Special Guest on Wednesday April 25

by Meredith Efken

On April 25th, Violet Voices will play host to a very special lady. She’s world-famous, but many people don’t know the real her. Her story begins in Mozambique as the daughter of an oncologist. The story winds through her years as a stay-at-home mom and her marriages to two well-known men. But it’s not a story about them. It’s about her–and her passion to see the lives of women bettered. It’s about her dedication on behalf of children and her concern about leaving this world God has given us a better place than when we found it. She speaks five languages, loves to cook, and has been known to stay up late at night blogging. She’s a mom, a philanthropist, an author, a wife, and an advocate for those who don’t have a strong voice.

I’ve personally met her and found her to be someone to admire and a person who is generous, warm, and insightful. And she’s coming to OUR blog!!!

You really won’t want to miss this. So to get the word out, I’m inviting you in the next 48 hours to take your best guess about who my special guest is. Register on the blog, and leave a comment with your guess. All registered commenters who have a correct guess will be put into a drawing for a small prize.

If you already know the answer, go ahead and leave a comment anyway, but don’t give away the answer for everyone else. You can contact me if you want to be included in the contest.

Also, please let your friends know about this special event, too. You can email this post to them by using the link at the end of the post.

See you all on Wednesday!

    I know who it is but I don’t want to ruin anyone’s guess…so I’ll email you my answer :)

  2. Pattie:

    and…I can’t wait to read what she has to say!

  3. Meredith Efken:

    LOL, Pattie! You weren’t one of the ones I was expecting might know. Either you are very astute, or I wasn’t quite as subtle as I was hoping to be. (My bet is on both.) Either way, YES, email me!

  4. Kajudy:

    I think I know, but don’t want to ruin it for others… guess I will answer privately.

  5. Meredith Efken:

    LOL, Kajudy! Now the pressure is on–no one’s going to want to answer for fear they might get it RIGHT! That’s okay. Email me. :) :) :) This is making my boring afternoon much more entertaining.

  6. Barbara:

    just emailed my guess to you -
