T-Shirt Contest

I came across this t-shirt contest just this morning. To say that it’s a “t-shirt contest” is not that accurate because there are five prizes up for grabs; 4 t-shirts and one tote bag.

What you need to do is to select the prize you would like to win and then leave a comment on the blog post and share why you would like to win the prize. According to the blog post, you need to be creative. Sigh, that’s why I didn’t participate!

If you are creative with words, this is a good chance to try to win one of the prizes. Contest ends 1st February, 2011. Plenty of time, so put on your thinking caps!

Free Hope Tote Bag For Women With Cancer

I just lost an aunt to lung cancer last week. When I came across The Lydia Project, I am so touched that there are people who spend time, money and resources to offer hope, support and prayer to women around the world who are fighting the same battle: cancer.

The Lydia Project gives away free Hope tote bags upon request but they also offer a listening ear and prayers to these women. Having seen my maternal grandmother, an aunt and a good friend die of cancer, I have to admit that I am shaken by the devastation that cancer causes. Care, support, understanding, love and most of all, prayers, are very, very important.

If you know of anyone who has cancer, you can request for a tote bag on her behalf. The tote bags filled with love and encouragement are delivered around the world, except those living within Augusta, GA area where these will be hand delivered by a volunteer.
