GiveAway: CSfS Tough Times Tough People

How is your day going? Have you had a few bumps and bruises these days? I know that economically we are all going through some tough times. Everyone I know is looking on how to save, scrimp and make it one more day.
Of course tough times are in many forms. One family I know of right now is sitting at their 7 month old daughters bed. Waiting. Not knowing if the Doctors and staff are going to be able to help heal her damaged heart. I so understand the fear they have and the deep love for their child as they sit and wait.
Of course Princess Emma and the Grandbabes look at tough times as a day with an empty cookie jar. Heck, I even hate a day like that. But what do we do in tough times? How do we hold on? What motivates us to get up again. Too keep trying for one more step, day, event?

I think it is part in knowing we are not here alone. We have God beside us, often carrying us through. Our family and friends are often in the very same boat with us. Mostly helping us row with that one oar that is left. People have done this before us...and came through stronger. We can grow and have patience and strength by hearing their stories. In Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People there are many of these such stories. And an abundance of hope, faith, love and trust within the same pages. Stories that lift us up. Stories that teach us lessons. Most often stories that touch our own souls.
And....the best part! We are going to share these stories. Yes, once again I have been graced with 3 of the Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People to giveaway. So if you would like to get a copy then just leave me comment. I ask that you tell me something about making it. What gets you through your tough times? What was some of your hardest challenges? You can get more entries by doing a few of the following things. You can follow Chicken Soup for the Soul on Facebook.

I found another good one at Willow Lake Scents!
I met her through my FB day at SITS.
And she has yummy candles to give to us.

This is the AWESOME Electric Candle that Misty has agreed to give one of Willow Lake Scents lucky blog readers ! It comes with a tin plate, pip berry garland & bulb. And, guess what ~ the winner can choose ANY scent & color they want !!
MADE FRESH !!
M-D Candles website.
Misty uses only 100% Soy wax in all her products as well as 100% natural cotton wicks. A HUGE turn-off for me is buying a candle that doesn't completely melt ~ you know, you light the candle & it burns completely down the center leaving a ton of wax in its wake. M-D Candles have a teriffic melt pool & burn COMPLETELY !! That's another big selling point for me ~ No wasted wax.
Go enter ASAP!

Make sure I have your name, link to blog or email so I can notify the winner. I will draw for a winner on Halloween so one of you get a treat that day. And we will leave the tricks for the others. When I am done I will use the scientific measures of drawing your name from a hat. I will use Nessa as my official judge to make sure I am fair. Good luck!
