Posted by Stephanie Miller on February 2nd, 2009

Holiday goodness was given, stories were created and shared, votes were cast, and now the results are in! While all of the story submissions tugged at the ol’ heart strings, you, the community, decided on the best holiday story.

Here’s a big shout out to The Goodest Story Ever Contest winners:


The Goodest Story Ever (1st place): Denise Lambert won a flight for 2 ($1,800 value) with 49 votes for her holiday story, “One Single Mom to Another”.denise

Instead of Cancun, Denise will be using her prize a little differently. She says,

I plan to take my 5 year-old daughter Gwendolyn to Paris, France for a couple of weeks in the summer. We are french, and I’m going to rent an apartment and spend my days playing in the parks with her, seeing the sites, and cooking with awesome french ingredients. (ok, ok, two weeks of pain o chocolate). [note: pain au chocolate means chocolate croissant in English]

I might also take her on the train to Vienna…

And of course, do my own good daily in FRANCE!

Casie plans to,

I’m going to be using the camera to start video blogging! I’m really excited. It was a close race and we all did a great job. I’m going to be able to share my good deeds with others in video form now. Yay!

Thank you for sharing your Do Gooding and please do the world a favour: keep doing it!

    I realized more interesting things on this fat loss issue. 1 issue is that good nutrition is extremely vital any time dieting. A huge reduction in junk food, sugary ingredients, fried foods, sugary foods, pork, and white-colored flour products might be necessary. Keeping wastes unwanted organisms, and toxic compounds may prevent desired goals for losing weight. While specific drugs momentarily solve the problem, the bad side effects are certainly not worth it, and so they never give more than a short-term solution. It can be a known fact that 95% of diet plans fail. Many thanks sharing your thinking on this site.

    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Kudos
