Challenge #107--Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of Celebrate by Sharing Your DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE…Midway
Hey folks! Welcome back
to the Path of
Positivity Challenge Blog! It is the third Monday of the month and that means that it is time to present the midway for Challenge #107. It is my fond hope that each of you and your own
families
continue to stay
well wherever it is you live in this big wide world of ours. If you celebrate, I hope that you are ready for Christmas. It is hard to believe it will be here this coming Sunday!
As we are a unique kind of challenge blog, it is important for you to understand how things work. Please be sure to check out the START POST FOUND HERE for the specific details related to this month's challenge, and you can find out all the general details you need to know in order to participate, by clicking on the 'Challenge Details' tab (located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a summary of the most important rules can now be found in the right sidebar under the heading 'General Rules'.
Right now, it is time to continue with our midway. Here is a refresher of the details for our current twist:
Challenge #107
Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of
Celebrate by Sharing Your Dreams for the Future
For this past year, our goal has been to encourage you all to celebrate the positive around us.
As we finish out the year, we thought it would be good time to look
ahead. As such, if you would like to participate in the optional twist
this month, we want you to design a creation
that focuses on Celebrating by Sharing Your DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE.
We
all have dreams...or at least we should have. Sometimes it feels like
we'll never get there, or we find obstacle after obstacle in our way
that prevents us from accomplishing them. However, these roadblocks
should never interfere with the idea of at least having dreams. When we dream, we set our sights on something much bigger than ourselves. We
may not be able to fulfill every dream we have but we can at least try
and work towards those dreams in the ways we are able to--making changes
and taking actions that bring us closer to fulfilling them. Doing so gives us a sense of accomplishment, even if our dreams don't come true. It
is about driving one's self to be the best person we can be because we
know that there is so much more out there for us to explore and
accomplish, if we are simply willing to put
in the effort to get there. The mere act of dreaming can have all sorts
of
positive impacts on our life. So, start thinking about where your own
dreams can take you. You just never know what big changes may happen
when you do!
If
you want to follow the optional twist this month, spend a little time
coming up with, or refining, your vision for a better tomorrow. It is
time to share with the
world, Your DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE.
Remember,
the twist is completely optional and you don't need to follow it in
order to win. However, in order to be considered eligible for this
month's goodies, remember that general types of projects/posts will not
qualify for the honours and prize UNLESS they are also positive, inspirational,
motivational or encouraging in some nature. Additionally, even if a project may qualify as positive, if your post
promotes negativity, hatred or anything of an abhorrent nature, your
project will be disqualified. Honours and Prize include:
- $6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
- A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.
To help inspire you further down the path of Celebrating by Sharing Your DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE,
check out the wonderful projects my Design Team had the opportunity to
create. Clicking on each team member's name will take you to their blog
where
you can check out the details for their inspirational creations.
Thanks again to my fabulous design team! As always, each of them have
their own exceptional approaches and concepts which impress me to no end. Each of
these creations has demonstrated the theme of Celebrating by Sharing Their DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE admirably,
and I hope we have encouraged you throughout this challenge to come up
with your own piece of handiwork. Be sure to go and visit these talented
ladies so you can see just how their
projects tie in to the twist.
Why not join us, if you haven't entered already? Create a project and/or post that is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature and join our link up. How about stretching yourself by also opting to
follow the twist?! I personally have more DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
than I can list here but one is the desire to travel--to Scotland
(paternal side of family), France (maternal side of family) and of
course Hawaii (seriously, who doesn't dream of going to Hawaii at least
once in their lives)! While I don't see how even one of those trips will
be possible, given a number of factors in my life, it doesn't stop me
from dreaming. A more realistic dream is to open my own online business
within the next year. Finding the time to get all the tasks necessary
for accomplishing this is daunting but I am not giving up on the idea,
and work towards it bit by bit as I am able to. Those are examples of
some of my dreams. If
you'd like to share what some of your own DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE are, we'd love to hear it. You can write a sentence or two in the
body of your post, write a sentence at the bottom of your post
next to the link up for this challenge, or simply leave a comment on
this post if you'd like.
Also, I know that the participants would love for you to go and pay them a visit. Remember we're creating a Path of Positivity to follow one project at a time and we'd love to see you somewhere on that route even if it is just by leaving a comment on an entry from someone who has touched you somehow with their project and/or post! You can find our list of participants and enter our latest challenge yourself by clicking HERE and scrolling down to the bottom of the post.

Positivity Challenge Blog! It is the first Monday
of the
month and it is time for our last challenge of the year to begin! We hope that you
and your families continue to stay healthy and safe out there as you prepare for the various upcoming holidays celebrated in the different regions around the world!
Since we are not
your typical challenge blog, it is important for you to
understand how things work in order to be sure you are eligible to win
any of the prizes offered. If
you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus
behind why I started it under the 'Introductions' tab and you can find out all the details you need to know in order to participate, in the 'Challenge Details'
tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a
summary of the most important rules can also be found in the right
sidebar under the heading 'General Rules'.
Right now, it is time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is what you need to know...
Challenge #107
Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of
Celebrate by Sharing Your Dreams for the Future
For this past year, our goal has been to encourage you all to celebrate the positive around us. As we finish out the year, we thought it would be good time to look ahead. As such, if you would like to participate in the optional twist this month, we want you to design a creation

the twist is completely optional and you don't need to follow it in

My wonderful design team continues to outdo themselves time and time again! They each have their own style and clever interpretation of the twist. Even after all this time, I continue to be astounded by the scope of greatness in their work! Each of these artful conceptions has showcased the notion of Celebrating by Sharing Their DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE exceptionally and I hope we have inspired you. Be sure to go and visit each team member so you can see how her project further connects to the twist.
So what are you waiting for? Create a project and/or post that is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature and join our link up. How about stretching yourself by also opting to follow the twist?! While it isn't mandatory, we'd also love to find out how this month's twist affects your own life. I personally have more DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE than I can list here but one is the desire to travel--to Scotland (paternal side of family), France (maternal side of family) and of course Hawaii (seriously, who doesn't dream of going to Hawaii at least once in their lives)!

I hope to see you back next week when voting will [hopefully] begin on the Top Picks for Challenge #107. There will be a separate post detailing those picks where you will have the opportunity to vote on the creation or post that you have found to be the most positive, inspirational or encouraging of the chosen picks.
