Happy new year dear readers!!! May this year be filled with happiness, love, and success for you all! I am excited for what 2014 has in store, both professionally as well as personally. I am also excited for some upcoming collaborations that are in the process of being established for my blog! 😀 More details to come soon!
It’s been 30 whole days since my last blog post! Can you believe that?! In my defense, I have been busy with work-related activities; specifically, writing (manuscripts and a grant)…you know, my bread and butter. Well, let’s just say my bread, because I don’t really care for butter. 😉 In academia, you must publish or perish, so I have been actively trying not to perish!
Anyhow, being that it is the first day of the year, I wanted to make sure I posted today and also remind you that I had some unfinished business pending with some of you!! You may or may not remember that I was to announce the winner of the book ‘Lean In‘ giveaway the first week of December. For those of you who missed out, read up on the giveaway here!
Well, what had happened was… Haha, just kidding! Seriously, though. I had planned to give away my personal copy of the book. Then, I decided, why not try to get books for ALL the readers who commented on my blog post?? How Oprah of me would THAT be??!
So…guess what?? If you commented on that post (I also have a list, if you need to make sure), THEN:
Exciting, right??!! I was able to negotiate getting books donated for all those that commented, so it is no expense to me OR you!!
Anyhow, I wanted to make sure to get this news out on the first of the year…you know, to help get your year started off right. 🙂 Email me at chicinacademia@gmail.com to claim your book! Books will be mailed before the end of the month.
Finally, I want to take a moment to thank you all again for your continued support and readership! 2013 was an amazing year for my blog, so I can only imagine how much better it will get in 2014!
Cheers to you all and Happy New Year!!!!
