“Me gusta el video mucho! Great job. I am trying to teach my kids a little Spanish” …

It was another wonderful Sunday morning at Calvary Baptist Church in Clearwater, FL today.  I had missed two Sundays with Pastor Willy Rice, and it felt like months since I had heard him share the word of the Lord.

Now don’t get me wrong…I read my Bible often, I refer to Scripture a lot more than ever before during these challenging times, and I talk with fellow Christians about our Father and how he will provide, how he will be here for us.  But it just felt good to worship this morning with my church family and to soak in Pastor Willy’s words about “What’s in Your Wallet?”

As we enter this week of Thanksgiving I want to thank God for the talents he gave me to be such a patient and loving mom, a wonderful wife full of appreciation and love, a caring sister and friend who listens and communicates with kindness and above all I thank Him for leading me to a life full of Christ.

I thank all of you who have put your belief in my Boca Beth product line, who have shared your children and their love of learning, and who continue to stand by me as I find my way along this journey of being a good business woman at the same time being a kind Christian.

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the week and year and lifetime ahead -

Value of this Giveaway package is $45.00

We had 124 responses to our recent giveaway that features our Boca Beth bilingual music CDs, Spanish and English DVDs for kids, two BOCA the puppets and language teacher/amigo, our 44-page bilingual book that brings coloring, activity fun and language learning all together PLUS a mini maraca and egg shaker all contained neatly inside of a canvas child-sized Boca Beth Backpack!

Did you miss entering the contest?  No worries.  Another one starts tomorrow, Tuesday, 11.18.08!!!

In the meantime, please join me in congratulating Sharon Martinez who has 8 grandchildren.  Sharon never really took the time to teach her own children Spanish and now is committed to helping her children’s children learn her native language.  Join me in cheering her on for her efforts and for being the winner of this terrific bilingual educational set of FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!

Wondering how we choose the winner….we print off the names, paper cut them into strips, fold up the strips of paper, put them into a sombrero and then ask our Executive Producer (my husband, Dennis) to select one piece of paper.  It’s that random of a selection process.  So YOU could win next time.

On a less fun note, but one that I must ask for your help on…..the only way I have been able to stay in business during these difficult times is by being kind and candid in my communications.  I need to ask all of you to never burn my CDs or DVDs to share with friends and if you lend out my products to others, please make sure they realize that burning CDs and DVDs is first of all illegal and second of all will be the thing that puts a small business owner out of business very quickly.

Thanks so much.  Gracias.  I know I can count on you all to help me through these challenging times.

Happy Educating!  ¡ Sea feliz educando!

WIN all three of the Boca Beth bilingual music CDs that have won various parenting and education awards along with our two full length bilingual DVDs that feature BOCA the puppet as the language amigo for children around the world and our 44-page Spanish & English language learning book that homeschooling parents use daily and teachers love to reproduce for classroom use and stay-at-home moms carry with them in the diaper bag for the older sibling to keep busy with.

Oh, and did I mention that also in this Gigante Prize Bag you will receive not just one, but TWO of the BOCA puppets along with a mini maraca and brightly colored egg shaker?!?!?!?  All together the value is $74.99!!!

As Oprah said, “It’s Big, Bold and Beautiful!” 

The election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of our United States of America took place last night … were you there witnessing history?

No matter which candidate you cast your vote for you had to be drawn to the magnitude that this election and its results means to our nation.
