I challenge you NOT to forward....

BLOGGING gives BACK!!!

Oprah would be proud. A way to finally turn this cyber chat fest into a charitable gift annuity with every stroke.

With all the "blogging" going on these days, one has to wonder, "what is the purpose of a blog?" Of course, depending on which blogger is giving you his/her definition, you have an array of opinions.

OUR blog, not mine, is to serve as a "town hall" centered around conversation spurred topics that cultivate ideas, growth, and possibilities. I firmly believe that you must have an assortment of content, both light and heavy, to be threaded interactively in order to maximize a sense of community.

But what good is a community if it doesn't push towards a positive net change? What if your well thought out opinion was truly a donation to society? How much time would you invest in your contributing thought before you let your voice be heard? (or your fingers punch the keyboard?)

Now it's time>>>>I am putting a dollar ($1.00) match to every opinion you have!! Here's how it works:

1.) FOLLOW / SIGN IN texaholic.blogspot.com
2.) Every Monday I will post a CHALLENGE QUESTION
3.) Reply with your answer as a COMMENT to the post
4.) every complete answer = $1 dollar match to charitable organization
5.) 1 week later, a winning contributor is chosen based on his/her COMMENT
6.) I will write a personal check in the amount of total COMMENTS posted to *winner's choice of charity up to $100.00
7.) The contest starts over every Monday when new CHALLENGE QUESTION is posted.

A penny for your thoughts? Nah, too cheap....make it a buck, and pay it forward!
