I challenged myself to try something new for the month of December. For those of you who remember my last post, I was inspired in November to record a list of everything that I was thankful for every single day. About halfway through the month, I read Cami Walker’s 29 Gifts- a book about a “giving challenge” that is supposed to “change your life.” I was a bit skeptic, but it was a book and I had plenty of time to read. So after reading it, I decided that I would try the challenge for the month of December.
The rules are pretty simple, you have to give a gift (this can be anything, ranging from money to compliments or simply your time) every single day for 29 days straight. You are encouraged to keep track of what you give, and if you miss a day you are supposed to restart. Since I am a volunteer, technically all of the things I do are considered donating my time…BUT I wanted to find other ways to give back to my community this month.
So without further ado… here is my list of “gifts” I gave for the giving challenge…
