Thank you so much Lovely Tiffany, you are a Queen in our eyes!!!

I must confess that when I tried to compose this result article, my brain completely shut down. It has been a rough week. So I had to enlist the whimsical mind of Mz Tiffy again to find the right words.

"Maybe you can begin with why you choose the topic or why you thought it would be fun to explore and include commentary on a few of your favorite entries". Love Tiffany.

Eureka!

I choose this topic of many that I am exploring, because so many of us need to smile a little through our darker days. What, I thought, would I do if such a thing fell into my lap. For me, all of my prayers would be answered, with a bit left over for fun and such. Hopefully.

All of the reads were favorites, but someone has to be chosen. So I happily let Tiff do all of that work. 😊

Here is a list of the wonderful and fun-filled entries.

1. Mike Singleton

2. Shirley Belk

3. Novel Allen

4. 365poetry

5. Mariann Carroll

6. Sarah Parker

7. KA Stefana

8. Mother Coombs

9. Emily Binkley

10. Kelli Sheckler-Amsden

11. Michelle Liew

12. Lamar Wiggins

13. Kayleigh Fraser

14. Novel Allen

Tiffany's Faves in her own words:

Hey, as far as impact goes:

No. 1 - Kayleigh Fraser. Her entry stayed with me long after I read it. It was soul-baring, heartfelt, inspiring and altruistic.

No. 2 - Lamar Wiggins. A thought-provoking look at how money can change our outlook on life while highlighting the notion that it may not necessarily change our values.

No. 3 - Michelle Liew. A brilliant take on value being in the eye of the beholder when it comes to our purchase power.

**Shirley Belk as an Honorable Mention for her creativity. The farm animals were chef's kiss.

**Novel as an Honorable Mention for her fun vibes and sass with her Jeff entry!

Thanks for inviting me to be a part of this project! It's been a blast my friend! πŸ’•πŸ©·πŸ’

We could not have asked a nicer person, Tiffany. 😊

A note from Novel. 😊

I, Novel, kindly offer to forego my tip and to pay the other tips. Thanks so much Tiffany, for the Honorable mention. Thanks Antoni for being wonderful.

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to read and leave a kind comment, and an especially fond and grateful "thanks from the bottom of our hearts" to all who actually wrote a little story.

+++BTW, if anyone accidentally received $280,000. We want it back!!!
