GIVEAWAY SATURDAY
*** Congrats to MovieMomma and GaHome2Mom, comments #49 and 68***
These days I have to force myself to read the newspaper. Every day brings more news of layoffs, cut backs, bankruptcies, and stock market decline. It's hard to feel hopeful, to look to the future with such persistent negativity and so I look to other sources to keep up my optimism.
Andy Andrew's newest book, The Noticer, is designed to bring us back hope. It is a mix of memoir, fiction, and inspirational writing and aims to teach its readers that a new perspective can bring happiness and abundance. Although Andrews is the bestselling author of The Traveler's Gift, he is no stranger to tough times. His manuscript was passed over 50 times before becoming an International bestseller, and he spent some time homeless, living under a pier.
The Noticer has also sparked a viral movement called the Noticer Project. Participants worldwide take a step back from their hectic lives to "recognize" five people who have made a positive impact on their lives. You can recognize your Five by whatever method seems most fitting: with a handwritten letter, by email, on your blog, on the Noticer Project website, or even by leaving a comment on this post!
Today for giveaway I have two copies of the Noticer to spread a little hope and optimism around. To enter to win, just leave me a comment here by Friday, May 23 with the five people in your life you would like to "notice". I'll select the winners at random that night. As usual, you can get extra chances to win by linking to this contest on your blog, and subscribing to my feeds for Chefdruck Musings and Chefdruck Reviews. You can also Tweet about it for an extra entry.
And if you're wondering who my five are... they are without further ado:
- My grandmother, Lola, who taught me that not even war can stand in the way of a strong woman.
- My husband, Steve, who taught me how to laugh at myself.
- My mother in law, Joan, who turned an independent oldest child into the spoiled baby of another family.
- My mother, Chantal, who showed me that there is always something to be learned, no matter how mindless the job.
- My sister, Jessica, who introduced me to the joys of blogging.

I'd love to read this book. Here are my five people:
1.) my mother - she has struggled through a lifetime of hardships and she has never weakened her resolve and has always stood strong
2.)Angela of Barefoot Mommies - she was a tremendous help in getting me started with my own blog
3.) Ruby (a cook at my old job) - little old lady with spunk and sparkle. She made me feel special.
4.) my husband - He was, and still is, definitely a blessing from God and he's been with me through thick and thin
5.) my children (all six of them) - they show unconditional love and acceptance of me and show me a wonderful world through their eyes
