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!

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.

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.
