SEND US YOUR MIRACLE STORY
AND WIN A GIFT FROM TAPPER'S
We've all experienced those moments when a seem-
ingly random event also seemed strangely meaning-
ful, even miraculous. Small miracles happen every
day; it is up to us to open ourselves to receiving them
and understanding their meaning.
As we approach Chanukah, we commemorate the
miracle of the light that endured for eight days, and
we are asking you to share your personal miracle, or
epiphany or extraordinary coincidence, whatever
you choose to call one of life's inexplicable events. In
250 words or less, tell your story. Some of the sto-
ries will be published in the November issue of
Platinum. 'rapper's Fine Jewelry in West Bloomfield
will donate two $500 gift certificates to the winning
male and female essay.
You must be 18 or over to enter. Please send your
personal miracle essay to
Carla Schwartz, Platinum Miracle Contest
29200 Northwestern Hwy. Suite 110
Southfield, MI 48034
Or via e-mail with the subject line "Miracle"
to cschwartz@oaklandstyle.com
