Chrysler Blogger Face-Off + Giveaway!!

Over the past few days, I have had an INCREDIBLE experience with the true power of Social Media – “Word of Mouth.”  I was super excited to be invited by a team member from Chrysler to participate in a “Chrysler Blogger Face-Off” between myself and 4 other amazing bloggers!  If you know me, you know that the past few years have been filled with lots of challenges – becoming a Single Mom, living on my own for the first time with my boys, and more.  So, when I have amazing opportunities like this come my way, I savor the moment!

Voting started yesterday and I was SICK!  Sick, sick, sick – fever, aches, chills, sweating….it was horrible.  It wasn’t the first day either – more like Day 4!  Thank goodness for amazing people in my life to help make things better.  Today, I was feeling like Shannon again – thank goodness!  Wasn’t sure when I’d see that mama again!  So, this morning, I got busy networking again.  I’ve networked in real life, meeting and finding people I met through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more.  I emailed them letting them know about the contest and asking if they would cast their vote.  I went from #59 to #185 this afternoon – that is going from 5th place to 3rd!  Now, I’m about 19 votes from 2nd place and 56 votes from 1st place.  This could all change in a day of course, but hey, I’m loving it today, right?!!!

Did I happen to mention that the winner also gets to GIVE AWAY an IPAD on his/her blog?????  Who here wants an IPAD????
