Light TEN Candles for my Birthday!

Today is my birthday and I’d like you to celebrate with me by lighting up candles!

Each time you do something on the list below, you light a candle

Last year, SouthernPlate.com had over a billion hits, so imagine if just a tiny fraction of us who read this take the challenge to light TEN candles today – what an impact we’d make! 

Will you light ten candles with me today?

If you take the challenge, don’t forget to come back and tell me how many candles you lit!

What if you posted this on your Facebook wall or Pinterest and challenged your friends and family to light ten candles today, too? WOW, you could become your very own world changing machine! GO YOU!

 

PLEASE COME BACK AND LET ME KNOW HOW MANY CANDLES YOU LIT FOR MY BIRTHDAY!

    I just found out website today via ZipList. I wanted your Cheesy Baked Vidalia Dip recipe so naturally when I asked Ziplist to copy it to my recipe file, there you were. What a wonderful surprise! Thank you for the recipe and I look forward to receiving many more.
    Have a most blessed birthday! I will be looking for opportunities to light candles today and in the days ahead. I also plan on sharing the candle lighting challenge on Facebook. Again, a most Happy Birthday!

  12. Mary Crabtree

    So very like you, Chisty, to spend your special day trying to light up someone else’s day! I will be thinking of you, being thankful for you, and lighting candles all day, with a wish for myself that I can continue the tradition! Happy birthday, dear friend, and many more!

  13. So far #2 and #11…and can I count #4 if the kind note was part of a Valentine’s card? :-) OK, maybe not.

    Well my goodness Christy, I hope you had a super wonderful birthday and I will definitely try to light those 10 candles you’re wishing for!!!

  15. Ann

    Happy belated Birthday, I did 6 candles yesterday (on your birthday ).

  16. Melissa Harrison

    I hope you had a wonderful birthday. I lit 4 candles yesterday. : )

  17. Kay Ingram

    I missed your birthday yesterday. I hope your day was wonderful!! I copied the “list” and even though it is late in the day I still can touch on some of these. Great idea–when you encourage someone or touch their lives, you always feel better than that person. Thanks Christy.

  18. Jean

    Happy Birthday to a special lady…..

    Hi, Christy! I *just* subscribed, and found that we share a birthday as well as a love of all things southern, especially southern food. I agree with an earlier commenter that it doesn’t seem easy to find others with a Feb. 10 birthday. I hope your day was wonderful. Just seeing sunshine on my birthday after days of cloudy, cold, windy weather here made me very happy on my day. I’m sure I’m decades older than you, but I’m happy to find both your blog and another Aquarius with the same special day, and I’m looking forward to reading more of your blogs. And I just love your idea of lighting candles of kindness.

    Christy, I hope your had a special birthday celebration. Thanks for letting us continue to celebrate with you as we take the list of 10 things we can do to reach out to others. I pray God will continue to bless and use you!

  21. Melodie

    Happy belated birthday Christy! I hope it was a blessed one. My son’s birthday was the 13th. You two are love month babies!

    Christy, I’m not receiving any e-mails since sometimes last week. Can you help me? Please…
