A New Change Is Taking Place.....

Thanks to everyone's support of the Women on Their Way contest by Wyndham Hotels, I was able to win! I entered not for personal gain, but for the sheer fact that winning would help increase awareness of what we do at All For Helping and gain more support. I feel silly saying "I won" because I think of everyone involved and supporting All For Helping as a "we" and therefore I will say "WE WON!!!"

Winning turned to be a more than fortunate event. I was under the assumption that only the first place winner was privy to all the gifts that came along with the #1 spot, but to my surprise, all top ten winners received the whole sha-bang.

WE won an HD Flip video camera, 

$800 in Visa gift cards, and 200,000 travel points. 

Holy smokes, I feel completely honored to represent Wyndham while helping so many others through All For Helping. It was such a nice surprise (actually, way more than nice), to learn that not only would 14 nights of hotel lodging be provided to supplement our time share stays, but that I'd be able to put the gift cards towards creating  more homeless care packages, and off setting the cost of gas somewhat. Plus use the video camera to provide more entertaining blog entries!

The style of this blog is going to change slightly making it more inviting to everyone who visits. We're working on weekly contests- I'm very excited about this, (because some of it is humorous), video entries, and we plan to share our whole summer vacation with you!!! So I'll apologize in advance, if your intentions were to visit here only to see our homeless efforts or troop efforts, but I decided writing 3 blogs would be too much work. I plan to treat everyone as extended family. You'll get to meet my children,  my husband, my parents, and a ton of other family members and friends along the way. Who knows if you cross our paths, you might even see yourself!!

I've already moved all the important  information from this blog to the main website. From there you'll learn of event dates, how to get involved, etc. etc. and from here, we'll engage you for participation! Like I said, contests, videos, questions, invites, and so much more - oh yeah, and reviews. We'll be sharing our opinion on a host of fun stuff, from restaurants to car entertainment.

I'm hoping this journey will serve as an inspiration to others to want to go out into their communities, step outside of their comfort zone, and get involved too- whether it's meeting us along the way to lend a hand, or right in their own backyard. Each activity that takes place, will slowly manifest the world into a kinder place, relative to the butterfly effect!

I hope the change that takes place here will be well received. I plan to implement it over the next few days, to slowly transition it into a new fun happening place to be online! So invite your friends and family and be sure to share on Facebook, let's collectively bring a little more joy into society!!
