Life Moments for Women celebrates National Girlfriends Day and National Sisters Day with a new Girlfriends and Sisters Life Moment Contest!

August is a terrific month for women! It begins with National Girlfriends Day and a few days  later, on August 5, both National Sisters Day and National Friendship Day are celebrated. In honor of sisters and girlfriends everywhere, the authors of the recently published Life Moments for Women book, a sweeping collection of personal turnings points of 108 extraordinary women from all over the State of California, want to celebrate by sharing a fun contest with you!

Life Moments for Women came into being through the friendship between authors, Patty DeDominic and Maureen Ford. Many of the stories of the remarkable 100+ women in the book revolve around girlfriends, sisters and friendship, just as many of our lives revolve around our girlfriends and our sisters, who are often one and the same. It’s time to celebrate them!

Life Moments for Women wants to celebrate girlfriends and sisters by reading one of your “life-moments.”

Share a story about a turning point in your life with your girlfriend and/or sister and your story will be posted on the Life Moments for Women blog. Plus you’ll win a $100 Amazon gift certificate or have $100 donated to the non-profit of your choice that serves women.

Here’s your chance to tell the world about that special moment you shared with your girlfriend and/or sister. Write the story in 350 words or less in a Word file or in an email and send it to lifemomentsforwomen@hotmail.com. Include your contact information and make sure it is sent no later than July 31.

Our independent judges will pick the best story, and it will be announced on our website on August 3, 2012 as well as in a press release distributed over the Internet, and posted on the www.lifemomentsforwomen blog*. The winner will receive a copy of Life Moments for Women signed by the authors and be interviewed by Patty De Dominic for a radio feature on the Life Moments for Women website. The winner will also receive her choice of a $100 Amazon gift certificate or have a donation made in your name to your favorite non-profit that serves women.
