Read the 365commitment below. Choose how many days you will commit to giving. Choose 7 days to start and build up to 365 days or take the plunge and just do it – 365 days starting today. Print this page and sign it. Post a copy in your bedroom, bathroom, on the fridge, put a copy in your wallet, in the car and at the office.

    Bravo and thank you for this awesome idea and opportunity :) I am going to follow you along the way and blog about how I am giving back, daily.

    Since becoming a mom, I have thought a great deal about my values. These thoughts have led me towards the practise of Buddhism which has opened the door to a deeper examination of how we care for the earth and its inhabitants. I have been thinking about the legacy that we leave behind once our soul departs this material world (which often seems to be overrun with materialism, consumerism, and shallow reverence to egocentric behaviour). I have talked a little bit about this in my blog (especially when calling-out our BC provincial political leaders), but have since been very inspired by my friend Jacqueline to do more to walk-the-walk. Or, as the great Mahatma Gandhi said, “be the change {I} want to see in the world”.

    What I find most inspiring is that this leads to a thought shift. If you join the commitment you will notice how your thoughts shift from daily egocentric thoughts (me, me, me, me, me, and all related to me) to selfless and non-judgemental thoughts. This is oh so liberating.

    Also, I find Jacqueline’s challenge to be extremely empowering because it will put into action the reality that even the simplest act of giving (i.e., listening to a friend, picking-up garbage at the park, etc.) is actually “giving back” and is enough to change the world, one act at a time, one person at a time.
