Far Away Friends [giveaway]

NOTE: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!

Long time no talk, huh? I guess I just kind of got side tracked these past few days! But even with my absence, you all have remained incredibly active in your commenting, emailing, and checking in on me…and I really couldn’t be more appreciative.

I know this seems to be the only thing I talk about lately but I just don’t know any other way to express how truly grateful I am to have made connections with so many of you. Some people say online friendships aren’t “real” or “don’t count”….but that is far from how I feel about the people I have met through my blog. I feel like I know some of you better than I know people I have gone to school with for years. The commonalities we all share and the open minded, non judgmental community I have been introduced to through you all is truly awe inspiring.

Not to say I didn’t feel loved or supported before, but the way you all responded to my accident and how much you have all reached out to me over the past week has really blown my mind! I seriously feel like I have hundreds of best friends. My heart is full and my head still can’t really comprehend how much kindness I am fortunate enough to experience.

So I will say it again..thank you, friends.

Just another example of the generosity I’ve been experiencing lately…

My girl Haley surprised me with the most AMAZING care package today! Seriously girl, I cannot thank you enough! I will be smiling for weeks! Not only is the stuff you sent AMAZING…but just the gesture in itself is so selfless and thoughtful.

Why can’t there be more people like you all in the world?!

Since I’ve been treated to so many treats, messages, and love lately…I wanted to return the favor in a way with…

A GIVEAWAY!

Remember the Thunderbird Energetica bars I raved about a few weeks back? The ones that tasted like mint chocolate icecream in bar form? The ones that inspired this recipe?
