Giveaway 2 (winner drawn 9 February at 11am GMT) and Giveaway 1 winner

Happy Candlemas and Imbolc everyone!!

Blessing upon blessing this bright Sunday morning :-)

One by One

One by one, in tiny increments,

candle by candle, gesture by effort,

wish by prayer, concern by care,

we feed the light-fires of the soul

and light the infinite universe,

little by little from within.

Mama Donna Henes

And to celebrate, here's Giveaway 2 of my 13 weeks of gifting to mark my 50th year. This week's giveaway is this wonderfully, wise book.

This is a brand new, hardback edition. It was given to me as a gift, but I already have a well-loved copy...

You can find more info here and here's a couple more pictures

(The book stand is not included in the giveaway, I'm afraid.)

The Four Agreements are:

Be impeccable with your word.

Don't take anything personally.

Don't make assumptions.

Always do your best.

Not rocket science, I know, but in these 152 pages, Don Miguel Ruiz writes clearly and beautifully, and really challenges and inspires. Most deep wisdom is surprisingly ordinary, but incredibly hard to put into practice. I find this book a welcome reminder of things my Best Self already knows, so I come back to it again and again...

I hope you'll enjoy entering this week's giveaway, as this lovely hardback edition (with its pale blue ribbon marker) deserves to be read :)

Just leave a comment below - and GOOD LUCK!

PostScript 

I forgot to mention last week - I draw each winner in the 13 birthday giveaways at 

11am GMT (the approximate time I was born in Singapore in 1964) on the relevant deadline days.

*My instructions weren't the clearest, when I combined the first giveaway with my Grow Your Blog post, so I added the names of those who asked to be entered into the draw, but didn't comment on the actual giveaway post.
