out to let them know I love them. :)

Day 5
Signed up for $10 monthly donation to Red Cross thanks to sweet girl outside bookstore

Day 6
Wedding gift of beautiful green bowls for my friend. I was going to give cash then decided a hand picked gift would carry more meaning. Attended her wedding and had an awesome time! Talked about 29gifts.org with people that I me there and shared my vision of wanting to empower children through coaching.

Day 7
Can't remember what I did today...

Day 8
Did the dishes for my sister in law after she cooked us a delish meal.

Day 9
Bought donuts for my mom, brother and sis in law

Thank you Elly and Diahann! This was a real lesson in gifting for me (gifting non judgement) and I hope to carry it on further. The gift of time, yes that one's a real biggie that we tend to forget :)

Helping with a move, huge give. Remembering you sister-in-law on her birthday is a great give. I love that you were so successful staying positive and non judgmental. Great job giving today.
