Shifting into giving

About a week ago, Carl showed me a video of Cami Walker, an MS patient who changed her life by giving 29 gifts in 29 days. I was intrigued. I put it on the back burner in my brain. And, I thought about it.
Basically, Cami was diagnosed with MS, and was advised by a spiritual advisor to give 29 gifts in 29 days. The idea was if Cami began to concentrate on what she can give other people each day, she would shift her energy. She said it began to work, she began to feel better. You can learn more about her and her project at www.29gifts.org.
Many of you know my mom has MS. So, it struck me because of that. More than that, though, I am intrigued by the idea that she shifted her energy by one simple act every day.
So, I decided, I am doing it, too.
Gratefully, I am healthy. And, I do have a tendency to live in my head. I think about things even after I have found solutions to problems. Maybe shifting my energy will mean getting out of my own head and in the process, helping other people.
So, since I am a writer, you guys will all get to see what happens firsthand. I will write about the gifts I give the day after I give them.
Today is day one. I sat in bed this morning thinking about what I would do today. I have already decided. But, you all have to wait until tomorrow to find out what I did.
