The Gratitude GIVEAWAY!

I have so much to be thankful for … I bet you do too. But sometimes it’s easy to forget to appreciate the very things that make life meaningful. I wrote about my forgetfulness in this article in Austin Woman Magazine. You might want to take a peek. I think it will make you want to give your life a big old hug.

To fight the infectious forgetfulness and the attitude of ingratitude I often get, I decided to issue myself a challenge. Every day in the month of November, I am giving thanks for the things I often take for granted. I call it The Joy Challenge. Basically, it goes like this:

Every day – give thanks. And in everything – give thanks.

Thanks for the big stuff.

cousins

And thanks for the little stuff.

geraniums

But mostly thanks to the One that’s giving and giving all the time.

So what’s that got to do with the giveaway?!

Well, I’d like to put a smile on your face & some hope in your heart. And I figure that might just happen if you win the big giveaway. But I know it will happen if you start saying thanks.

So here’s what you get if you win (and you get all of it – a $275 value!!!) …
