One Thousand Gifts

First of all..... I don't know if I have mentioned Ann here before?

 Yes, I refer to Ann on a first name basis as if we know one another.  

I have never met her a day in my life. 

 But I have been reading her blog for a long time now (years?) 

And from her honest, personal, touching, no-holding-back posts, I feel like I know a little about her. :)

I digress.  

So Ann has written this book, One Thousand Gifts:
A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are.

 It has been in my amazon shopping cart for almost a month, waiting for the release date.  Last week it arrived!  

(yes, this is the image from Amazon.com, I was too lazy to take a pic of my book! :)

Anyway....although I am in the middle of about 10 other books right now, I stopped reading those to start reading this one.  

Please watch this video without crying...I dare you!

Moments.  

What are you doing with your microscopic, fleeting moments?

Moments that are holy.

"This is how you spend your one life well..." she says.

And because of my love for Ann (I realize that I am beginning to sound like her #1 fan....), I went ahead and ordered another copy of her book to GIVE AWAY!!

Yes, you heard this right, people.....
