Ch. #102--Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of Celebrate Something Special about YOUR HERO or SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO...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 #102. 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.  

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 #102

Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of 

Celebrate Something Special about 

YOUR HERO or SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO

This year's goal is to celebrate the positive around us. As such, this month we want you to design a creation that focuses on Celebrating Something Special about YOUR HERO or SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO. There are many people that can influence us in our lives. Some people have a hero or two that hold sway with them and prompt them to behave in certain ways or lean toward certain attributes. Others just have a person that isn't quite a hero but still someone that they look up to, that ultimately inspire them to be a better person. This month, it is time to pay homage to an important individual who has impressed you and show the world Something Special about YOUR HERO or SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO in your effort to celebrate the Positivity that already exists in your life.

In order to be considered eligible for this month's honours and prize, remember that general types of projects/posts will not qualify for the prizes 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 Prizes 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 Something Special about YOUR HERO or SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO, 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 Something Special about Their HERO or SOMEONE THEY LOOK UP TO 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?! While it isn't mandatory, we'd also love to find out how this month's twist affects your own life. Do you have a story showcasing something special about a HERO or SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO in your life? Is there someone in your life that has had a profound influence on you? If you'd like to share how you have personally been affected by one of your heroes or just someone that you look up to, 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!

Ch. #101 Top Picks: Voting Open June 13 to June 20/22

WELCOME TO THE CHALLENGE #101 POP TOP!

Hello folks! I hope that your Path this past week has included a number of positive moments along the route and that you and your families are all doing your best to stay healthy and happy. 
 
It is time to present the top picks from the last challenge. Since we had 39 wonderful entries in Challenge #101 (click HERE to see the original challenge with the theme of Celebrate Something Special about YOUR FRIENDS), it is time to get on with showcasing the seven projects and/or write-ups that touched the team the most. In case you are new and wondering why seven and not the typical three, four or even five? Any time that we have more than 14 entries, we have a top seven (with 14 entries or under we just have a top three). We always strive to be a bit different over here on the Path of Positivity and this is just another way to do so. Additionally, seven is a spiritual number and thus right in the wheelhouse of the vibe we are looking to project; so, seven it is when enough people join in. 
 
Thus, without further ado, please let me introduce you to the Top Picks for Challenge #101

 








Congrats Ladies... 

As a participant who has been chosen as a Top Pick in this challenge, 
you are entitled to a special Challenge #101 Top Pick Badge.
Please feel free to grab a copy for your blog...
 

  

HAVE YOUR SAY!

Now the really hard work starts. It is time for you, our readers, to vote for your favourite entry. Which participant most inspires you? Remember, you are not necessarily voting on a creation that was made. You might simply find what the person had to say in their post to be inspiring and optimistic.

Then, let us know who your favourite choice is by placing your vote below using the Linky Tools feature. Once you have made your decision, why not go back and let that person know how she inspired you.
