The 29-Gifts Challenge

In the spirit of the Mission Possible theme of giving of our time, talents and treasure, I had a quick story to tell. Last weekend my son Aaron wanted to go to Borders Bookstore, which is always an expensive trip for me -- it is very almost impossible for me to leave without buying any books! On top of this, there was a sale.... so among the 4 books I got was one called "29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life."

This book was written by Cami Walker, a 33-year-old lady who was diagnosed with MS one month after her wedding. As a remedy for her condition, she received an uncommon prescription to give away 29 gifts in 29 days. The gifts could be anything but giving had to be authentic and mindful. At least one gift had to be something she felt was scarce in her life.

Keep posted to learn more about her story and mine as I take on this challenge to prepare for Mission Possible VII.
