Winner of the August “My Gutsy Story” contest
Congratulations to Laura Dennis, winner of the August “My Gutsy Story” contest who succeeded in getting 122 votes from all her fans. I also want to congratulate Sharon Melton Lippincott in second place, as well as Heidi Morrell and Barbara Ehrentreu for sharing their inspiring stories.
Laura Dennis, 1st Place
Laura Dennis
Congratulation to Laura Dennis.
Sonia Marsh Says: Laura, what a thought-provoking story about being both the adoptive mother, the adopted child and the birth mother.
Sharon Melton Lippincott
Sharon Melton Lippincott takes 2nd place.
Sonia Marsh Says: Your story is about taking risks, even though you might be risking disapproval and/or disappointment with a family member. As Samantha White commented, “We can find it within ourselves every time we choose to break a pattern of behavior.”
Heidi Morrell
Heidi Morrell, came in 3rd place.
Sonia Marsh Says: Heidi Morell is a true inspiration to all of us, especially when we take our health for granted. Heidi has MSA and reminds us to “appreciate what we have right now,” and that, “it can always be worse.”
Barbara Ehrentreu 4th place winner.
Sonia Marsh Says: Barbara Ehrentreu shared her beautiful story of the power of love, and how her “gutsy” decision at twenty, was the right one for her.
