Some of you may be wondering what my cute friend, Valerie (who I've actually never met), won as her prize. Well, I'll tell you! She was too sweet and didn't really want to ask for anything, but she won and I was going to make good my prize! She pretty much left it in my ball park. Too much freedom for me is not necessarily a good thing! So I hope she liked what I came up with.
*Edited to add: This quote is from the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet, page 5.
Her house seems to be very open to friends and neighbors. . . friends of neighbors. . . neighbors of friends. . . you get the idea. So I thought a powerful quote that might make a difference for one of those passerbys would be appropriate. I lovingly cut out, by hand, with my trusty little exacto knife 113 letters each in hopes that someone somewhere makes a choice for the better. I enjoyed every minute of its creation! 
Maybe one of these days I'll make one for myself!

Awesome!
Beautiful!
Darcee! My mailman just brought this amazing piece of art! I can't thank you enough--it is beautiful. Who said that? I love it! I love that it focuses on agency and your power to choose well. So profound and so amazingly beautiful. After reading this post I am going to hang it in the computer room where all the friends come and roost. I am touched by that thought process and you have made me hope that those "passerbys" believe it, too. So touching.
I can't imagine cutting all those little letters out.... you went to so much work. I am moved by your kindness, and inspired by the sentiment, and glad to have you in my life this way.
Wow.
Much gratitude, and much love-- Valerie
