I love to travel.  During the year, I dream of all of the places I would like to explore.  Part of my list include items from the 7 Wonders of the World.  Do you know what the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World are?  How about the Modern World?  Read on to find out …

It is now your turn to come up with the 7 Wonders of Your World.  OK, so the lists above only mention physical structures but you do not have to limit yourself to physical structures or things.  What are 7 wonderful things you have some connection with?  What are 7 wonderful things that you have had a hand in helping, aiding, or guiding?  What are the 7 things that are most important to you?  (To me, this challenge goes along with the Pride Challenge — instead of listing one thing, can you come up with 7?)

Are you ready to share the 7 Wonders of Your World?  Interpret it anyway you wish.  I am anxious to see what wonders ignite your world!  Be ready to share your layout(s) on Saturday, July 10.
