Hello Blog Readers!
Who likes free stuff? Everyone, of course. Well, today you can win some free stuff right here on Thoughts on Life. What's up for grabs? A unique little gift book called "
Amish Proverbs" by Suzanne Woods Fisher. Details on the contest follow this quick review.
Amish Proverbs is a hefty little book full of... amish proverbs! Mostly cute, sometimes funny, and frequently inspirational, it's a neat little coffee table book. As such, a proper review doesn't really befit this book, so I thought I would quote one excerpt I found that I rather liked.
"Some people never learn anything because they understand everything too soon."
I feel like that proverb describes me in many ways. I feel like I'm gifted with understanding, and too frequently I use that as a crutch to prevent myself from having to make any real change.
The book is full of little sayings like that. It's quite cute and quite meaningful at the same time.
So, now that you've read that excerpt, I bet you're thinking "how do I get my hands on a copy? It's only been out a week and a half!"
Well, here's how. Click the little comment button below this post and leave your name, along with a family proverb. The proverb doesn't need to be funny or meaningful or anything, but just something that was true that you heard growing up. Here's my example:
Andy Szymas - "Food is what's for dinner."
See? Simple! So click comment, leave your name and proverb, and I'll automatically enter you to win a free copy.
And as a special bonus to my loyal readers, if you are a follower of my blog, I'll give you an extra entry! That means you would have double the chance to win a free copy (which I will mail out in approximately two weeks time). If you're not a follower, you can just click the "Follow" button at the top of the screen and I'll give you an extra entry as well!
So - what's your proverb?
