However, a few things happened that convinced me to have a carnival sooner. So I sent out
a notice on Saturday for submissions by Sunday. The response was positive with just one minor complaint.

Enjoy the “last minute” carnival.

Always remember that no one is born perfect and that should make you realize that you are not a worthless person. So try to see the truth and believe that you are unique in your own ways. So no one is perfect enough to put you down or hurt your self-esteem unless you allow them.

“Life can be about passion. It’s about discovering what you like, as well as what you don’t like. You can passionately love something while at the same time hating something else. Find out what excites, motivates, inspires, and pleases you, as well as what doesn’t.”

From the post: When we want something so badly that we won’t take no for an answer, we combine a willingness to do whatever it takes and the intent to make it a reality. When that happens, the Universe responds and we manifest what we want.
