Okay one thing I’ve found is that I think that one person to make a difference for isn’t enough and then try to make a difference for so many and that’s the only way it counts in The Gift 30 Day Challenge. So what I am going to commit to is making a difference for 1 person a day. And if there are others I’ll do it. I’ve been trying to make this a numbers game and it is NOT a numbers game. That’s exciting. I’ll let the Universe figure out all the great ways to bring my intended goal of a min of $50K plus expenses by July 28th.

I connected deeply with my wife’s cousin over the 4th. And offered to trim the hedges that have not been clipped in years because of her late husbands illness. I did it. She was so appreciative and happy I did it. I also offered to give her suggestions about NOT spending money on new siding and just getting the house painted. I used to paint houses in college and knew enough to make a difference. So felt like I totally made a difference with her in a way I knew how to. We stayed and ate at her house for free nearly a week and took us on a tour of Annapolis. I know that may sound corny but that was the deal anyway. I happy we were staying at her house cause she invited us but my contribution as to bring value to her from our stay. It was fun.

I was looking for the synchronicity of me doing that but realized that staying with her at no cost was huge for me and my family. We hardly spent any money on vacation!!!
