Congratulations to Larry Jacobson, the winner of the February “My Gutsy Story” contest with 110 votes. Larry wrote an amazing story called: “How I Chose Passion Over Fear and Sailed the World.”

Larry is the perfect example of someone who follows his passion and puts fear to the side.  You can download a free chapter of his book at: http://larryjacobsonauthor.com .

Brooke, what an amazing number of fans you have. I noticed how they all came over to vote for you within the last few days. Well done. I love the way you are following your passion for Broadway plays. I can tell this is going to become a part of your life, with all the joy and energy you put into it.  If you haven’t read Brooke’s “My Gutsy Story,” please click here.

Anne shared her personal story of how she reconnected with your daughter who left home at seventeen. I know many mothers can relate, and I am grateful that you were so honest.

Barbara, I know you were concerned about fewer votes, but everyone read, and enjoyed your story. I think you’re like me: you don’t like to ask people to “please vote for me.” Your story of reconnecting with a “dad” who wasn’t there for you growing up, and meeting your half-sister later on in life, after your mother’s cruel words, shows us how you had the courage to rise above the heartache.
