Oprah does it.
And now I’m doing it.
And to be honest I haven’t watched Oprah since I was on bedrest pregnant with my OLDEST daughter 8 years ago.
Anyhoo…
If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time then you will know that I’m not really a giveaway girl. I’ve given away books written by my friends and acquaintances in the last year, but I’ve never done anything like I will be doing in the next six weeks.
Don’t have a heart attack. I’m not giving away cameras or refrigerators.
But every Monday from now until the end of the year, I will be hosting a giveaway. Yes, that’s right. Every Monday. Like clockwork. (Or as regular as jogging regimen used to be before I started writing a book…) And they will be MY FAVORITE THINGS. Sorta like Oprah.
And since I’m not in the giveaway circuit, most (not all) of the things I get to give to you I will be purchasing myself. Some have been donated and I’ll make sure you know when someone has been gracious enough to donate something to my readers.
So to launch this My Favorite Things: Six Weeks of Free Stuff series, I’m giving you one of my personal favorite things. A necklace by Lisa Leonard. She just has been generous enough to donate one of her brand new Paper Lantern necklaces to one of my readers.
Not only is Lisa one of my favorite people, but her unique jewelry is some of my favorite to wear. I’m not glamorous or overstated, so for me her pieces are the perfect amount of jewelry around my neck. I have one to giveaway here this week and the winner will be able to personalize it with the names they choose (yours won’t say “chad” “hope” and “naomi” because if it did, that would be weird).
To enter, leave a comment telling me one thing you are thankful for (this being Thanksgiving week, I thought that would be appropriate). Please, one comment only per person and the comments will be open until 9pm Pacific Time on Wednesday.
I’ll announce the winner at the end of the week.
Oh, I’m so excited! Are you?

I am thankful for family, grace, therapists, and for York Peppermint patty cookies.
Oh so excited! Actually I just came upon your blog about a month ago and it has been such a great source of encouragement! So thank you! I am also thankful for God’s grace and mercy especially lately when I REALLY need it!
I am thankful for my soldier husband and my baby boy.
our first house, tea, my students
I’m thankful that both I and my baby daughter are alive. We both came very close to meeting Jesus on the day of her birth in March. And she spent 10 weeks and 5 days in the NICU. But we’re both alive and healthy now. And for that I praise the Lord.
I am thankfull for thoes moments in church when you feel the burdens of your heart lifted off by Jesus and for my big brother being there to hold me when I needed the hug of a man!
Just one thing?!? Redemption through grace would have to be it for me.
Thanks for the goodies. I always enjoy your writing.

I have a lot things to be thankful for. My amazing husband who gets to be home for the holidays this year instead of being deployed. My wonderful 5 year old daughter who never ceases to amaze me with her child like view and faith. Most of all my Saviour and my salvation through Him. He has started to work in my life again and in my family’s and we’re finally open to growing more which is truly amazing to say the least. I’m so glad that my heavenly Father never gives up on me and he has so much patience in guiding me as His child. I am unbelievably blessed
So much to be thankful for! Tomorrow I will be most thankful that our 10 month old son, Asher, will be able to take is “special” shoes off and will only have to be wearing them at night. He was born with clubbed feet, and this is a BIG step! The doctor has been so pleased with how he has healed. Glory be to God!!!!
I’m thankful for my family and friends. But most of all for my grandmother’s heart of gold and helping me become the woman I am today! Grandma Lucy Garcia R.I.P
