29-gifts-in29days.jpgOne month after her wedding day, thirty-three-year-old Cami Walker was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis that left her barely able to walk. Then, as a remedy for her condition, she received an uncommon prescription from a friend, an African medicine woman named Mbali Creazzo:. Cami was amazed by what unfolded during her month-long journey.

“By giving,” Mbali told her, “you are focusing on what you have to offer others, inviting more abundance into your life.” The gifts, she said, could be anything, but their giving had to be both authentic and mindful.

"Many of her gifts were simple—a phone call, spare change, even a Kleenex. Yet the acts of kindness were transformative. By Day 29, not only had her health and happiness turned around, but she had found the purpose for her life: to create a worldwide giving movement"

-- From the website of her new book, 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life (Now on Amazon.com)

Also visit 29 Gifts.org to learn how to join the giving movement.
