And the winner is...

As always, 

I was overwhelmed by the response to my giveaway.

Overwhelmed not only by your show of support,

but by the bravery shown by those who were willing to share their fears.

We are not so different,
you and I.

We all have fears...

and within us,

the ability to overcome them.

Life is too short and too precious

to allow fear to stop you from doing what you really want to do.

So, what are you waiting for?! 

;-)

Drawing the winner is always a fun affair.

I like to do some things the old-fashioned way, so... 

187 little pieces of paper were cut and folded and added to the bowl...

Giveaway 1 

As always, my trusty assistant was nearby to lend a hand...

Giveaway 5

After a moment of tense anticipation and paper-jiggling...

Giveaway 2

a winner emerged!

Giveaway 3

The lovely Karyn from Releases By Rufydoof!

Congratulations!!!

I cannot wait to collaborate with you to create something extra special!

It was at this point that Jett discovered he was being left out of the action, 

and he wanted in...

Giveaway 4

He decided I needed to have a runner-up...

Giveaway 6

...and who am I to disagree with a two year old...

Congratulations Kay of Kay's Artycles!

I'll put together a little something for you and send it your way ;-)

And I think it may just involve these beauties...

    Q: what's the MOST important objective
    N our lifelong demise determined by us?
    A: achieving Seventh-Heaven: in the
    Great Beyond, everythang is possible.

    When our eternal soul leaves our body at death
    and we riseabove to meet our Maker,
    only four, last things remain:
    death, judgement, Heaven or Hell
    according to the deeds WEE mortals
    have done in our Finite Existence.
    Find-out what RCIA means and join.

    PS° I'm a re-boot NDE:
    if you're RIGHT,
    you'll see the LIGHT -
    follow that to the Elysian Fields.
    Let's be tethered2forever Upstairs.
