Being a winner isn’t as important as giving it your best shot.
Being a winner doesn’t mean you have to come in 1st place. It means giving it your best shot and that’s what this post is about.
Have you ever jumped into a situation with both feet only to learn you should have tested your toe in the water first? That’s what happened to me when I agreed to be in the #Fabover40 contest. I did it for several really good reasons.
It raises money for The National Breast Cancer Foundation and I know so many women who have had to fight this. My cousin and best friend Martha lost her battle 9 years ago and today is her birthday, also known as Be The Good Day.
I thought it would be a great way to represent grandmothers and all they do and mean for their families.
And I thought it would be good for me to practice what I preach about being comfortable in my own skin.
What I didn’t realize when I entered is how hard it would be to ask for votes every day. I am reminded of why I never sold tupperware or went to jewelry parties. I am not a good sales person. But I try to be a good person and so I thought, “What could it hurt?”
The Winner is Chosen soon
The contest will choose 4 finalists tomorrow night at 8. you can vote once a day and I would really appreciate your vote. I’m 13th now and if something doesn’t happen over night….I’m out. And that’s okay. I want to win, or course. But I won’t lose sleep over it. I’m already a winner because of my faith, family and friends.
I wish the contest had been shorter and that I didn’t have to keep asking you to vote but I want to give it my best shot. Do it for the friends and family members you have who are fighting breast cancer, and do it for the grandmothers who are Fab at any age because of how much they love their families.
Thank you so much! You can vote by clicking on this link!
This is a photo of Martha and me not long before she passed. She fought her battle with cancer with dignity and grace. She gave it her best shot but in the end she earned her wings and went to her heavenly home. Miss her every day but especially today on her birthday.
