Simple Abundance Giveaway

I've reached a few blogger milestones that I'm happy to report! I have over 400 followers now, almost 200 Facebook fans and this post right here is my 500th blog entry and I've only been blogging for 497 days. Last, but not least, we could fill a concert hall with the almost 40,000 visitors that have stopped in since the my blogs inception 497 days ago. You guys are so cool, I don't feel worthy of all that attention. I'm humbled and grateful that all you fine folks share in my life's joys, however simple they my be.

That brings me to my thank you giveaway. Years ago a dear co-worker bestowed upon me a life changing book called "Simple Abundance, a Day Book of Comfort and Joy" by Sarah Ban Breathnach, it's brought me as much happiness and personal insight as any book could ever do and helps me counteract that "not worthy" mentality. It's a collection of daily essays; which I read when the mood strikes me and I always find perspective. (click here to read my previous blog entries about this book). Most of my Ya-Ya's have a copy they enjoy and I'd like to share a copy with you, along with a few other items of Simple Abundance.

Simple Abundance Giveaway:
A brand new copy of "Simple Abundance, a Day Book of Comfort and Joy" by Sarah Ban Breathnach, a brand new copy of Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book, wood element candle with coin, one of my homemade sage smudges, Banded Amethyst (excellent for all types of introspective work), a homemade set of stone prayer beads made by yours truly, a box of perfumed stationary, and whatever else I decide to throw in there over the next few weeks.
