What I Love About 7 Days of Giving

I love hearing from other people about their experiences with 7 Days of Giving. I love that I ran into a boy whom I haven’t been close with since my single digits and as I passed him on the street he said, “Thanks for organizing all that giving – I’ve really been enjoying it!”

And I love the text I got from a friend saying that she made her brother a mix. And I loved hearing from a USC friend that he just got back from taking a friend around town running errands because the friend did not have a car. I love that one of my brother’s friends told me he was touched by my efforts and I love that a friend supported me and came with me for Free Hugs.

I love that there were over 1500 people invited to the Facebook event, yet I only invited around 150 myself – I love that that means that so many other people felt that 7 Days of Giving was something worth while and worth spreading. I love that I don’t know the names of all the people who wrote on the wall for the event.

And most of all I love observing the kindness that goes on around me everyday. I am continually inspired by the people who have entered my life, whether it was for 21 years, 24 hours total, or somewhere in between. Thank you to everyone who has helped shape me to be the person I am today. I love myself and I love all of you!
