I'm feeling rather generous today. I don't know what that's all about. Many of you have commented here that you've already read my book. Some of you have left comments and those mean so much to me. I've decided to give a free book away today along with a personal letter and gift. I don't know what the gift will be yet.
If you've already read my book, Lessons from the Monk I Married, it's a wonderful gift to giveaway to friends or family, so don't pass up entering in on this.
Recently I've received THREE books in the mail from two different authors. It is such a wonderful feeling to receive signed books, letters or gifts in the mail. So much is online these days, that we don't take time to send things by post anymore. That makes it all the more exciting to receive a gift or package in the mail!
I guess I've recently been the recipient of so much generosity, I feel I'd like to also offer something to my readers here.
If you are interested in this giveaway, please just leave a comment in the comment section mentioning that you'd like to be part of the giveaway and please join my blog community on either Facebook, Blogger or Networked Blogs, or all three!
Also, since I'm doing 365 days of Inspirations for 2013, I'd love it if you would let me know of an inspiration—a person, place or thing—that you'd be interested in reading about on this blog.
I often do guest posts and interviews, so if you'd like to do an exchange with me or know someone I might interview for my inspirations, I'd love to hear about it.
Oh! and I'd love it if you'd share my free giveaway on your blog too as there may be some other people who might want to join in. I will randomly pick a name from the comment section of this blog on March 15, 2013. That person will receive these gifts from me. Thanks for reading and being here and now a few questions for YOU!
Special note: Kirsty is the winner of my giveaway! You can read about it here.
What do you find inspiring? What person, place or thing is inspiring to you?
HI Katherine,
ReplyDeleteI recently read about your book on a facebook forum that I belong to. I haven't been able to read your book yet so please enter me in your draw.
Presently my family is living in rural Korea for a year and I really take inspiration from my daily walks to school across the rice fields. The beauty here is inspiring. I always have an easy time being inspired when I am "away" from home---although home is also beautiful it is harder to notice it in the hustle of everyday life.
A possible idea for an interview would be the Vancouver Island based artist Coco Jones (cocojones.ca). She is an amazing and inspiring lady.
Thanks and take care, Kim
Thanks for the comment Kim. Your life in Korea sounds wonderful! I will have to check out Coco Jones for a possible post here! Thanks and I will enter you in the drawing!
DeleteLoved the quote :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to make part of your giveaway :)
Please keep blogging, you always teach much when you write and post. I am curious about your book.
As for the question...
I love any place that is peaceful and green.
The person who was inspiring to me was my grandmother :)
Blessed be *

Hi Life! Always good to see you here. I like peaceful and green places too. I will put your name in the drawing for my gifts. Thanks for commenting. Your grandmother must have been a very special person!
DeleteI shall always be around to read your blog :)
DeleteGlad to meet you and found you ;
You're welcome,
Take care my friend :)
Hi, Thank you for your generous offer. I'm definitley interested to read your book.
ReplyDeleteWho is my inspiration? My daughter actually. Just a few minutes with her and I've got a huge smile planted on my face. She brings the inner child out in me and is abundant in her love and free with her emotions. She's been the one to open up my heart and help me be fun, loving and free.
Cheers
Kirsty
Your daughter sounds so special! Children have such innocence and honestly and I thinks often that's what makes them so inspiring. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and I'll put your name in the drawing for the book!
DeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog some months ago but never read your book and yes I am interested to read it!
Who inspires me...Evelyn Glennie, the deaf percussionist. I am also a profoundly deaf musician, so she is a heroin to me.
You inspire me too!
Thanks!
Blue
I will have to look into to Evelyn Glennie and of course I will now visit your blog! Thanks for commenting!
DeleteThanks for visiting and following Katherine. I'm glad to have found your blog. You certainly have a unique perspective. Not many people can say they married a monk. Looking forward to hearing more. Following you on GFC. Joann :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow Jo! I was happy to find you too!
DeleteKatherine, thank you for your generosity! I have read your book, and enjoyed it very much!
ReplyDeleteNature inspires me. Watching my cats and interacting with them inspires me. I feel such a part of the whole when I do that. And my husband inspires me. His love and his ability to let of resentments make me want to be a better person.
Nature and animals are great inspirations! It sounds like you have a wonderful husband! I'm glad you enjoyed the book.
DeleteI find Mother Nature inspiring. I posted a picture on Facebook today of this one single cloud hovering near the sun and i just found that to be incredibly inspiring. Beautiful post my friend.
ReplyDeleteYes, simple things like a cloud or the sun inspire me too. Nature is a big inspiration!
DeleteI loved your book and always tell my friends to buy it. I find yoga very inspiring, in calming my mind and body as well as opening up my creativity. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of yoga and meditation. Thanks for being so supportive Karen!
