When they constrain you with a limit on words everything feels blocked. I must be inspired even for the worst of writing a story. You nailed it obviously. Your approach is simple and flows well. I think you'll be successful if you aren't already.

    Thank you very much for this super review Eean. I am very appreciative especially as it had expired. Thanks too for the amazing six stars! I am honoured. (This one came a tie for second).

Hello, Wendy!
I so enjoyed reading your post.
You may have felt "unwanted, awkward, and inadequate" as a young girl, but you exude kindness and brilliance in all of the posts that I have had the privilege to read and review.
I had no idea that your childhood and early adulthood were filled with so many challenges.
You have made this world - my world - a beautiful place to call home.
I am honored to know you and am so grateful our paths have crossed.

Fondly,
diane

This is an excellent write up summarizing your life in 150 words with your faith central to learning to make the most from the life you were given.

Very well done, and I also enjoyed your presentation.

Many thanks for sharing. :)

You've made the world's most scrumptious lemonade from your lemons, dear woman. I find you a quintessential example of how a person should turn out and conduct themselves. You are gracious, kind, fair, honest, smart and talented, and feel very lucky that our paths have crossed. I hope I see this in the Winner's Circle! xoxoxo

I considered this contest, but had no clue where or how to begin telling my life story in so few words. You did a fantastic job giving the highlights by focusing on feelings of inadequacy and insecurity, to advancing to confidence, success and love. Your artwork pairs perfectly.

I enjoyed your story. I like the way you colored each section. Very creative. The writing was very good and descriptive. Good luck in the contest. I taught too for 18 years and enjoyed it.

I'm particularly impressed with your presentation here which excellently and succinctly conveys the important strands of your life. There is an evolution from awkward and inadequate to hopeful, believing and dreaming. And all along the way your journey has been guided by your faith and ambition. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Never too late! Some of my writing clients are well up in their eighties and writing a mile a minute. I like the way you tie your life stages to spirituality and also the presentation. Good luck!

I think we all have to start somewhere, I didn't start writing till I was 45, I wrote some lyrics, put some music to it, recorded 36 professional songs , then turned to writing, and here I am, never knowing I could do it, beautifully done, you will get there, blessings Roy
