How do you determine the winner of the Shining Moments Writing Contest?

The post with the greatest number of likes at 1 pm PST on Monday, April 15, 2021. We will post a leaderboard on the Shining Moments main page starting March.

You’re more than welcomed to “like” your own entry and invite your friends to do so. (But you won’t be able to vote repeatedly for yourself. Our system is set up to prevent cheating though.) We believe everyone who participates will experience the uplifting power of words and not only inspire others but enrich their own lives too.
