Congratulations to all. Good work. I have to say I am really shocked. I stretched out of my comfort zone, and thought I didn't have a prayer of placing. Thanks you, judges.

And now for the mandatory happy dancin':

Thank you for my 3rd place in the Beginners! I appreciated the feedback I received as well throughout the week :) . I was reminded this week, as I read through alot of the stories, just how I could relate to alot to some of the feelings/emotions that the other writer's shared. I enjoyed writing my piece and sharing a part of my testimony....so thankful I found this site!
