Daily writing prompt
Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

Luci Shaw is an author who has “had a positive impact” on my life. I enjoy reading and rereading her books. You can view Luci Shaw’s page at Amazon and also visit her Official Website.

Her books have been with me through many life chapters, including grief and health challenges. She is an excellent writer, poetry and prose.

More meaning is added when I reread one of her books that helped me through a difficult time. I grow ever more grateful for my simple daily life.
