     Richard, Thanks for connecting via Shirley Sholwater’s blog. I met her in Santa Barbara before either one of us had a blog, and the good news is both of us have continued. I wish you all the best with your memoir.

   Besides learning about some fascinating folks, I was introduced to Muriel’s blog this month. Thanks, Sonia, and have a great (and maybe published!) 2012.

   Thanks Bob.
   I’m glad these stories are connecting us. I think Muriel has an interesting angle: to write from the French woman’s perspective about living in England. Good luck to you too with your blogging and books. Mine will be out this year.

   Sonia, I’ve been tracking the votes each day. Then I received this comment on a social media site, and realized that the contest is not the main thing. The impact the story has on others is the main thing! Thanks for the vehicle to spread these stories and their impact around the world!

   “Thank you for sharing this story. I am sending it to my little brother. He is struggling right now with drugs and alcohol; and has left home because of it. I pray he reads this. I have invited him to Shoal Creek and am hoping he comes. It is encouraging to know there are people like you that can help impact people to change.”

     Richard,

     I thank you for sharing this Richard, as I also read, and posted a comment from Jill Fales, our first winner, who expressed how these stories are helping others in one way or another. I am so grateful for this and know that your story can help and inspire others. Thanks and good luck. Please keep in touch even after the results from December’s contest. I hope to continue featuring these wonderful stories.
