11:14 PM Posted by MS.NOVA

To celebrate the 100^th International Women’s Day, it seemed right to put out the call to my wonderful friends, readers and mentors, whose stories have always encouraged me.

“…but i love me more” (the book) will be a collection of non-fiction personal essays which detail intimate experiences of overcoming life’s obstacles and living to tell the tale. If your ‘past pain has propelled your future progress’ then we want to share your story. This is a wonderful opportunity to show your strength in order to encourage others who may be in a similar situation right now.

· If you are interested in contributing (or know someone who should share her story) please send it by APRIL 15th to: butilovememore@gmail.com. Include your essay in the body of the email and as an attachment with the subject line of But I Love Me More - Book.

· Submissions should be over 500 words.

· If you care to use an alias(s) we respect and will comply with that.

· All ages are welcome (those over 50, we really want to hear your wisdom!)

Use your humor, sincerity and natural story-telling style to share your experience. Some ideas to consider.

· explain the biggest challenge/life changing moment in your life to date.

· describe your headspace when you were in the midst of it.

· who supported you?

· who/what inspired you? (people, books, music, places, food)

· when did you decide “I’ve had enough” and how did you move forward?

· describe in detail the action you took and what results you saw.
