We'd like to share a part of one of the essays we received that expresses our emotions:
"Thankfulness is about learning from the good and bad experiences of life's journey and using them to help others. It's about being grateful for the opportunity despite the outcome while at the same time, trusting in the divine guidance of the universe. It's the simple things that fill our souls and warm our hearts. It's the ability to embrace our dreams which carries us through with incredible determination and the courage to succeed."

"101 Finalists"
Soon to be Published
A publisher has expressed interest in publishing
the best essays! They are truly awesome and we can't
wait to share them. There are so many dear hearts and
unspoken needs represented by these
stories. We hope the entrants know that as we read their
essays we offered a prayer for them.
Also:
John wrote a book of love poems (to win his bride) and we will be publishing that as well. It's called "An Ancient Spell" as revealed to John Williams ("An ancient spell from a distant time, one hundred tributes and you'll be mine. My inspiration is the essence of you, as you read, it all comes true. So if you don't want me for all time, don't read the poem after ninety-nine.")
Here is a sample poem:
Today the world says spin your wheels
we pursue the riches, we make our deals
storing up things, we win and win
hoarded possessions, will it ever end?
When we're called in from the game that we play
we find we have nothing, it's all gone away.
The pursuits of our life may be easy and cheap
but only the gifts of the heart can we keep.
I open my heart and reveal my treasure
I offer you all, gifts beyond measure.
Everyone who orders a copy of "101 Finalists" can also get a copy of John's book of poetry at half price.
* If you would like updates when either becomes available,
please send an email to: promote (at) winhawaiianhome
(dot) com (replace with appropriate symbols, we're
trying to avoid the 'bots) and type "101
Finalists" or "Ancient Spell" (or both) in the Subject line.
