The Expanded Contest

     I love this time of year as it is near 11.11.11, the day of The Butterfly Gathering.  For each of the past eleven years, we have celebrated this event.  Plus, every other year this event has been a highly successful virtual event.  Last year we met in the White Mountains of AZ in person and my friends from around the world, joined me via email.  That delightful Sunday, we were the guest of the wonderful Believe program; held at the Tuscan Pizzeria Venti...oh so overflowing with ambiance.  Plus, the date was 10/10/10 which was close enough to fall for restaurant owner, Lisa to bake a an amazing pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin!!

     Two years ago, I *The Home Whisperer* hosted a contest to celebrate PoSivityDay.com.  The quest was for entrants to write in one of their wishes to Re-Take...a Mis-take they have learned from and although they regretted it then and even afterwards, they were able to forgive themselves.  For truly, we should not dwell in this energy because it is an illusion.  Once we embrace all of our lives-as it is said, warts and all, something marveloous, mystical and magical happens.

     In 9.9.09 the prize amount was $1,118.00, the exact same number as PoSivityDay.com's actual celebration day, 11.18.  Karla McWhorter was the 9.9.9 winner- Once again, Congratulations Karla and also once again for 11.11.11's Celebration, Prices and Gifts are valued at $1,118.00.  The winner will be announced  11.11.11 @ 11 PST via email.  As posted earlier on this blog titledr THE CONTEST, the requirement is to write about the time you left home.  I have added more prize value and there is no purchase required. 

     This contest is in honor of our grandson Ryan (19) who left home for the first time to attend university.  One week after he arrived on campus, he was rushed to the hospital for an appendectomy and once he was in surgery, Crohns disease was discovered.  Although he is attending on a sports scholarship, he is under the doctors care and not released to participate.  The staff in South Dakota were excellent.  While his precious mom Amy attended to him all those 23 hours away, my hubby Jay and I drove to the Phoenix area to backstop his dad Jeremy and brothers and sister in their active life.  In fact, even though Amy has returned home, at their request, we are still here. They are a strong family and we are honored to know them! Which goes for the rest of our grands and their parents!!

     On my Facebook page, I am quoting Johann Wolfgang von Goethe-it is only beneficial that I do so here too.  His insights line up with my universal beliefs such as "Life is transitory" and "Leap and the net will appear."  These are true, true, true.
