Challenge 8

---

We’re overwhelmed by your response to our  8th Challenge.   It was wonderful to read stories and poems from writers who took the first Beans' challenge, and to welcome  so many new storytellers.    New Beginnings prompted  so many personal memories and incidents - some poignant, some amusing  and some that were life changing.    We read accounts of arriving to make a new life in Australia. We felt your pain and sadness at the loss of loved ones and the wonder and thrill of new life.  We shared the excitement of venturing into the unknown and coping with the pandemic.  I hope you enjoy my editor picks.   

Happy writing.  Jane Cameron
