So, I read this book: Carry on Warrior by Glennon Doyle. I love her. She's amazing. She has a blog, http://momastery.com/blog/. She's raw and honest and well, you get the point. I have a crush on her.
I bought an extra copy to give away. I was thinking about who I wanted to give it to and thought I'd offer a challenge instead. So, here's the deal. If you want a chance to win this book, you have to write a guest blog for me. Your blog can be anonymous or you can sign it. It can be short or long. The only thing is, I get to pick the winner and nobody gets to question why:)
I will post your blog regardless of if you are the winner that I select. You can then choose to share it on facebook or be content with the readers you will get that follow the blog regularly. That's up to you!
I want the posts to be about Christmas in some way. You can write about the importance of the birth of Jesus, consumerism, traditions, how to deal with family, holiday parties, whatever. I was going to make it more specific, but sometimes when I write, I intend to focus on one thing and it turns out entirely different by the end of my rambling...
What do you say? Are you up to the challenge? Send me your post at lstrongl@yahoo.com by December 22nd if you want a chance to win the book! I will try to play along with the challenge and write my own if time permits as well!
Oh, and when you finish reading the book, I'd love to share one of my favorite drinks with you and discuss the book!
Counting down to Christmas with carols at the nursing home this evening, 12/12/13 at 6:30pm. If you are looking for some Christmas cheer, please join us!!
XOXO,

XOXO,
Your post somehow made me think of Jason Silva "Shots of Awe" featured on CBS morning show not too long ago. Brilliant, a little hyper, but also inspiring. My take away from the clip they featured is about how we deeply value all that we have because we know it is not forever. (except, for me, weight gains from holiday cookies, but I digress) I found that one video to be very stirring ... and inspiring as we all need to appreciate what we have everyday ... will look into more sometime.

ReplyDeleteI had never heard of that, Sue!! I'll watch some of them tonight!! Very interesting!! :) Stay away from the cookies!! ;) I'm making peanut butter blossoms Saturday if you want to stop by for a treat-hahaha!!
DeleteI hope you do. I thought his insight was eye opening. If we all look at the world knowing how precious every moment is, then we really SEE what is there and acknowledge it. By SEEING, we honor and respect what we have. I'm making cookies for the UMC walk. (Gotta make some sacrifices as there will be quality control testing.) HUGS tls
