Calling all women with stories of resilience. Might you have a true story from your own life that will inspire other women about their own strength and resilience? Might it touch the heart and renew the spirit and would you like to share your story with others?

We’re calling for submissions for a book of short stories to be published in Australia in 2016.

Help us create a book of stories about women and their resilience!

So many women are resilient. We bounce back from tough times, we develop strength to cope in life, we look for the positive learning in a challenging situation, we find humour in the situation, we look at what has to be let go of and what can be accepted, we seek support and learn to look after ourselves no matter what the challenge.

How do you manage to be resilient in such times in life? Do you call on family and/or friends? Do you call on a universal energy bigger than yourself to offer solace, guidance and direction? Do you remember past challenges and what you learnt and apply that learning in the current context? Do you use humour to deal with whatever is happening? Or do you do something quite different?

We are creating a book of short stories about women and resilience to be published in Australia in 2016 and we’re seeking exciting and moving stories to be included.

We’re looking for stories that will be inspiring to other women. Stories that will touch the heart and bring a smile of happiness and/or tears of joy, stories of women who turned something challenging into a positive experience.

Do you have a story to tell from your own life or that of another woman that you know who developed resilience to manage a situation or a life event?

Your story might be about an unusual event or something from everyday life, it might invite us to reflect on the values described in the story, or the strength of body, mind and spirit to deal with the particular situation.

We’d love to hear your story with the possibility of it being included in the book. Bear in mind that our intention is that the stories will connect with the heart and revive the spirit!

For further information about submitting your story, please add your details to the email box on the right side of the blog and the information will be sent instantly to you inbox.

We look forward to receiving your story for consideration to be published.
