Fun things first. In honor of this third anniversary, I’m giving away one copy of Caring Lessons: A Nursing Professor’s Journey of Faith and Self.

All you have to do to qualify for a drawing is make a comment on this post. On Wednesday, September 25, I will randomly select one winner, contact that winner for mailing address, then mail an autographed copy.

And here is a ten minute audio post that I’ve made on this anniversary. Included is a reading of a vignette from Caring Lessons. Listen to the above.

For blog accounts of the history of Caring Lessons, read here about the day the boxes of 1000 copies arrived and read here about the one year anniversary.

Last year, on the second anniversary, I was involved with helping plan the 50th reunion of my school of nursing class and also it was a time when my nurse-sister was dying from lung cancer. I did not have a celebratory anniversary note about Caring Lessons.

So don’t forget, leave a comment today to enter your name in a drawing for a free copy of Caring Lessons: A Nursing Professor’s Journey of Faith and Self. And remember all proceeds from sales of Caring Lessons go to freshman nursing scholarships at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois.
