I would like to wish all of you a very blessed Thanksgiving! Art of Eloquence usually gives away a gift for Thanksgiving and this year is no exception. We gave away The Word on Thanksgiving to all of our newsletter subscribers earlier this week. If you were not subscribed, you should be because we give away free gifts, exclusive offers and advanced notice of sales, events and products all year long! However, we are giving you a second chance to get this adorably illustrated powerful book on thankfulness! Just join our Art of Eloquence fan club on Facebook and you will have access to it all this week. But do hurry, we will be taking the link down after this...
