Okay…I admit it…I’m not always the brightest crayon in the box…or maybe…it’s 
just that sometimes I don’t get out of the box…case in point…my friends Tamy Burns and Kimberly Hughes…authors of…Fateful Night…a novel based on the premise that Marilyn Monroe didn’t die…announced a contest…in honor of Marilyn’s birthday…for the month of August…
It was pretty straight forward…all you had to do was make a comment on a blog post containing your favorite Marilyn quote…I’d seen some of the prizes…they’re pretty cool…I could enter…except…I don’t know any Marilyn quotes…oh well…a prize would have been nice…but…not to be…
I was going to leave it at that…until…Bertha…reminded me…after I went to bed last night…that…I could Google…how could I have forgotten that…so much for good night’s sleep…
First thing this morning…I Googled…and quickly found my favorite quote…actually…Bertha…picked it out…
“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” ~Marilyn Monroe
I copied and pasted it into the comment section…I may not win…but…at least I have a chance…which is the lesson that…Bertha…was reminding me of…we wrote about it first in a story from…Bertha-Size Your Life!…called…Lottery…when…Bertha…explained the difference between…being lucky and having a chance…
Seems as though…I can’t win the lottery if I don’t have a ticket…can’t win a contest if I haven’t entered…can’t be hired for my dream job if I don’t apply…and…the list goes on and on…
Okay…enough blogging for today…this little crayon is getting out of the box…
Jane
Wonderful Jane! Thanks for entering and Bertha is so right! At least give yourself a chance, by doing!
Yes, Tamy…Bertha has great advice…I just wish she wouldn’t tell me after I go to bed…LOL! Can’t wait for the prizes…they are incredible!
Jane,
I just love ya girl and love your style. You bring light wherever you go.
Thanks for being in my life,
Kim

Great post sometimes i forget to take a chance…

That Bertha is one smart cookie. I don’t understand the meaning of “can’t”. Hope you win! 🙂
Thank you Carmen…I actually did win a prize…how cool is that? And Bertha is doing a scholarly happy dance from your compliment…be glad you can’t see her…LOL!
