RENEW: Results and Insight

Can I just say that when I approached Angela about running a competition for her bars, since she’s just started the shipping of them to the States..I NEVER EVER thought it would generate such a huge response.

So, there were a total of 194 comments. Minus my responses and 1 pingback from Angela’s link left 178 comments that were generated from people.

I texted my friend Nicole (who did not enter this competition) this:

She wrote back this:

THE WINNER! Francesca!!! Congrats Girl!
“When I need to renew my spirit I pray and run. I feel spiritually and emotionally awakened after!”

Here are some other amazing responses–believe I would have put them all down..let me tell ya’ I am totally RENEWED right now. Y’all are some very inspiring people. I hope that if you have time go through the comments on the post…seriously…you’ll feel renewed!

• Allison “taking time away from technology”
• Megan “Last week during meditation I put on a detoxing face mask it was great!”
