WINNERS of the Fall Season of Change Contest! | Positive Attitude for the Weary Soul Group

By
Real Estate Agent with Liberty Homes RS-#62825

The POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul group was founded on June 18, 2007 and created for members to go for positive inspiration when their souls get weary.   All of our group contests are created to inject some positivity into the ActiveRain community and into our lives to reinforce the positive aspects of our lives and businesses.

This contest theme was based on a Fall Season of Change and creating a new plan for change that we could make to improve our lives, business and relationships.  

The judges for the contest were William Johnson  and Kathy McGraw,  and they selected the winners on a wide range of criteria but most of all they looked at the quality of the posts that included personal, business and life relationship changes. Many of the entries contained good thought on the changes they wanted to make regardless of how short or long the posts were. 

Without further delay the following are the top winners of the contest:

  1. FIRST PLACE (3.000 points):  Fall Season of Change - The Gift of Time by Debe Maxwell - Search Charlotte Homes for Sale - Charlotte NC Neighborhoods
  2. SECOND PLACE 2000 points):  Fall Season of Change: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." By Kate McQueen
  3. THIRD PLACE (1000 points):  My Fall Season Of Change Starts And Ends With Yellow by Karen Kruschka - Prince William, Fairfax ,Stafford County VA Real Estate Service

Honorable Mentions (500 points)

EVERYONE IS A WINNER!  The rest of the entries will receive 200 points for their participation in the contest!

We believe that all of you are winners if you practice all that you wrote for change. We also hope that you all will strive in your endeavors for those changes and that you found inspiration and motivation by reading each other's Fall Season of Change posts too.

Thank you all for participating and being a part of our ActiveRain Community with your support!

Sally- Judging this contest brought a lot of memories back.  I think I have judged all but 2 of yours...and that was because I wanted to enter LOL :)  Anyway....this was hard.  Not only were there a lot of good entries, but some were so heartfelt and some were inspirtational.  A very inspiring and motivational mixture.

Congratulations to everyone that entered for helping support the Group, and for taking the time to look at ways to change what you felt needed changing.  Also congratulations to the People that placed in the contest.  I don't really like saying winners for this kind of contest as everyone that works on change is a winner!  I know I got a lot of ideas from this contest.

Thanks Sally.....and William :)

Congratulations to the winners! This was a fantastic contest and really enjoyed the challenge that it posed! I have been needing to make a change and this really got me motivated to do so! We are all winners when we are able to look at what needs change in our lives and make a positive effort to change it. Even if it does create some fear! Thanks again!

Sally:  This was such a terrific, thought-provoking challenge.  It was very timely and fun.  I believe everyone who entered and everyone who read the posts are The Real Winners.  This has been such a challenging time for agents all across our country, so to refocus and set positive reinforcements for ourselves creates much needed change.

Kudos and thanks to You, Kathy and William.  I am Honored to be Mentioned along with so many wonderful posts.  There were so many fantastic ideas ~ I'm simply learning more each day here in the 'Rain.

Thank you again, and Congratulations to all!!!
