A Minute For Me {Giveaway}

Okay guys. This is seriously, seriously a great book--especially for moms. Especially for moms that we all tend to be like: busy over-achievers. It is down to earth and well-written.

The point of the book A Minute for Me by Megan McDonough is to help you learn to take a few minutes for yourself each day. To "live deliberately" as Thoreau put it. Here is a great quote from the book:

"You can think about the past, you can plan for the future, but the only time you experience life is right now. This is as good as it gets! Life is always happening right now. If you are constantly re-running the "to-do" list through your mind, or rushing to get one thing done so you can do something else, you miss this moment. In the blink of an eye, life goes by and you wonder how you got to be that person in the mirror" (page 14).

That is the perfect quote for our modern society. There are so many things I could quote from this book that resonated with me. 

Needless to say, I love the book and I think you will, too. So let's just get right to the entering process.

Entry Rules

• You must leave a comment in order to have an entry.
• You must leave a separate comment for each entry. This is not so I can get lots of comments--it is because it makes it a million times easier to choose a winner. It takes less time, and less time is good. Plus, it makes sure I don't miss an entry.
• You don't have to do all seven entries...for example, if you just want to follow this blog, you can just do entry one.
• One entry per comment.
• Up to seven entries per person.
• You must fulfill the rules of each entry for each entry to count. If I see the entry is not valid (did not meet entry requirements), I will disqualify your entry. Trust me, I check.
• Entries will be accepted until Saturday, February 25 when I choose the winner.
• The winner will be randomly selected at random.org
• The winner will be announced Saturday, February 25.
• If you would like, you can add your email address to your entry. If you are the winner, I will email you to let you know. You do not need to add your email address in order to win. I understand not everyone wants to share their email addresses with the world. I will announce the winner on the blog, so you can check the blog Saturday to find out if you won.
• Once the winner is announced, you will have one week to contact me or another winner will be chosen. Be sure to check back. The only thing worse than not winning is to win but not realize it in time!
