The first Hear My Story contest was a big success. I want to thank everyone who participated, you certainly didn't make my choice easy. I hope you will all participate next month.

The contest rules are as follows. The story can be no longer than 2,000 words, must be YouTube friendly, and be submitted on the social media site Minds with the #hearmystory along with tagging my account so that I can find it. All entries must be in before the assigned deadline. Next Deadline is May 8, 2022. Any entries received after this date will be counted toward the next month.

The winning story,
