After being on Fanstory now for ten years I have learned some valuable lessons. Since I have vision and health issues, I need to be with family since I can no longer drive.
Am trying new poetry formats. I recently have written a cinquain, acrostics, non-fiction essays about wildlife, limericks and even created what I call a word acrostic. Word acrostics are where the first word of each line become a special message to the poem. I also created a format called spaceship, which is syllable based. the line are 1,3,6,9,12,9,6,3,1 centered and the words look like spaceships.

My life story is the subject of a radio drama, below is a story of how it all came about.
I live in America, the radio drama was produced in America at the Pacific Garden Mission located in Chicago IL. Pacific Garden Mission is the largest and oldest mission for the homeless and down trodden in the world, it has been running since 1887 or there about. The way my story came about is I sent about 100 pages of stories about my life to the Mission, they in turn passed the stories to a script writer, who took the facts of my story and made it into a drama. There were actors and actresses who played the roles of the various people in my story.

Here is a message I got from the producer of the Unshackled program where my testimony has been produced as a radio drama.

Hello Patricia,

Thanks for the enormous time that you have given to this amazing
endeavor. All that you have shared will be used by the Lord
to assist our script writer with His story in your life.

Have a great day.

Each time I have listened to it, at points it brings me to tears even though I know the story.
For folks who know me, they may or may not hear me as I sound, but I don't know if we really know how we sound to others. The story is true and the events were painful in spots, for me to tell. But I am so glad I did it and pray there will be hearts and minds changed when they hear my story.

Here is a message I received from the director of the unshackled programs about how my story is touching people around the world.

Thanks Patricia!

Your story greatly impacted many listeners around the world.

Blessings, Flossie

When I was 19 years old I was the victim of a date rape and became pregnant as a result. When I went home to my family, I was told that I was to have an abortion. I didn't know what that word meant. I asked my family to explain it to me. When they told me what the word meant, I said, "If there is a God I will not have an abortion, as I do not want to answer for taking the life of my child."
Therefore it was my decision to have my child and to relinquish him for adoption. This was without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.

My motto would be: If you want to try something, go for it, you will either learn or you will achieve the desired.
