November 2005 thru to February 2006
The Great "Ceiling News" Contest
Does the media only know how to focus on tragedy? Of course it's important to report terrible events because for many of us, these events affect us directly, but sometimes they can be overwhelming & discouraging & in that discouragement we forget that there are good news stories out there too. Lately, I have found there is a big imbalance this way & I NEED to hear some positive things going on around the world so that I can replenish my spirit. Therefore, what I propose is for you to send stories to me about Great Things that Are Going On! So, you'll have to pay attention to the positive stories floating around, great events that are occurring, things that inspire, or give hope, or make you giggle with delight! It could be a wonderful website, a great quote, a positive story about our environment or humanity, some tips on feeling good or doing good deeds or being more conscious about this beautiful earth...the sky's the limit. The only rule, this "news" has to be current. If you send me a minimum of 3 good news tidbits, your name will be automatically entered into the contest. When it is finished, I will randomly pull one of the names out of the hat for a prize!
For example, here are my "ceiling news" pieces:
Here's the prize:
Heart Pendant Beads!
And the winner is Christina Vandervlist ~ congratulations Christina!
