A BIG Thank You, A BIGGER Vision, And There's Still Time for Prizes!
I want to thank you all so much for your help, encouragement, supportive energy, and good wishes. Bring a Book to Bed Day is a big success! And thanks to some old and new friends in Italy, an INTERNATIONAL holiday. I can't wait for next year -- especially because I have a much BIGGER vision. Next year, I envision book drives throughout the month of February so books can be distributed to children and families in need. I always remember the joy I felt when I was able to order books at school and how excited I was when they arrived. I imagine schools in under-served areas receiving books for their students and every year the circle widening as communities throughout the world become more and more involved in the book drives so more and more people can become a part of the community of readers that can bring a book to bed. In this way, people from all walks of life can celebrate the beauty of the written word and time spent with loved ones. Everyone around the world is encouraged to take the time to relax, not do so much, and just be in the presence of the gift of a good book. I can't wait to get comfy and cozy with a good book next year on Bring a Book to Bed Day on February 28, 2009!
I also want to mention that there is still time for you to send in your photos. I will be accepting photos for the contest until midnight on February 29, 2008 (after that, you won't be eligible for prizes, but I will definitely continue to post them as I receive them.) The prizes are beyond great and you have a good chance of being a winner. The prizes are a free coaching session with the wonderful Ezgi Sorman of My Bliss and Balance based on her 6 Steps to Trance.Mission Your Life Program. A $25 in-store gift certificate offered by the lovely Elizabeth Santiago of the fabulous beauty and skin-care line Celebritay (remember, if you aren't a New Yorker and can't visit her store at 358 Grand Street in beautiful Brooklyn, I will pick out something for you from her great product line and mail it out to you!) And I will be offering a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com. So send your photos to me at alba@writerslake.com with your first name, location, book you are reading, and if someone recommended it to you. I'll be announcing the winners next week, so good luck!
