29-Day Giving Challenge

I was introduced to the 29-Day Giving Challenge by a friend. After reading through her experiences with it, I've deided to get on board and start my own 29-Days of Giving. Day #1 will be on Saturday, January 31 and I will give something for each of the 28 days of February. I encourage you to check out the website to learn more, and to read some inspiring stories.

This 29-Day "ritual" is about progress, not perfection. I'm committing to give something every day. My gifts can be anything... tangible or intangible, food, old sweaters, smiles, my time, or even just kind words or thoughts. Each day, I will make time to sit quietly and reflect on my day and the act of giving. Specifically how the act of giving makes me feel, and the impact it may have on the recipient. If I can help bring a smile to someone's face or brighten someone's day, that is truly a gift in these rough times. Giving of any kind... taking an action... begins the process of change, and moves us to remember that we are part of a much greater universe.
