Ta daaaaa – we have a winner!

May 10, 2013 by Patricia Sands

If it’s Friday, it must be France …

As promised, today I am thrilled to announce that the winner of my giveaway prize, the book entitled The Most Beautiful Country Towns of Provence, is Lynn Rettig. CONGRATULATIONS!

The name of each person who contributed a comment to my post about girlfriends was entered into Random.Org and Lynn’s name was in first place when the results were generated.

The winner of the iPad Mini from the Rafflecopter draw was Linda Hendrickson, so congratulations to her as well. Check out each participating website to see who won the other special gifts and we will be contacting the winners of the free books shortly to see which titles they would like.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated. We had an amazing number of entrants and such positive comments all around. It truly was wonderful to read the thoughts expressed by all of you and the meaningful way you spoke of  the influence and importance of special women in your life.

Your enthusiasm was contagious and you might have convinced us to do it again some time!

A video that speaks volumes … in every sense of the word …

May 6, 2013 by Patricia Sands

It was so much fun and very rewarding to hear from so many people during our Celebrating Women event! Today I have to get my head wrapped around some serious work. This post is short and sweet but the message resounds.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.

Charles W. Eliot (1834 – 1926), The Happy Life, 1896

Whether we are talking about print or electronic these days, nothing diminishes the importance of books. This is my favourite video at the moment. Enjoy!

I first saw it on this awesome website Reading is Fundamental and hope you will find a few minutes to go there yourself. Children and books: spreading the word and helping to make it happen is the least we can do.
