A few weeks ago, I wrote about being a finalist in three writing contests.
Today, I am proud and excited to announce that The Space Between: A Memoir of Mother-Daughter Love at the End of Life WON the following awards:
2016 May Sarton Women’s Book Award for Memoir
2016/2017 Reader’s Views Reviewers Choice Award Regional Best from West Pacific, and First Place Memoir/Autobiography/Biography
(I won’t know the results of the third contest for a few more weeks)
Winning—being a winner—feels great.
At first, I said, “I’ve never won anything before.” I then began to ponder winning and realized I’ve always been a winner. Here are a few examples of how:
Yes, today I am a winner, but I always have been and always will be as long as I remain mindful of what and who I have to be thankful for.
And so, in honor of winning, I invite YOU to take the time to write down all the ways you’ve won and continue to win.
