Blessings


Ever had one of those days when you realized all of the blessings you have in your life? Your partner, your pets, your friends, your co-workers, your community...so many colors of the kaleidoscope that is our circle of blessings.

I am having one of those days today - and I am overjoyed at the abundance of blessings that exist in my life - and I am humbled and truly grateful for each and every one of them, and I pray that I too may be a blessing in the lives of others. I can think of no greater accomplishment in a life than that.

Magical Child Books is Having a Birthday!

Magical Child Books has turned two, and they are in the mood to celebrate. Last month Lyon's first book `An Ordinary Girl, A Magical Child,' received the prestigious honor as a 2009 COVR Visionary Awards Finalist. As you can see, they have more than one reason to have a party!

You and all your friends are invited.

Usually when someone has a birthday, the people coming to the party bring the gifts. They're turning the tables and flipping this custom on its head. They will give the gifts. You heard right. They are giving each of four lucky winners one of their four titles. That's one `An Ordinary Girl, A Magical Child,' one `Aidan's First Full Moon Circle,' one `Watchers,' and even one of our newest title, `Rabbit's Song.'

You want a FREE book, don't you? Well, yeah! Of course you do.

To celebrate Magical Child Book's second birthday, they are holding a book give-away contest. It is easy to enter.

All you have to do to enter is post an announcement like this one on your blog. Include the youtube.com book trailer for `An Ordinary Girl, A Magical Child' in your post. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6phdTMIsxQ) Once you have posted the news on your blog, send them an email with the URL link and your real name. That's it. You're entered!

On August 11, 2009, they will announce the winner for each book. Winners will have 48 hours to claim their free book by emailing with their mailing address. If a book goes unclaimed, they'll draw another name from all the entries.

Help Lyon spread the word. Post in your blog an announcement like this. Be sure to EMAIL contest (at) magicalchildbooks (dot) com your link and real name so we can put your name in the drawing. You can link to this post so everyone knows how to make sure they are entered for a FREE BOOK!

And because they are in such a good mood, if you hurry and you have your blog post up by next Saturday, July 11, 2009, they'll put you in for an extra entry. Just for posting by Saturday.

Spread the word! Win a FREE book!
