Dear friends,
Not official winners , but I am a winner and so is my friend Christina
Winners because we defeated the odds of writing and finishing our manuscripts. A feat we have never done before… Along with a host of other things. One thing is for me is my aphasia. Which was tough to do with the aphasia but I did it anyways. I cannot speak for Christina…. I hope Christina you do not mind me saying that. Also, we feel great about it. My faith sustained me throughout the entire process and I believe it was the same for Christina.
Thank You all for your support, following, prayers etc…. I did not win that one, but won in a sense with our own guidelines and such we came across with flying colors. And with the said I will be formatting the e-book for my chapbook of poetry and will be posted to get here on this blog… ( rosaryandredsox.com )

After I got this msg I got a message on my phone it was great it was a youtube sent out by Brooke Warner a writer, memoirists… among other things. You will I believe that you like https://youtu.be/uD1g0Ajq9uk .what you hear and see that every short video.
Along with I watched the mass was wonderful I was reminded about Jesus time on the crucifix he said. ”My God my God why have you forsaken me”. Well I didn’t feel exactly like that but some people do and we do get that were only human. But, the feeling of rejection is there I am just moving on as I said earlier. So watch video and maybe it will shed some light on situation of being rejected with writing or other things. Maybe there are other things to get out of it. There are other avenues we can take as writers and she explains it in the video. At least that’s what I got out of it please write what you think and feel I really would appreciate that thank you so much.
God loves you.
