Commenting really gives that two-way street that blogging is meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>Very soon I&#8217;m going to put the names of the readers who posted comments and shared stories into a hat and draw out the name of the winner of the MEGA May gift basket.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be announcing the winner sometime this week. When I started this blog, I did it to have a way to converse with readers and to start a source of stories that inspire women.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what career we choose as women, we always have family to care for and love. (We won&#8217;t talk about children in the teen years. GRIN) And I think it is heartening to hear the stories of other women who show strength and bravery in this life that can be so hard at times. From what readers and authors have posted, many of us are in the sandwich generation where we have adult children and parents who need us. We carry a heavy load of love.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ll invite friends to join us here at StrongWomenBraveStories.blogspot.com  so they can be inspired to stand strong for themselves and their families.<\/p>\n<p>Every woman has a story.
