With each blog post I publish, I am constantly humbled by the support of my readers. What began over four years ago with me following the advice of my therapist to type and journal my feelings as I work through my grief, has turned into my ministry. A ministry to share my story of tragic loss and God’s amazing love in hopes of encouraging others and honoring my husband in Heaven, Mike.
As a way to say thank you to my readers I would like to do a fun giveaway. The purpose of this giveaway is not only to bless my readers with a really cool product, but also to share and support an awesome business which has a mission close to my heart.
“THIN BLUE WINE CELLARS has a great love for their Family, their Country and Wine! Dave is a retired Sheriff’s Sergeant (29 years) and Michele is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps (KC-130 Mechanic). The themes for TBWC bottles will be proudly pro-American, unapologetically pro-Law Enforcement, absolutely pro-First Responder and unashamedly pro-Military. Most importantly, a portion of all sales will be donated to charities supporting families of fallen officers and Marines.”
I am excited to give away a bottle of their Thin Blue Wine, as well as a bottle of their Red Wine and Blue. Both are a 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon. Two readers will be randomly chosen.
