THE GODDESS BOOK DONATION PROGRAM

You're invited to give the magic healing of The Goddess to people in need ... and/or suggest groups to receive donations!

I know that this Goddess story has healing power. I've felt it from the start, and I consistently hear it from others.

So I want to get to people who need that healing ... even those who can't buy it for themselves!

What a difference it could make in their lives at a critical time!

Can you imagine a woman, finding herself in a woman's shelter or recovery center, feeling so low about herself and life? We all know those feelings of dark times.

Then she discovers this Goddess book on the organization's shelves. As she pages through the beauty of its pages, and hears the divine love sent directly to her core ... she feels its sweet and nurturing story touch something deep within her.

Could it perhaps help her feel loved by the Divine and a little more connected to her divine core? What difference might that make on her life journey and what she does next?

This is not just theory! See the real life example below.

PLANNED DONATION RECIPIENTS: You're welcome to suggest your favorite groups who you think might like a gift of The Goddess. Or make a request from your own organization!

I'm especially looking to donate to groups with a reference library who serve people in need ... such as women's shelters, homeless shelters, recovery centers, and bookmobiles. I've also given to Secret Santa programs. And I'm open to other ideas!

Read below for more about how you can join the fun ... so the healing of the Goddess can reach and serve even more people!

HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE

1) DONATE BOOKS

You can help me spread the book's healing to people who might not otherwise have access to it! You just buy the book(s) from me at a very steep discount (basically my direct costs) ... and I'll make the arrangements and deliver the book(s) to the groups serving these folks in need!

You can even request the group, or type of group, that receive your donation books. And I'll let you know when your book(s) have been delivered ... and even mail you the group's receipt, if you want! Easy-peasy!

The cost for donating a book in this program is the notably discounted rate of $14 per book total. Basically my direct costs for the book and mailing it! I take care of all the legwork of finding appropriate groups, identifying their procedures, and getting the books to them.

And if you donate five or more books, your donation is only $11 each!

What a simple but powerful way to support people who are feeling the burden of life's challenges ... and maybe even help set a positive direction in their lives. Doesn't that sound fun?

WHEN YOU DONATE A BOOK ... REQUESTS YOU CAN MAKE IN YOUR ORDER
* IF YOU WANT THE BOOK GIVEN IN YOUR NAME. I'll do send is as a gift from you, and note your name below, unless you ask it to be given as Anonymous.
* IF YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR RECIPIENT. Do you want the book to go to a specific group or type of group?
* IF YOU WANT YOUR DONATION TO BE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE. If you do, I'll choose a group that offers that, and forward the organization's donation receipt to you. Note that not all organizations have that status, so this would reduce the recipient options.

A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE

The Goddess book also had an amazing journey inside a woman’s jail.

A woman who loved The Goddess decided to gift a copy of it to her pen pal inside a women’s jail. I sent the book to this inmate via the jail library, which is the procedure with a hardcover book.

Now, surely folks in such a setting would be too tough to want such a sweet story, right?

But, a short time later, the inmate wrote to my ally.

“I read the book twice and I love it. It is a healing book. The author did an awesome job.

I also passed it around to the women on the pod to read; they all loved it.

So it has already touched a lot of lives. I thank you for getting it for all of us.”

About two weeks later, the inmate wrote to my ally again:

"Yes everyone loves the book. :-) It is being read all over the yard -- 1,400 inmates."

I got chills. How amazing and delightful that one book could connect with so many people ... and in this challenging place!

In sharing this story with me, my ally added, “I think this is amazing. Your book is creating ripples already. Can we create some more?”

Then she asked her pen pal if a few of the inmates might like to send books to their children, as her Christmas gift. Eight mothers said yes, and we sent copies of The Goddess to their children!!

My ally heard back that they too were delighted at the gift of The Goddess!

And I had so much joy from being part of getting this book to more people that it could serve!

This affirms for me the deeply healing nurturing sweetness of this book. That’s just what I hoped it would be!
