The Carnival of Miracles (Edition 13)

Welcome to Edition 13 of the Carnival of Miracles. This edition is a little thinly spread, and that is because quite a few posts that were submitted didn’t make the cut. To set the record straight, this carnival is a carnival that focuses on real-life miracles, positive attitude, extreme happiness…in short anything that uplifts the human experience. Having said that, looking forward to a better participation next time.

We start off this carnival with a beautiful and timely post from Mina Irfan in Why Hitting Rock Bottom is the Best Thing That Happened To Me. Thanks Mina, I am sure that post will have a lot of followers everywhere.

Glowing Face Man shares the cheat code to life (to all the truly logical people out there) in the stirring Positive Affirmations. As a fellow fan of Louise L. Hay’s You Can Heal Your Life, this post is truly special.

Finally The Digerati Life reminds us to count our blessings in Would You Take this Job? The Toughest Jobs in America.

Thanks folks, for your lovely posts. To be  a part of the next edition of the Carnival of Miracles please click here before 15 June.

So what’s special in this 10th Carnival edition, you may ask me. Well, starting from this edition, Iam starting a section which is titled One utterly special blog in this carnival. It’s tough to create this category when there are so many superb submissions. But I think, it will be truly interesting to see that er truly special post among all the other special postings.

Featured in today’s utterly special blog in this carnival is Meredith Mathews with her blog My Lemonade Stand (When Life gives you lemons, stick ‘em in your bra. Couldn’t hurt. Might help.) Her posting Moving is symbolic is very touching and a great read.

Best of Carnival of Miracles (Editions 1 to 9)

Welcome to the Best of Carnival of Miracles (Editions 1 to 9). Here you will find a celebration of some of the most significant posts that you will find in the blogosphere. It was quite challenging going through 61 great posts in all and then zeroing down on the blogs that had that ’special’ edge.

My earlier avtar as an editor of an educational web portal held me in good stead. Having started the Carnival of Miracles following a very strong inner urge, I think it is time to add a new dimension to this Carnival. I hope you will love reading this immensely gratifying collection.

• A Week with Sai Maa – Brandon Peele (Edition 9) A powerful piece about about a very special meeting with a spiritual guide. This is a first-hand account of a spiritual experience and answers very many questions…
• Do You Have “the Sight?” – Vera Nadine (Edition 9) There are blogs & there are blogs. This, however, is a master piece. If you remotely believe in miracles and magic and angels and in connecting to the universe, then you must read this…
• My baby is silencing my mind - Anmol Mehta (Edition Eight) This is about an unearthly and delightful bond with a baby. In the spirituality that engulfs a new born, this writer finds solace, strength and connection…
• A True story – Anthony (Edition 7) Sometimes in a simple everyday moment, magic happens…
• Spring is here - Ariel Bravy (Edition 7) A picture speaks a thousand words. This photo blog captured the essence of this carnival like never before…
• How to really manifest your desires - Raymond David Salas (Edition 7) Choosing a post among all the inspiring posts that he has sent was truly difficult, but I think this holds the key to everything we really want…
• Excess – Craig Harper (Edition 6) Hard hitting and well written, this is about letting go of the excesses so that we can let the sunshine in…
• Getting away from the other side - J. Bradley (Edition 5) Sometimes the miracle is of getting away! Moving and very well created…
• Tis better to give than receive - Alvaro Fernandez (Edition 4) What does Dopamin, Oxytocin and giving a gift to your younger brother have in common? A lot really, here is – the magic of gifting…
• The Cracked Pot – Praveen (Edition 3) In this lovely folktale lies deep truths about human existence…
• Our Deepest Desires – Joy Soriano (Edition 3) Sometimes you want to say ‘thank you’ to a writer for writing something very special. Well, that’s what I felt when I read this…
• A sweet delivery – Karen Alonge (Edition 2) Till death do us apart? Not really, in this beautiful posting lies an amazing tale…
• A childhood tale – Rajesh.P.I (Edition 2) It’s always a little dodgy adding your little post to a category that says ‘BEST…’ Well, this happened to me and probably the very reason why I started the Carnival of Miracles…
• A boy and his tiger – Bob (Edition 2) In a land that is protected, away from the crowd…thank you Bob, this was a lovely post you know…

Thank you everybody for participating in the Carnival of Miracles. I feel such a better person already.

The New Chestnut is a collection of unique blogs. Erek Ostrowski likens the game of life to golf in Ease up And Don’t Swing So Hard. Debra Moorhead goes on a rampage, literally, in her article about increasing the blessings in one’s life in On a Rampage.

Heather Flanagan talks about the VIP meme project or Visualize Infinite Possibilities in VIP Meme Project: Visualizing a World that works. Vera Nadine asks a very soulful question…the answer lies within us in Do you have “the sight?”

Craig Harper talks about love being the most important ingredient in life in Maybe the Beatles Were Right. Alvaro Fernandez puts together a game that will help us explore the miracle of our sense in The Senses Challenge.
