I know some who read about the ONE World-ONE Heart event may think it's frivolous and unnecessary. It won't be the catalyst to world peace or feed the hungry, house the homeless and so on. Some may feel why not giveaway to a worthy cause instead of people vying for an item(s) they don't need. Well I am here to say that although, and without question, those and so much more ARE vitally important and should be attended to ALL the time........my intention for this and last years event was for people to meet. The blogging world is vast with more created all the time....and through blogging we can learn new things, read about other countries, learn of new ways to promote those vital issues, support causes as well as learn about new artists, writers, photographers et al. By having a list of those with a giveaway it is like a home tour with a map......going from place to place to see how others "live" and perhaps along the way make fabulous new connections and maybe win a door prize in the process.
The giveaway portion is entirely up to the individual and a donation to a charity in the winners name is also an option if anyone so desired.
We are all located in varied geographical locations...and in our every day lives the chance to meet otherwise is pretty much nonexistent for the most part. Through the blogging world we have that opportunity and through these chance encounters we may find those who can enrich our lives in many different ways. Through things like the Bloglandia Ball, the Halloween Party,the blogwide tea party, swaps and so on.....or checking out blogs on someones side bar list or through a new comment....we also find and meet new and wondrous people. In this case not only will you have the chance to do that BUT you may win something in the process....and the list will be right here for you to cruise through.
So I hope you will take this event in which it was intended........a big meet and mingle full of joy.
XOXO
Love, Lisa Oceandreamer
