Anniversary Music Giveaways!
Today is our 21st wedding anniversary and I’m so grateful to be married to such a sweet, kind, loving and supportive husband. He has always allowed me to pursue what I love and encouraged me in my personal and spiritual growth. I am so thankful!
In honor of our special day, I thought it would be a lovely opportunity to share some gifts with friends you care about! This is how it works… Nominate a loving couple that you admire by writing their names in the comments section below (also explain why you nominated them) and I will randomly pick 5 couples and send them my ‘Birds of Love’ digital album download (the CD is on the theme of love and marriage). I will announce the winners in the next couple of days.
Last year I posted a blog called ‘100 tips for a Happy and Healthy Marriage’ which consists of tips that all my friends contributed to. I wanted to share it again as a reminder to all of us of what makes a marriage successful. Enjoy!
NOTE: Congratulations to the winners of the giveaway. Results are posted on another blog.

Happy Anniversary! Sounds like you Elika and your sweet kind loving supportive husband would qualify as a most admirable couple… but then, you probably already have access to the prizes. So I’ll nominate another great couple, who I first met some 35 years ago, while they were pioneering on an Indian reservation in Montana. They have been through a lot together, and are as much of a joy to be around now as they ever were, full of kindness and wisdom and smiling eyes. I nominate Bob and Judy Rinehart in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
