Came across a remarkable article today, Giving Something Each Day May Keep the Doctor Away. The piece is about the origins of the website (and challenge), 29gifts.org. It's a noble effort and a good reminder of what's important in life, especially in this age of Consumerism. Check it out, I think it will put a smile on your face (which is my official gift on the first day of my taking up the challenge.)
This comes at a particularly synchronistic time for me. I am headed to Burning Man this weekend, to experience that mad atmosphere of engaged participation and gifting economy once again. Almost feels like cheating since, for at least ten of the days of this challenge for me, I will have no choice but to give things away every day, and likely many times a day.
Cheers!
