| kristencastillo

I had an amazing time at the San Diego Press Club’s annual journalism awards. It was the chapter’s 50th anniversary! I’ve been a board member of the Press Club for nearly a decade and I’ve been a member for a lot longer than that.

In addition to enjoying the awards gala, I was honored to receive three awards for my writing: two for “House Digest” articles and one for retirement blogs for a client of mine.

Here’s are the award winning “House Digest” articles: Best Vacation Rentals in Charleston, S.C. and “Quick and Easy Decluttering in Less Than 10 Minutes.”

Here’s my response:

Don’t give up. It gets better but it might take time. In the face of a challenge, make the best of the situation; always take care of yourself; and lean on loved ones for support.

I would want that person to not give up hope. What would your advice be?
