The MIRACLE OF MY LIFE was the birth of my daughter’s first child (and my first grandchild) Brayden. After ten years of hoping and wishing to bear a child with her only true love, that dream happened on September 20, 2011.  It was my dream to experience being a gramma. I can tell you (now) from experience, the amazement and utter joy I felt when holding my grandson in my arms for that first time.

Miracles come in all shapes, sizes and forms. They can be anything from a rainbow to the miracle of life. A miracle can come from within or the power of love, prayer, strength and support as Christa Caulk explains in her post “July 9th, 2010- A Day I Will Never Forget”  or it can be a realization that inner strength from within changed a life.

The POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul group offered all members a chance to share their miracles in the Fall Season of Miracles Contest and to support the ActiveRain community with their positive stories. It is a time to strengthen our community and bring our miracles to all of you.

As our Head Judge, Jeff Dowler stated, “I was certainly touched by each and every one (story)”.   Jeff worked through his vacation here on Kauai to ensure that the scoring continued and when he landed back home today the winners were on hand. HOORAY FOR JEFF!

The other Judges were Debe Maxwell, Andrea Sweidler, Gail Robinson and Renee Burrows and they worked hard and diligently to read every entry and they finally came up with the top winners and deserve a big round of applause!!!

Though I believe every single entry is a winner the Judges HAD to pick their top picks. So without further hesitation….the following entries are the winners for this years Fall Season 2011 contest and a special thank you to BOB STEWART- Our ActiveRain Community Evangelist for his loyal support of the PAWS Group and approving the points!!!

This was VERY difficult to pick out "winners".  All entries were winners (in my opinion) and I highly encourage everyone to read all of the entries.  Definitely helped me change my perspectives on life the last couple of weeks!
