I have decided to open this contest that I used to host weekly for my community 'Powerhousecreatives' to the public. Now everyone can join.
For starters, this contest will have a duration of approximately 1 week and a new contest will be announced every Tuesday (GMT+8) of the week. The results for the contest that week would be announced the following Monday night (1 week deadline) (GMT+8).
This contest genre will vary from drawing challenges, photo prompts, writing challenge and many more that will inspire you to think out of the box.
What Makes You Smile?
Are you having the Monday blues? Or maybe you haven't been feeling it the past week, maybe sad? Well, I found out that sometimes we have to 'force' ourselves to be happy to have that shift in mindset. I realized that when I feel discouraged, encouraging others would in return fire me up. Inspire to be inspired. Something like that. But for this contest, I want to do a happy and positive topic because I think everyone should be happy.
For me, The 5 things that make me smile:
- When I receive a compliment/appreciation. One of my highest love languages is the 'words of affirmation'.
- Hanging out with friends I like.
- Things falling into place like my new found business or achievements.
- When someone surprises me.
- When people include me in their conversation. Even though I'm an introvert by nature, I like being part of the group.

My trip to Finland and the Canary Islands, many moons ago.The photos I have of this trip, are very blurry and very few. I think we were so happy those days, that taking pictures was a waste of time, when love, union and happiness were the main characters.
This trip was because my boyfriend at that time, was Finnish. I met him in Caracas through a friend. We fell in love immediately...

In difficult times, you want to hide that feeling of sadness and not be noticed by your relatives. Seeing my nephew in this happy circumstance, I feel happy and joyful. He can bring out in me, a thousand smiles, no matter how far away I am, but he will always be in my heart waiting with a big hug...

There are so many things that make us laugh, a good joke, a good reward in our publications, a child's smile, winning the lottery once in a while, seeing our loved ones or watching a great TV show like "Friends" or "The Mask". I think I am a person who has laughed a lot in this life, someone once told me in my work that I should never stop smiling, just as there are others who told me that I would get wrinkled from laughing so much. It's not my fault, really, everything makes me happy, I always look for the good side of things...

An activity that motivates me to be the best version of myself: Exercising has become one of my favorite activities this year, as it has not only helped me improve my physical shape, but also kept me in touch. with my interior, making me see everything I can do with discipline and a lot of love. I love the feeling I get every time I finish a routine, because it gives me stability, optimism and satisfaction. This path of self-love and self-discovery led me to find Pilates, which in these moments, when it is not an option to go out and exercise outside the four walls of the home, helps me to combat stress and bad mood, allowing me to see things from another perspective and with a much more open mind...

Today I want to tell you about the things that make me smile... This initiative suggested by @zord189, invites us to talk about what keeps us alive. I must say that, I am a very happy person, I always walk around with a smile on my lips. I laugh at everything that is funny, what gives me pleasure and well-being, always brings out a smile in me. For me, happiness is a state of peace and tranquility in my mind and heart. Joy is the complement, and it manifests itself through laughter or smiles...
