January Giveaway!

“Have the courage to live. Anyone can die.” ~ Robert Cody

Okay, first off, I just have to tell ya'll that I actually won a blog giveaway myself!! I was SO excited to get this awesome calendar from Little Thoughts! Thanks so much, Lindsay!


Second.....Michabella at Living a Life of Love is doing a giveaway of.....wait for it....SHOES!! Yes, I said SHOES! Check it out here!

Third....it is apparently the BEST month EVER for giveaways, because Neely at A Complete Wast of Makeup (how great is that blog title??) is giving way a $50 gift card and....best part....you get to pick between several different stores including.....wait for it.....BANANA REPUBLIC and TARGET! So have my fingers crossed on that one!! :)

And finally....to my blog for the day! Now that this month is almost over (does anyone else feel like it was just New Year's Eve??), it's time for our January giveaway!

I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. I think that they just set up you for failure. And, I am always annoyed for the first two weeks of the year when I have to wait on a treadmill or weight machine because of all the "resolutionists" who invade the gym.

But I do love the idea that each year begins anew and we have the opportunity to set goals and priorities and figure out all of the fun things that we intend to do for that coming year. So...with that in mind, we have the January giveaway!


I have a copy of a mini-book called "98 Things a Woman Should Do in Her Lifetime" that I will be giving away to our lucky drawing winner. (Sorry any boys who read this and are bummed about this giveaway---I really did look for something similar for men, but apparently one hasn't been written!) Here's a great quote from the book just to give you a little taste, "Life is too short for ironing, nonfat dairy creamer, and regret of any kind." My kind of book!

HOW TO ENTER


You can enter one of two ways (or both)!

I am a follower : ) and my one goal this year is to be an overall better daughter, sister, grand-daughter, best friend and me...be a better me. How cliche do I sound right now, haha.

Okay if I knew how to be a follower with out setting up a google account I would. I like to keep my life simple with one email address considering I do not have internet at home to check a personal one. But no worries I have been reading all your posts since the first one :) My goal for the year is to get down to a Jean Size of 8 and fit into a Small Shirt.

I have developed a 5x5 which includes these 5 broad categories: personal, relational, spiritual, physical, and professional. For 2011, I have one specific goal in each of those areas.

My goal for 2011 is to not sweat the small things. I spend too much of my life stressed about things that don't matter...and even if they do matter, I spend too much effort stressing and not enough effort in just doing.
Bonus...I'm a new follower!
