It’s always interesting to see how things unfold. When you embark on a journey all that stretches before you is the unknown, which is part of the excitement. It’s a thrilling feeling, knowing that you are working towards something-even when that something is totally abstract. In fact, it’s almost never the destination [...]

I got this Note From The Universe today and thought it would let the other Elves know about the impact they’re making on the world (and maybe encourage more people to become Elves  ); the bold emphasis is mine.
What people rarely give themselves credit for is that their giving continues giving, even after [...]

I’m leaving for my holiday shortly, and am just posting quickly to wish you all, one last time, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I will be popping in once per day or so to check for new Elf posts, but I won’t be able to do much beyond that. [...]

Abundance comes in many forms, and really you never quite know how it’s going to show up in your life. Recently I visited an allergen free bakery after I promised my children a super treat. We are gluten/soy/dairy free and it’s not always easy to find truly wonderful things for them to eat. [...]

Because the Elf Chat is growing daily, I thought it would be helpful to have a post where we could share ideas for Elfing.
As you all share your ideas in the comments, I’ll edit this post to add them in. I’m separating these into categories; if you think of a category I don’t [...]

Did any of you see this story in the news? “Mystery Couple Starts Magical Chain Reaction”. Such a wonderful story, and such a testament to what can be started with a simple act of giving. And I just LOVE that this story was featured right up top on my mainstream news page! [...]

I just love the Holiday season. I love the carols, the cookies, and even the cold. I love sweaters and scarves and having to scrape frost off my windshield in the mornings, and I love coming back inside with red cheeks to drink hot chocolate with marshmallows and candy canes. I love [...]

Well, as you can read in the comments section of my last post, I didn’t get out yesterday to Elf somebody, as I expected; it was just too darn cold! However, our 20 degree weather today felt almost Spring-like compared to the last several here, so I finally got to run errands and Elf somebody [...]

My Elf Cards haven’t yet arrived, but I received a fabulous nudge from GUS (that’s God/Universe/Source for those who may not know ) to Elf someone today.
This was the TUT Notes From the Universe note I got this morning:
What one little thing could you do today, Barb, within your means and your [...]

I have a totally thrilling announcement:
Within 24 hours, all Elves will have the ability to author their own posts on this blog!
Sometime tomorrow each of you should receive a username, a password, and a URL. If you click on the URL, it will take you to where you can compose your post. [...]

This week’s recipient is inspired by MamaElf, who has been Elf-giving like crazy (hooray for MamaElf!). She shared in Elf Chat that for one of her recipients, she wrote a poem. We all agreed that it was a simply fantastic idea, and that there are few things as lovely as receiving a heartfelt, [...]

I have a wonderful new development to announce: I have been SO inspired and excited by all of the wonderful Elf giving stories, that I am planning to introduce the ability for Elves to post their own giving stories, as guest Elf posters! My inspiration, as usual, is the wonderful myeverydaymagic.com. I’m hoping [...]

I just love Elf Tuesdays!
In honor of the Holiday season, I sorted all the names this week with the help of a friendly Christmas Elf (being sure to first add our newest Elf, Fisyr, of course):

I closed my eyes, fished around a bit, and picked out…

Elf “One”!  Congratulations, One!  I will PayPal your money just [...]
