I gave up.

Well, let me explain. I’m not giving up on my year of giving. Or my life of giving for that matter. I’ve decided though that I’m not going to blog about it anymore.

It’s become a ‘responsibility’/'chore’ to me rather than a gift of inspiration to myself and others. I hope that’s inspired some. I am going to continue to each and every moment of my life to look for opportunities to give.

I’m giving myself permission to let go of the blogging of my year of giving. To be proud of what I’ve done so far and will continue to do. I’ve always been a quiet giver, and blogging it feels awkward at times. Sometimes I feel like I’m bragging, other times I feel like the act of giving I did would be diminished if I blogged about it. People might think they were part of a project rather than my gift being about how I feel about them.

I still believe giving to others is the greatest gift you can give to yourself.
