Today I promise to myself and everyone, to give at least one thing to someone everyday. No matter how big or small, for a family member or a stranger, giving money, encouraging words, an ear to a friend, a smiler or even an item that I own. Im taking the challenge to give one kind, selfless gift once a day for the next 29 days.
I am a true believer that you only get back what you give out.
Looking back now I realize, it's how Ive come to meet some of the greatest people by aquantaince, the career opportunities that have been given to me, the health I have now, the good luck Iv'e been given, and the bond I have with my family.
Yes, I understand this is a health blog and not a "be selfless blog".
But I do believe in order to be a healthy person, you have to be a happy person too... and I believe happy people aren't selfish.
My grandma told me about this challenge which started at the book called "How a month of giving can change your life" and it's website.
I do plan on reading the book in the near future but I was so excited when I saw this website it motivated me and I made my profile just like I made this blog, and found I can hook up to twitter, send pictures from my phone, and talk to other people who are doing the same things :)
I'll be keeping track, taking pictures, and sharing what I do everyday!
Something like this will be good for me right now... living in LA, "single" (not married) and living alone.
It just happens that most of my days consist of thoughts like "what am I going to do", "how can I feel better", "what do I feel like".
Pretty much Me Me Me.
This project gives me a time in my day to think about helping someone else out for a change.
You guys can check out the website and create your own profile too, check out more in depth how this idea came about, why people are so involved, and examples of little gifts.
This is going to be fun! Add me if you join :)

And thanks grandma for the idea, you always find me the neatest things to do :)
Love You.
