An Animating and Exalting Effect

Alright, everyone, it's my personal favorite day of the week here at kidz. It's the day when you get to share your stories.... any story that is inspring in any way. I'm afraid the readers are over-analyzing the word inspiring because even though I've tried to explain its broad definition several times before, I've still not seen very much Talk to Me Tuesday activity. And that's hard to believe, considering participation in TTMT is an automatic entry for the monthly giveaway. And to answer your question, no. I'm not below bribes. Please participate! Please oh please!

January's giveaway was a blanket made of this fabric....


So cute! And the winner of the fab blanket is....

Amanda from Come What May and Love It. Congrats to Amanda!!!

Okay, let's see what Webster has to say about the word 'inspiring'....

inspiring: having an animating or exalting effect

Well, we could go all day, looking up animating and exalting to get down to the real definition. But basically, think to yourself, 'okay, does this post cause anyone to feel exalted/uplifted/better than they did before they read it?' Then it fits. Or try this, 'Does this post cause anyone's face to go from expressionless to having an expression (i.e. is it animating)? Then again, it applies. It's a pretty broad definition, so please play along!

And for extra motivation, check out February's giveaway for TTMT participants....


An Instyler

No. This is not some mystical dream. It is reality. An Instyler could be yours if you simply follow my simple guidelines of what qualifies as an inspiring post. Not sure what an Instyler is? Go HERE to find out, but trust me, it's a simply fantastic device for your hair.
Simply add the link to that post on the Mr Linky below, and voila, you're entered to win the Instyler! How simple is that?!? And be sure to go visit the other inspiring posts so you can be animated and exalted....

Sorry, I messed up. I first added the link to a post on another blog that I found inspiring, but then I thought maybe I was supposed to leave the link to my blog... Please delete the wrong one. I wasn't trying to enter twice...

Thanks!

What is that hair thing? I think I might hurt myself with something like that.

Awesome! You had mentioned I was winner of a contribution to my fave charity. I've been out of the blogging realm off and on and didn't see it. Can you email me and let me know what I need to do? One of my fave charities is the Ronald McDonald house since my nephews passed away. Thank you! You can email me at tinkledpink65@gmail.com
