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 #125. It is my fond hope that each of you and your own
families
continue to stay
happy, safe, and 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 #125
Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of
The Power of Words:
FAMILY/FRIENDS
This year's goal is to look at how WORDS can influence our artistic endeavours. To help inspire you on this journey, each month we will focus on
different quotes. I will provide five
quotes to inspire your creative projects. If none provide any
inspiration, you can pick a quote or phrase of your own choosing to
focus on. You can use the quote/phrase/sentiment as
the focus of your creation OR you can embrace an aspect of the quote to
focus
on. As always, following our twists are optional.
If
you do want to follow the optional twist this month, here are the quotes I've chosen for Nov.:
“If there ever comes a day when we can't be together. Keep me in your heart. I'll be there forever.” — Winnie the Pooh
“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.” — Helen Keller
“Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. And having both is a blessing.” — Author Unknown
“The length of one's days matters less than the love of one's family and friends.” — Gerald R. Ford
“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.” — Helen Keller
“Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. And having both is a blessing.” — Author Unknown
“The length of one's days matters less than the love of one's family and friends.” — Gerald R. Ford
“Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with family and friends.” — Thomas S. Monson
As you can see, the
overall theme for Nov. is FAMILY/FRIENDS.
If you want to follow the optional theme, you can simply use one of the
quotes literally and type it out and add
it to your project. However, you could also create a project with one of
the quotes in
mind. For example, you could create a scrapbook showcasing pictures of
your family and friends using quote 5 on your cover page. Or, you could
create a card for a dear family member using quote 3. There are lots of
ways you could approach the quotes. And of course, if none of these
inspires you, you can always find your own quote or sentiment expressing
the concept of FAMILY/FRIENDS.
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 astounding design team! As always, each of them have
their own unique avenues of creation which I thoroughly admire. Each of
these designs has demonstrated the theme of The Power of Words…FAMILY/FRIENDS splendidly,
and I hope we have motivated you throughout this challenge to come up

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. How often do you rely on
words to inspire your creative endeavours? This month our quotes all
focus on FAMILY/FRIENDS.
Are you doing anything special this month to honour your FAMILY/FRIENDS?
These important people in our lives keep us going through both the good
and the bad and can often influence our creative endeavours. Like the
quote from Thomas S. Monson says, “Let us relish life as we live it,
find joy in the journey, and share our love with family and friends.”
Take some time this month to creatively honour those closest to you. 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!
