The 64 day Challenge: Gift #52 Given on February 25th

by Chris DessiMarch 1, 2010

Today I was honored to speak at The Fashion Group International event held at the Canadian Consulate.  Upon arriving at the event we were held in the lobby because due to inclement weather they were running late and the cameras/food had not been set up in time.  As coordinators scampered to set up the venue, [...]

The 64 day Challenge: Gift #50 Given on February 23rd

by Chris DessiMarch 1, 2010

I sat down in my seat on Metro North heading home when an older woman got on board. She was dragging heavy luggage behind her and looked tired.  Before she even attempted putting the luggage in the over-head I asked her if I could help.  She looked at me like she could have kissed me [...]

The 64 day Challenge: Gift #49 Given on February 22nd

by Chris DessiMarch 1, 2010

As I was heading into the subway today I noticed a girl standing at the entrance. She had this sort of confused look on her face.  I usually would have kept walking and not said a thing, but with my gift in mind I turned to her and said “are you ok”? She smiled and [...]

This afternoon my wife threw me a wonderful Birthday Party.
I thanked her by cleaning up.

The 64 day Challenge: Gift #45 Given on February 18th

by Chris DessiFebruary 19, 2010

Today’s gift is very special.  After everything that our family experienced regarding my father’s misdiagnosis with ALS we were a bit ill prepared for his heart surgery which came only weeks afterward.  Dad’s surgery went very well, however it was certainly a reality check for the whole family.  We were blessed to have world class [...]

The 64 day Challenge: Gift #44 Given on February 17th

Each day after I work out I buy lunch from the “juice bar” at Equinox in the Time Warner Center.  Last week I reached into my wallet to pay for my sandwich and stuck in between two bills I accidentally handed the cashier a very large check that had been issued to me via my [...]

On my way home tonight I gifted a $5 tip to an older gentleman rocking out on the keyboard during rush hour in the subway.  He smiled, gave a thumbs up, and kept on rocking it!

The 64 day Challenge: Gift #41 Given on February 14th

by Chris DessiFebruary 18, 2010

Every once in a while a gift “comes back to me”  either in the form of a genuine thank you, or by a simple smile in response.  Today’s gift reaped dividends.  While at lunch in Newport, Rhode Island I decided to tip our waitress $30 on a $47.90 bill.  I’d done this once before; however [...]

The 64 day Challenge: Gift #39 Given on February 12th

by Chris DessiFebruary 16, 2010

Today’s gift was for my daughter Talia. The interesting thing about this gift is that she won’t receive the gift unless it’s totally unequivocally necessary.  Before Talia was born, we received an outpouring of gifts from friends and family who were anxiously awaiting her arrival.  Toys, clothing and every possible baby product showed up on [...]
