Are you in a funk? Has life taken on a bit of a monotonous tone? Would you rather stay in bed than face whatever the world is going to throw at you today. Well then you my dear Spirited Woman, you need a fresh start!
Change guruess Ariane de Bonvoisin, founder of First 30 Days.com and Carefree (protection liners) have come together to create a wonderful website and contest to help you get off on the right foot for that fresh start. The CareFree Fresh Start Site is a one stop shop to give women tips on making change happen in any part of their lives: Style, Wellness, Relationships, Career... and there is even a special section for young girls. While there, make sure to download the free Fresh Start Guide that gives you 10 handy tips for getting started on that fresh start and living the life you have always wanted.
The most exciting part about this whole Fresh Start movement though is the fact that 10 deserving women will be awarded money to help them make the move that will change their lives. The grand prize winner will win $10,000 ...making the change potential pretty awesome! If this sounds like something that interests you, head over to the website to get all of the details. You then can submit a 300-word essay explaining a long term goal that requires at least 30 days to achieve and that will bring about a "fresh start" for you. You still have plenty of time as the final submission date is not until July 10th. So get that pen and paper out and start writing!
I loved this idea so much that I considered entering the contest but sadly it is only open to US residents... sorry international spirited women. This lead me to a brainstorm though, why don't we share with each other what "fresh starts" we would like to make? Even if you are going to enter the contest, it would be wonderful to hear from you and share with this fabulous community what new step you would take to make your life's dreams come true. You never know what amazing connections you can make right here at the Spirited Woman site. That person you need to help you move forward might be a simple comment post away!
So how about it - what is the "fresh start" that you want to make? We look forward to hearing from you!!!
To your Spirited Fresh Start,

This is a great opportunity! I entered to help me change my relationship with exercise and health by giving me more support and resources so I can train for 5Ks all year and stay active all my life. Ariane's website is also fabulous -- check it out!
