Contestant's Case to Win

I created a hot dry spice and called it "Happiness". Now I can say, "Money does buy "Happiness". My Happiness has even won an award. I also have created and sell "Sorrow", an even hotter spice with it's own unique flavor. I am trying to break out into stores and shops around the country, but have no money to do this. I will be selling my spices in a local coffee shop as soon as the coffee shop opens, It was supposed to be in August, but now that has been postponed till further notice. I am a small home-based business. I create my own labels and have filed for a copyright on the names. I am going to get trademarks and patents.

All of this is at my own expense, and I have lost money trying to do this. I have photos on my blog of people with "Happiness" all over the world. I have shipped to Africa, Australia, Israel, and all around the United States. My business is mainly word of mouth.

I am re-entering "Happiness", and now "Sorrow", into the contest I won two years ago. Winning this would really help promote my business. Rick Beaudin, seller of "Happiness" and "Sorrow".

Update:I now need to win all the more, I am going back to school since I am no longer working. I am using all the money from sales of my spice to help pay for school. I will be going to the (Le Cordon Bleu. Start date is 9/29/09
