TWENTY-FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
maviefolle-473 So look what came in the mail today! Ahh yes, my bloggy buddies! My 25 Billion in Zimbabwe money courtesy of MoziEsme and Operation Love Zimbabwe.

Of course when this arrived there was a lot of curiosity in the house. Everyone had to run their fingers over it. Some giggles and a bit of wondering…’just what would we actually do with 25 BILLION dollars’…if it were true?

After paying off debts, what would you do with 25 Billion? Please share your thoughts!

I won $25,000,000,000.00!

I entered a contest over at Mozi’Esme during their Operation Love mini me Zimbabwe campaign and I actually WON! Yup!
    Twenty Five Bill-ion Dollars!
So, what to do what to do? Hmmmm, that would cover pretty much all my expenses over say….a lifetime (or three).    But considering a few weeks ago they dropped 12 zeros off their currency, so the $25,000,000,000 is now Zim$0.025 or something like that…and the last exchange rate to US$ is Zim$59/US$1, so that comes to about US$0.00…..lol, so…I won’t be making any major purchases.   (But I am SO enjoying this prize!!!!)

Winning this contest DID however come at a wonderful time for me. It reminded me that my ‘woes’ are pretty stupid. There are people all over the world who are living through disease and destruction, while I’m complaining about needing a new washer or buying medicine for my kids’ eye. Yes, fun bloggy material but when put into perspective, pretty dumb. So my humble winnings will be mailed to me. In return I will put together a package of goodies to send over to Mozi’Esme who’s family helps out an orphanage in Africa. And I shall cherish the win, the self taught lesson and enjoy the reminder that I’m rich with many things….money just isn’t one of them. Group hug!
