CONGRATULATIONS! to Shirley Showalter who received the most votes for her story, “How I Became a Gutsy Mennonite.”
We had 4 outstanding “My Gutsy Story®” authors in December, and first I’d like to congratulate all of them. Their stories will be included in our 2nd “My Gutsy Story®” Anthology, published in the Fall of 2014.
- Jon Magidsohn: January 6th
- Gillian Jackson: January 13th
- Eleanor Vincent: January 20th
- Shirley Showalter: January 27th
2nd Place:
Jon’s story touched so many of us. He wrote about how he mourned the loss of his wife with his 10-month-old son.
3rd Place:
Eleanor’s story about letting go, and allowing her beautiful 19-year-old daughter, Maya, to die, brought tears to so many.
Gillian Jackson shares how she finally opened up about her childhood abuse after 40 years of silence.
Thank you to all four authors. We know that all of you are WINNERS.
