So, it is for that reason I am hosting a giveaway with two of my favorite things.
Imagine yourself curled up on the bed, all comfy and cozy. Of course, wearing your old tattered p.j.'s , the ones you reserve for days just like this. Maybe some soft music is playing and
the window is open offering a gentle breeze.
No one is around, just you a box of chocolate and a new book.
Penguin Luck by Kay Mupetson
I believe in dreams. I believe the power of love and encouragement can lead to people fulfilling their dreams. Once just a storyteller, Kay Mupetson is now an author. From a thought to paper Doreen Lowe comes to life within the 282 pages.
A young junior associate in a "real" Manhattan law firm.
A women with unique challenges,
(you have to read it...I'm not going to tell you)
a persistent career and personal life. Big decisions...emotions....and a balancing act.
Yup, it's good!
(Sometimes reviews say too much and in this case I have decided less is more.)
I'm offering one copy and some Lindt Lindor super yummy milk chocolate with a dreamy white chocolate center....need I say more, to one lucky winner.
How?
I would love to know if someone encouraged you to follow your dreams.
If that doesn't apply to you than tell me one dream you wish you could fulfill. (One entry)
Follow my blog or if you follow my blog. (One entry)
Tell me what book you are reading or what types of books you like. (One entry)
If your a SITSer. (One entry)
This giveaway is open to US and Canada and it will end on 2/20
If you are interested in ordering this book CLICK HERE. It retails for $18.95
Thanks for stopping by and good luck!
I was asked to do a book review and given a book for a giveaway. I wrote what I feel is truthful.
I also endorse any consumption of chocolate. I bought this chocolate because I love it!
Do not believe what "they" tell you...it is good for you. :D

My parents pushed me to go to college and paid for it so I could live my dream of being a self-sufficient teacher.

I just got finished reading the Shack. LOVED LOVED it. I like books that you can't put down and that you find hidden meanings you can apply in your life.

1. My high school guidance counselor sent in my college application and paid the fee, after I had taken the SAT and given up--assuming I had done poorly on the test. (I actually did reasonably well. So I received an acceptance letter when I didn't even know I had applied. My parents didn't believe in college for girls and wouldn't co-sign a college loan for me. He did it without my knowledge. I discovered it after I had graduated and paid off the loan; the cancelled note had his name on it.
2. I am a follower.
3. I am a SITStah!
4. I just finished James Patterson's 7th Heaven. I like a variety of books--Mysteries, Historical novels, and even an occasional Sci-Fi, Stephen King, and Dean Koontz. (And I often eat Lindt Chocolate while I read!)
I think that gives me four entries! I would so love to win!!
1. My grandfather was one of my biggest fans & greatest inspirations!
2. I love reading chick lit & fiction. I am currently reading "A Complicated Kindness"
3. I am a SITSstah!
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
1) My parents inspire me, and I know that's totally cheesy but the more I meet other people's parents the more blessed I am by parents who support and care and love and are patient.
And also... sadly in comparison to others,, are still married so they demonstrate long lasting relationships as they ebb and flow instead of other's parents that just walk away. (not that walking away is a JUST but still).
2) I'm a SITSTER!!!
3) I follow you of course
4) I am currently reading Stern Men,, its a book by the same author as Eat Pray Love and sadly,, its not as good but its still early in the book so there is still time!
First of all, thanks for stopping by my blog! Your blog is adorable- I'm your newest follower...
I am so fortunate that my husband encourages me to follow my dreams- every day!
I am also a brand new SITSer :)
Reading Turn of the Screw by Henry James- didn't get too many of the classics when I was being "educated"...
So glad I found your blog!
I wish I could figure out what I want to do with my life - it's kind of hard to set goals when you don't know what you want.
I'm currently reading English Lessons and Other Stories by Shauna Singh Baldwin.
I would love to be able to take my family and go to Rome/Vatican/Italy. Sigh...
Right now I'm reading "living the mass" and "apostolate of holy motherhood". I'm between fiction right now, but I love christian fiction best (but by no means only).
PS - Thanks for the invite in my contest.
I'm a NEW SITS girl :). You finally got me off my duff to do it!
Chocolat and a FUN book is PERFECT!!!
1) When I told my parents I wanted to get into photography, they looked at me funny for a few months. Eventually they purchased the equiptment I needed to get going, and I've been able to make extra money while I'm still in school! (www.bayleighmphotography.com)
2) New follower! (hooray!)
3) I'm a SITSter :)
4) I'm reading The Undomesticated Goddess (Sophie Kinsella)

What a great giveaway! I am a new follower and am currently reading Weekends at Bellevue by Dr. Julie Holland. I have always wanted to own my own business.
Great giveaway!
1) Currently my boyfriend is encouraging my to follow my dreams and figure out what I want to do other than be an accountant. I've been thinking about going to pastry school for a long time and he's pushing me to give it a shot. I'm seriously considering it.
2) I follow your blog.
3) I love reading anything. Right now I'm reading "Why is my mother getting a tattoo?" by Jancee Dunn...it's a collection of essays and she's hilarious. I recommend it.
4) I'm a SITSter - for about a month now.
Oooh - books and chocolate, two of my favourite things!!
My husband has not only encouraged me to follow my dreams, but pushed me. Its incredible the things you can accomplish when there is someone who believe in you so much. Sometimes he makes me mad because he insists on pushing me out of my comfort zone, but at the end I'm always so glad that he helped me to challenge myself.
I just finished reading "If You Have To Cry, Go Outside" by Kelly Cutrone and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." Right now I'm reading "The Brightest Star in the Sky" by Marian Keyes.
my parents always encouraged me to follow my dreams - in fact even as an adult they are still my biggest fans and supporters! How lucky am i?
i became a follower of your blog.
I just finished reading the christmas sweater by glenn beck, a little late i know.
You bet someone encouraged my dreams - my parents. I never remember a time in my life when they didn't believe in me completely.
I am a follower.
I just finished The Help and it was GREAT!!!!
I'm a SITSer!
Thanks for the welcome :)
~A fellow SITSter
And I am currently reading "How to Talk So Your Kids Will Listen and Listen So Your Kids Will Talk"
:)
Thanks for commenting on my blog and welcoming me to SITS. I really have enjoyed being a part of the community!
I have actually been following your blog for a bit. I must've found you on SITS. :)
I love entering giveaways, but I don't know that it would be right for me to try to win this one. With an 8 month old and trying to learn how to grow my blog, I don't have time for a good book to read. Chocolate is not my friend since I have baby weight to lose.
I will be back often!
I had a teacher that inspired me so much. I have (years later) decided to go back to school to pursue a degree in Elementary Education.

I like historical fiction best; but I read a variety of books!

My parents definitely encouraged me. When I decided I wanted to be a painter, they didn't try to get me to learn a 'fall-back' career - they sent me to university for fine art. Now I do what I love every day as my job.

I dream of reading lots and lots of books -- and my dream is coming true very slowly.
