I really wanted to have this giveaway up this morning, but circumstances have been out. of. my. hands. ALL DAY! But it’s been good. Anywho, today is my birthday, and I’m 42. How am I celebrating? By giving you some awesome gifts all week. Woohoo! Aren’t ya excited? Say yes. Good job. We’ll get to that in a moment.
I had intended to talk about the women’s retreat I went to this weekend with my daughter, but I’m still processing it all. It was wonderful, and terrible. Joy and sadness. Laughter and tears. God shone a light on my heart, and showed me raw pain. Deep hurts. A child still wanting to be free. But I’m not ready to share. Wouldn’t know how. So I will process. And pray. And let God continue to work.
So I’ll talk about my birthday. Which isn’t going to be celebrated until this weekend. So I’m going to do something for myself tonight. I am going to write a 42 Things to Do While 42 list. I did this when I turned 40, and accomplished 20 things plus started more of them. It was a fun way to challenge myself to do things I normally don’t take the time to do: pamper myself, grow spiritually, learn something, do something out of the box…loved it.
And while I work on that, and snuggle with my honey, you can enter this giveaway! Woohoo! And the crowd goes wild. Okay, okay, moving on. So first up this week, we have a giveaway for my US readers only. International readers will get a chance to win something later this week.
I will send the winner this gently used (meaning my daughter and I read them first) Women of Justice trilogy by Lynette Eason. We enjoyed all three novels, but then we love us some romantic suspense. The giveaway will run for one week, US residents only, and be sure to come back for more giveaways this week. Now go forth and enter – Rafflecopter awaits…
