Hello and I hope you are having a good week! If you live in the USA, I hope you had a nice July 4th holiday.

There is a Essay Contest going on right now through July 26th ending at 11:59pm Pacific Time.
A new book is being released in August by a young woman who suffers from chronic conditions due to only having one kidney.

Her name is Danea Horn, and her book is titled: Who Inspires Your Chronic Resilience? She and nine other women (one who is a cancer victim) give their own accounts about their very different struggles and what gets them through. It sounds very inspiring.

I have promoted it on my blog, Color Me Well, color-me-well.blogspot.com. There you will see links to:
•About Danea
•Eligibility requirements
•Contest rules (they're easy)
•Link to her blog

Winner gets $250, nice gift basket for 2nd and 3rd place. All three essays will get posted on her two sites.

I'm also promoting her (sharing my blog link) on my Twitter page.

If you know someone suffering from chronic physical issues, this just might help them cope--that's what this is all about.

Please 'share' on your favorite social media sites.

Thank you and may you have a blessed and healthy week!
