Lara Howard

teaching women to think on true things

May 31, 2011 By Lara

blog launch party {and a giveaway}


Click here if you are having trouble viewing the video.



You want some more exciting news? Can you handle it? Everyone who subscribes to my blog by Monday, June 6th, will be entered into a giveaway. {Enter girly squeals here} I figure, it’s a party so we have to give out a “sursie” (a.k.a., fun, unexpected treat).



So click one of the following links to subscribe. Then comment below telling me that you did subscribe, and you will automatically be entered to win. (Winner will be announced on Wednesday, June 8th.)


Click here to subscribe by email. (My posts will come straight to your inbox.)

Click here to subscribe in a reader. (If you don’t know what a reader is then you probably don’t typically use one.)



If you are like me then you just skimmed that paragraph above. So one more time, SUBSCRIBE AND THEN COMMENT BELOW. If you do not comment after subscribing you will not be entered to win the giveaway. And believe me you don’t want to miss this.



Now for the sursie. My dear, real-life, inspirational, HILARIOUS friend, Kelly Swanson, has graciously donated a copy of her book to our launch party. Check her out online at www.KellySwanson.net. {Thank you, Kelly!}


Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale?
How to hang on to humor when life doesn’t go the way you planned

Join Kelly as she takes you on her twisted path to happily-ever-after. Each chapter of this book will make you laugh and give you good solid advice on how to find your way back to happy when you fall into one of those pot holes along the yellow brick road. Discussion questions are located at the end of each chapter.



It also wouldn’t be a proper blog launch without a prayer of commitment. I have done this personally but would love for you to join me in dedicating this cyber-space to Him.


“Father, You alone are the worthy One. You alone are life to us. We give this little place back to you acknowledging that unless you open our hearts, unless you give us sight, we will be left in the dark. Fill us full, o Lord, fill us full…to overflowing.”
