Over the years I have learned many lessons in life. The two biggest things that I have learned is that life is too short to have regrets and the second lesson that I have learned is to love completely without limits. Recently I got really sick and I realized how little I have laughed lately and how much time I was focused on the non-important things in life and decided no more. I am doing the things that I love now and enjoying every second of it.

My wish list for books is ongoing, however my time to read is so limited. I would love to have just one day to do nothing but read. Maybe one day.

I know that takes courage to submit your work and wait to see what the judges think. There were so many talented entries. The judges were very impressed. There were over 60 entries and 7 judges, it still took use about 5 hours to read, judge, and tally all the votes. Every entry was read. I want to encourage everyone to enter again next year.
