... not me :(
I won't lie, it made me sad not to win. It's hard to enter a contest as personal as this one. I'm being judged on me, my story, and what comes out of my heart not how good my photography is or isn't.
To be honest, not many people could compete with a woman who has adopted 10 children, 6 of them being special needs. I couldn't.
I guess the question is, "Do I regret it?"
No, I don't. I made myself vulnerable and received an amazing response from many of you and that made it worth it. You didn't judge me against anyone else, just read about who I really am and opened your arms to me. Thank you.
So now I just pick myself up again and keep going. It may take me longer to get there now but I'll get there. You who have been with me the last year and a half know nothing can stop me.

So sorry miss! Your entry was amazing and really showed people a deep side of you...that is a good thing :)
well i can admit it....I'm addicted to your blog! Love checking to see what's up with you! I'm a huge fan and love that I feel like I know you without having ever met you! You rock!
I am disappointed as well! There is no way that you couldn't be the winner if they even knew you just a little bit! Now you have me thinking that your network needs to somehow get you to this event on our own....
Suzanne - You are aamzing in every single way and I personally am so glad you shared that "window to you" because now I feel like I know you even better and realize that you are even more beautiul to me now than you were before.
