Original Manuscript: This is your writing: a minimum of one paragraph of approximately 80 words and a maximum of four paragraphs of approximately 250 words. The goal of the writing is to offer hope to workaholics for balance in their lives and increased awareness. This goal is well achieved when our words come from our hearts instead of straight from our minds. Think of it as a share coming from love and service. Submit as many manuscripts as you want to; but please keep each one to a single topic or theme and use a separate form for each one. At the end, you may offer a summary sentence, precious phrase, affirmation or prayer, as you see in the examples. *
