Off to the Blanco Lavender Festival


It's hard to believe it's time for another Blanco Lavender Festival. I can't wait to sit in the lavender fields again and see all my lavender friends.

I'll be speaking/signing/goofing off/whatever at Hill Country Lavender on Saturday, June 13th at 10:30 a.m. (Click here for directions and more info about Hill Country Lavender's schedule of events.)

At 2:00 on that same Saturday, I'll be speaking at the Old Blanco County Courthouse, on the square in Blanco. (Click here for more details on all the festival fun).

I think you'll have a blast at the festival; it's a great time to revel in lavender and to see the Hill Country at its best.

Seed Campaign Recipient for June

Some people just have the right attitude--like the parents of Samantha Garcia. Samanta was born premature four years ago and developed cerebral palsy; her parents looked at this not as a tragedy but as an opportunity to do something meaningful. That's when they created Samantha's Purpose, a non-profit that provides financial assistance to the parents of children with special needs who require therapy but are not eligible for governmental assistance.

I'm proud to be donating funds from the Seed Campaign to Samantha's Purpose during the month of June. She and her parents prove that often you can't change what happens to you in life, but you can change how you look at what happens to you. This is a theme of my book, but to be honest I think Samantha's parents demonstrate it better than I ever did!

Remember How It Works

If you've got to buy things, why not make each dollar go farther and help someone else in the process? If you buy your Amazon products through my website, you can be doing good when so many people are in need (and donations are down for many non-profits.) On my home page, click on "Buy the Book," which will take you to Amazon.

Once you're at Amazon, either buy my book (smile! thanks!) or find another product to buy. Amazon will return a commission on any item purchased to the Seed Campaign. EASY!

Thanks for your warm and gracious support--Jeannie
