Colleen!!!
A while back I asked people to post comments about the brave girls & women in their lives. Then I used a random number generator to pick someone to win a
Brave Girl t-shirt.
Thank goodness I didn't have to choose someone to win because all the
comments were amazing. Colleen has been enjoying her shirt for a few months now, but I thought I should let everyone know.
Here's what she wrote:
When I saw this come across my e-mail I tried to think of who I consider a brave girl/women. The only answer I became happy with was all of the girls in my life. Why do I need to pick one? All of my friends each have something unique to share and an beautiful personal story to tell. Lorrie is a survivor of breast cancer, Denise is an outspoken woman who would go to the ends of the earth to help someone, Natalie is called Nifty Natalie for a reason, she puts together rallies and organizes out community, Brenda has stopped a pimp and ho party from happening because she got someone to realize it was degrading to others, Cheryl has raised two children on her own and then turned around and adopted another child even though she was struggling. The point is yes, we owe each other some credit for being brave and wonderful so why do we only have a month for it? Everday we should recognize a brave girl/women in our life. Everyday we should make it a point to say thank you! In conclusion, THANK YOU for writing this blog and getting us to recognize someone brave/wonderful although you did have to put in the chance to win free gear for someone to write in! I suppose it is like the rice game. . .some may have done it if you had not put in the free gear but the added incentive never hurts in this society!
This giveaway thing was really fun. I loved reading about all the inspiring girls and women you know. Stay tuned--I'll do another one soon!
