Thank you @melissastoller for the wonderful critique from my #50Preciouswords win! Kind, thoughtful, and focused. So grateful for this opportunity Vivian Kirkfield :)

Due to a migraine, I couldn't properly thank all involved in #50PreciousWords! Thank you. Incredibly, FINDING BRIGHTNESS IN THE DARKNESS earned recognition in the tough topics category. Editors, my lovely agent Amy Amy Giuffrida CLOSED TO QUERIES UNTIL 10/1 can help if you'd like to see the full story.

Joyce Frank Time to pick your #50PreciousWords prize, Joyce. Please email me. ❤️❤️❤️
