Thanks to Kenya over at be well {groomed!} for alerting me to this awesome little community experience. The 29-Day Giving Challenge is pretty self explanatory: You give one thing a day away for 29 days. It doesn't have to be stuff. It can be time, compliments, money...you name it.
A reader once mentioned the "gift economy." I think this is a perfect step in that direction. In this difficult economy, where the messages of fear and scarcity scream at us from every media outlet, community movements like this are all the more important. I'm excited to see how my attitude changes as a result of taking the time each day to focus on giving. I hope you'll join me on this adventure! My handle on the site is, oddly enough, ConsciouslyFrugal. Feel free to add me as a friend and share your story!

In mid-October, I participated in The 10-Day Give set up over at Christian Personal Finance (fyi, I'm an atheist). Here's a link to the summary of what I got up to, which you might find helpful when you're wracking your brain for an idea: http://moneymatekate.wordpress.com/2008/10/19/the-10-day-give-round-up/
hello giving friend!
good to have a pal in the *challenge* ... i'm thinking someone should also start a receiving challenge. that seems so much more difficult at times and would also cause focus on how much we are given throughout the day.
ok, gotta go lie down. out late last night. woozy.
luff ya!
