Sarah Miles! My winner from the
Summer Splash Blog Hop
Sarah has won a beautiful statue of the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, also known as Venus. The drawing was random, but there were some wonderful comments ... unfortunately, the comment area was having problems, so most people wrote to me. Thank you, lovely ladies, for sharing your thoughts with me. I'm sure Aphrodite is sending love to all of you.
Here are some of the comments. I won't include names, because some are quite personal:
So, I wouldn't say that I *deserve* it, but maybe it would send some love my
way. I have health issues, which started up while I was dating my ex. I loved
him, figured we'd be together for a long time. A few months after I started
getting significantly worse, he ended the relationship. Never gave me a reason,
and from what I hear he's told others, he's made up one for them (as I know it's
not true). My assumption is that it's just difficult dating someone who is ill,
but he doesn't want to say that and sound like a bad person. I'm hesitant to
look into dating now that I'm free, as I don't want to get attached to someone
that's just going to get fed up with me. Could use a little help from the
lovely Venus/Aphrodite in finding someone that can look past how these chronic
issues have handicapped me. I'm not just a sick person, and I hate being boiled
down into that one little bucket. Plus, who doesn't love being in love? It's
missed.
I'm sorry I had to email you my comment, but I couldn't get it to post. I
believe I should win the statue of the goddess because each of us should have a
piece of beauty in the room to brighten their lives and remind them of their
youth. Aphrodite/Venus is the perfect goddess to remind me of happier/healthier
times in my life as I struggle toward regaining some modicum of health. She
could stand watch and encourage me to regain control, while reminding me to
laugh and enjoy the sun. Her beauty can stand sentinel over my struggles and
remind me of the beauty I will miss if I don't go outside and enjoy the pool in
the the summer, the breeze in my face, the ground beneath my feet. All the
beauty of the earth is there, if only I remember to see it. Aphrodite, Goddess
of Love, can reignite the flame within my heart.
Thank you for the chance to win Aphrodite "The Goddess of Erotic Love": In my
wiccan class we are studying different Goddesses and this would be great to have
for my Altar that I have created towards her for more Erotic love in my
life.
I bet you didn't expect that one. lol
Once again, I so appreciate all of you who entered the contest. It was a lot of fun, and I plan to participate again next year.
