Good Deed = Good FREE stuff for YOU!


My dear friend, DeAnn, did something really really brave for this new year.

She let some of her friends "encourage" her to make a video and enter it into the "YEAR OR YOU" contest.

If she wins, she'll get to experience Fitness Ridge this year.
I know too well what this can do for a person.

And DeAnn deserves this.
She's ready for it.
I SO want this for her.

You might not know DeAnn (a shame, really) but watch her video and you'll know everything you need to know.

And then PLEASE VOTE for her and encourage others you know on facebook and on your blogs to vote for her.

SO, go here and look for "DeAnn Hansen".
THEN. VOTE.

Need more incentive than just the good feelings you'll have for doing a good deed?

I'm doing a giveaway!
(it's been way too long since I did one)


Leave a message here letting me know you voted.
AND if you somehow helped spread the word to let others know you voted, let me know that too.
You'll get one entry for each good deed.

What's the prize?
The first prize everyone will get just for entering is this amazing feeling knowing you helped DeAnn. Really. That's a great prize.

But, I'll be giving away:

a $50 gift card to my favorite store...that would be TARGET. That I hope you'll use to somehow enjoy THE YEAR OF YOU for YOU! (a new workout outfit or weights or yoga dvds...whatever makes you happy).












an EVERY STEP cd from HILARY WEEKS that has some of the best "come on, you can do it! you can change your life this year" songs I've ever experienced.














a TIME OUT FOR WOMEN 2011 TOUR dvd that includes my "The Faith Experiment" message on it (and a whole lotta other great messages).
















This is a serious giveaway because I'm super serious about this.
Really I am.

SO...
Ready? GO! VOTE
(and spread the word about DeAnn and you can even spread the word about this giveaway on my blog so we have even more people spreading the word).

Comments about your good deed must be submitted by midnight Saturday, January 7th.
Winners will be announced Sunday night, January 8th.

GOOD LUCK!
(and thanks, truly, for helping this important effort)

Laurel---I went to facebook and voted for your friend DeAnn. Her video brought me to tears and hope and pray that she gets this experience so that she can find what she is capable of! I am have shared a link to your blog as well as to the video and voting site (not because of the giveaway, although I would love to win) but because I want DeAnn to have this opportunity!

Not really, but wouldn't that be awesome?!
