And the Winner is.........

It's giveaway time!  Over the past week we have been so touched and inspired by all of your stories.  You are all strong, wonderful, joyful women!  Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your lives with us.  And now the time has come to announce a winner!  It was a crazy difficult decision- we wish everyone could win!  But a decision had to be made and so...

Congratulations to Stephanie Pacheco!  

Stephanie is a young mother who experienced terrible sickness during her pregnancies with her two children. Even when she was sick for months at a time, barely able to eat, Stephanie somehow managed to take care of all the housework and her family while her husband was at work and school.  She also has chronic eye problems that, aside from being uncomfortable, affect her vision and make her sensitive to light.  Even though this makes it very difficult to complete the many responsibilities of a wife and mother, she manages her home and nurtures her family with love, patience and strength.  Her husband, Luis, sent us her story and he said it best-  "Every day is a challenge, but she rises to meet it with strength of character and love.  I love my wife with all of my heart.  She is my light and my reason."

Thank you Stephanie!  You are truly an amazing woman.
