From the Folks at Mandeville Press -- Blessings Stories by Mandeville Press staff In his wonderful book, The Blessings Already Are, John Morton encourages readers to find the blessings in all situations. We are seeking stories about how people -- maybe you -- have been in a difficult or challenging situation, and found the blessing in it. If all goes according to plan, these stories may be the basis for another book. You needn't be a master at writing -- we will be glad to help in that regard. All you need is to be able to communicate your experience in a genuine and heartfelt way. Your story should be uplifting and heartwarming, and, most of all, true. Stories can be as short as a paragraph-- a few paragraphs -- or a few pages. If you have one, please submit it, along with your name and contact info -- especially email address -- so we can be in touch with you. We highly respect your privacy and your contact information is solely for us to be able to reach you regarding this project. It will not be shared with any organizations or put on any mailing list and will only be known to a few people involved with this project. We may also keep identities out of the story if shared in the book. Please feel free to share this request with anyone you know who may have a blessing story they would like to share. Submit your story or a description of your story to: Mandeville Press 3500 W. Adams Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90018 Or e-mail to stories@theblessings.org Or share your story online at www.theblessings.org
