Real Stories by Real People - Short Stories to Read Online

The Current Issue of Shoe Woman Magazine
Could be the Last!!!!

While readership of Shoe Woman Magazine has steadily increased, with new sign-ups nearly every day, story contributions are down. Without your stories, there can be no magazine.

I appeal to you, our readers, to keep this magazine alive by sharing your stories. Our vision has always been to connect people through the wisdom and power of our stories. Our vision has been to make a stand for acceptance and understanding in celebration of both our differences and
our commonalities.

I value our readers and contributors alike. But to keep going, to make our vision reality, we need more people willing to share. We know the prospect of writing personal stories can be intimidating, bringing up fears that the writing might not be "good enough" or that the story may not be well-received. But I can promise you two things:

1) whatever you write from the heart, from the truth of who you are, makes a difference in other people's lives, and
2) the words you choose are not important (besides, we'll fix any boo-boos in grammar or punctuation) - it is the spirit of your story that will never fail to bless others.

We need stories for our next issue-stories of family, friendship, career, travel, culture, pets, children, and anecdotes of the sometimes funny, sometimes awe-inspiring moments of life.

Your life is important. Your life has the power to inspire, entertain, encourage, support and comfort. Please allow us to extend the gift of your life to people everywhere.

Gratefully,

Charlotte R. Brown, editor
