So last night, I was on the computer, thinking about writing an essay that was due today..(I finished it don't worry) and I decided that checking my email would be more important.. and it was.
As I heard the sweet ol' voice say to me, "You've got mail," I quickly clicked on the envelope that survived holding twelve emails without tearing. I went down the list of the usual mail... (so and so tagged you on Facebook, look at the deals on Hot Topic, Oh look Groupon has another great deal, someone is following you on Pinterest..) and so on.. until I came across an email that was from TOMS. I usually receive emails from TOMS headquarters because I signed up that I wanted notifications from them because I love them so I thought it was just a heads up about the new stock of TOMS that were in.. but I was wrong..
It was a congratulatory email that was sent to me stating that I had won a spot in the Books For Bloggers Program for TOMS!! What is this? Well I'll tell you of course: It's a program for bloggers (duh) and what happens is TOMS will send me two copies of Blake's "Start Something That Matters" book for free! Then, I have to obviously read this marvelous book and then blog about it. After blogging about it's awesomeness that I will reveal to the world, I also have to advertise it on Amazon to get the word out.
But wait.. what will you do with the other copy Karlye? Glad you asked you curious reader.... With the second copy, I will be hosting a contest on Twitter and/or Facebook, and whoever wins this contest that I conjure up myself will win the second copy for free.
I'm just so stoked to have this opportunity to spread the word about starting something that matters. I think this book is going to inspire more and more people to give rather than receive. Also, the fact that I'm kind of working with TOMS is such a reward and a blessing. I never thought I would get the position but God proved me wrong.
Okay.. I'm done bragging about my awesome accomplishment now :)
I think that is awesome! How was the book?
ReplyDeleteThanks!! It was AWESOME!! I absolutely loved it!! I'll be posting a contest soon to win a free, untouched copy of it on facebook, twitter... any social network lol.
