#TheGreatChristmasGiveaway

Looking at those who have already been nominated, I am going to nominate @TheBookHippie She gives so much time to Litsy & especially for the #SundayBuddyRead. She has so many passionate causes and stays true to her own values and principles, and feeds regularly the most needy in the local community! She is passionate about her children at the school and will give her last breath educating, feeding & supporting them.

Andrew65 I feel truly privileged to know her and call her a special friend. 3y
TheBookHippie Oh my word 😭😭🤍🤍🤍Ack my heart. Thank you for this😘. You made me cry 🤍 Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world‘s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it. We have a duty to relieve the distress and promote equality in all matters of life🤍✌🏻 3y
Crazeedi A perfect choice Andrew! @TheBookHippie ❤❤ 3y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Wasn‘t the reaction I expected, hopefully they were happy tears. We are spending some time during all this trying to produce a curriculum based on equity and diversity. I‘m one of three heads in our local authority working on this. We will be leading training on this for all other school leaders in the Authority on this in late January. 3y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi Thanks 🥰 3y
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 so touched 🤍🤍🤍I cry when happy 😜 3y
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 Diversity in education is my heart as you know. Thirty plus year battle so far. I do see good changes. 3y
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie We are looking to implement major changes, I see big things ahead! This is rooted in equity and high performance for all, seeking to eradicate inequalities. By the end it will the culmination of my career in education and hopefully if we get it right what I will be most proud of, ahead of our School Inspection Outstanding judgement at last inspection. 3y
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 🤍🤍🤍🤍how exciting !!! 3y
Chrissyreadit @Andrew65 what a beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul @TheBookHippie has been so inspirational and a a super star. 3y
Chrissyreadit Also it is exciting to be implementing a curriculum that reflects diversity ❤️❤️❤️ 3y
Andrew65 @Chrissyreadit Hasn‘t she just! 3y
Andrew65 @Chrissyreadit Challenging our thinking and our knowledge, but great to be leading on this wonderful movement. 3y

I want to nominate @TrishB - she never complains, but I have noticed wisps of annoyance during lockdown. I remember how she agreed with something I said about buying a book on refugees for my hardheaded, narrow-minded family members. It's been awhile since the discussion (2 years) so I am sure she has forgotten. But, I haven't. She made me feel that my opinion matters and never give up sharing empathy. #thegreatChristmasGiveaway @Mommamanzi

BarbaraBB Yes, @TrishB is one of my favorites too 💖 3y
Chrissyreadit 🙌❤️👏🥳👏❤️🙌 what a beautiful memory and feeling! 3y
TrishB Thank you so much, your opinion matters, always❤️❤️ and I‘m pretty sure I‘ve shown more than wisps of annoyance, but we‘re all struggling sometimes. Keep on being you 😘 3y
TrishB @BarbaraBB @Chrissyreadit ♥️♥️ to you two 3y

When I think of special friends I‘ve made on Litsy, @BarbaraBB comes right to mind. She has been an amazing friend to me, especially during the pandemic. She took me on a virtual tour of Amsterdam, which really lifted my spirits. She is also quick with helpful advice.

She‘s a vibrant member of this community from co-hosting reading the USA, Europe, and now Asia to sharing books by mail to writing insightful reviews. #thegreatchristmasgiveaway

Cinfhen I couldn‘t agree more with your choice!!!! I‘m all about #TeamBarbaraBB 3y

There are so many people deserving of #TheGreatChristmasGiveaway being hosted by @Mommamanzi but I feel like I want to single out one person in particular @Megabooks who has been through so much this year, yet she still manages to be a supportive and cheerful presence on Litsy every day. Meg never sugarcoats her struggles & she‘s always the first to rejoice in other‘s good fortunes. She‘s bright, articulate, compassionate & my personal #AudioGuru

Cinfhen To all my other friends, much much much love for you all xxx 3y
Chrissyreadit @Megabooks I need to pay more attention to your audio recs! 3y
squirrelbrain How lovely - Meg definitely deserves such wonderful words! 3y

Centique I totally agree with your @Megabooks nomination. Meg I‘ve just been quietly in the background thinking how strong and optimistic you‘ve been! Kia kaha (much strength to you💕) 3y
Megabooks @Centique thank you so much!! 💜💜 I do my best to uplift as many people as possible, and I appreciate how this community has been here for me. We all have struggles, and I know from mine that it helps to be seen. 3y
Cinfhen I actually wanted to nominate #HisElderliness too @Centique and I‘d like to send him a little note should I send it in your care?? 3y
Centique @Cinfhen oh how lovely you are! Yes please - send it to me and I‘ll pass it on. 💕 3y
Cinfhen I don‘t feel right, addressing your dad as #HisElderliness, Paula. Can you please share his sir name @Centique You can share it on Litsy or kindly email it to me 🧡😊 3y

I‘ve made so many wonderful friends here and been encouraged, supported and inspired by so many of you - but today my thoughts go to the best penpal ever @DGRachel She‘s the best. I love her letters. They‘re full of feelings and honesty and life and celebrations. They‘re like spending time with your oldest friend that you‘ve not seen for ages. Thank you Rachel xx

DGRachel 😭😭😭 You are too kind. Love you!😘 3y
Chrissyreadit @DGRachel share some penal tips? I‘m very rusty....😘🎄 (edited) 3y
DGRachel @Chrissyreadit My only tip is to be your honest, authentic self. I overshare...a lot. My shortest letter to Mitch is four pages. My first letter might have been three. I am beyond blessed that Mitch tolerates my endless babble and is patient with me when it takes me a month or two to find the right mental space to write. 🤣🤣 3y
Chrissyreadit @DGRachel ❤️❤️❤️I love that. I‘m always scared of over sharing cause I‘m an open book. 3y

Such a nice idea @Mommamanzi ❤️

I would like to nominate @Coleen_Nieto
Last year she reached out after I put up something about my health and kept in touch with me after that! Was amazing to have a stranger reach out like that from what was a kind of cryptic post 😉😀❤️
#thegreatchristmasgiveaway

Chrissyreadit @Mommamanzi has really helped highlight the power of litsy in connecting people in powerful ways❤️ 3y
Coleen_Nieto @Jerdencon you are the sweetest person! Thank you for your kind words! I think sometimes our paths cross because we are meant to help one another in some way. You have supported and helped me too. I'm so glad we connected! 3y
