Today we announce the winners:

I’d leave my company and drive from New York to the southern most tip Peru then take a plane to Europe and learn the language of every country I visit.

Traveling and discovering life outside your own comfortable environment is a wonderful experience. (Bonus for the follow up… I hear Brazil is hot like that.)

Enter the porn industry. LOL!

Sex is apart of life so why not get paid for what you enjoy.

I’d get through to all the young people: preteens, teens and young adults in our world who seem to not have a clue, to “Spike Lee” them all, “WAKE UP!!!!” To end the nonsense, should we start off with a huge, world-wide, spanking line? hmmmm……

Changing the minds of our young people to something more positive will change the world for the better.

‘S funny. I recently heard someone ask, “If you had a magic wand, what would you use it for?” and the guy who answer the question said something like new stereo equipment, money, and a few other things and he ended with, “Hmm…it all sounds a bit selfish…”

I thought about it and it sounds trite to say, “world peace” or “cure for cancer” but more and more I think that if somehow everyone could love themselves and see the beauty in others, all our problems would just…fade away. So much of what we do is about power and the power is our need to feed our ego and our ego is about lack of loving ourself.

But this would have a huge consequence!

Rawdawgbuffalo thank you for participating. When we get sponsorship from Whole Foods or some other food conglomerate I’ll be sure to let you know. With the price of food these days we could all use a win. But I’m in the process of checking out your literary work. So that should put some paper on your plate.

Thank you all for participating. Someone from Hachette Book Group will be in touch with you shortly.

We can all change the world with one thought, one voice, and one action.
