I have finally begun the 29-Day Giving Challenge, a movement to “give one thing away each day for 29 days.” I first read about this in a blog post by Britt Bravo and was intrigued, but for some reason was ‘waiting’ to be motivated to begin.
Why wait?
So today I gave a book on wedding vows and traditions that I bought for my own wedding to a friend who recently got engaged. I had thought of keeping the book for… kids? Posterity? It was definitely more fun giving it to my friend. (She hasn’t seen it yet- she happens to be a coworker and was not in the office today; I think she’ll see it tomorrow. Leaving it for her was fun anyway.)
So, nothing profound to report, but that was my Day 1.
