Before I announce this giveaway’s winner, I just want to say how moved I am by everyone’s responses this week. It has been really amazing to hear from some of you about how having an ostomy has changed your life. I am so thankful for all of your willingness to share your stories and to encourage me with your attitudes and acceptance of, let’s face it, a difficult thing. Thank you for sharing your stories! Here are some great excerpts from the comments that I wanted to include…
“I had my ostomy surgery a year and a half ago, and I still stand by it being one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. I feel good.” – Anna
“I thought the life of an ostomate meant embarrassment, shame, looks of pity, etc but if folks are talking, let them talk. Hopefully they’re saying how my life is a testament of God’s mercy and divine grace. My outlook on life has been forever changed.” -Ava
“I received my ileostomy almost 2 years ago. It was supposed to be temporary, but after experiencing life without the pain, or being chained to a toilet I decided to keep my ileo.” – Carolyn
“My Ostomy has not only changed my life and health, but it’s brought some amazing people into my life. I’ve learned how to give back and love in a whole different way.” -Lori
You guys really are amazing! But, without further ado…

Krissy Westcott!!

Congratulations, Krissy! Thank you so much for entering. Please just send me an email over to stephanie@stolencolon.com and let me know where I should send it to. Also, take a look at Awestomy’s site and let me know what item you want and what size, color, etc.
I am actually so excited that Krissy won because she is a brand new ostomate! She just had her surgery about a month ago and is already seeing a big change in her life. Krissy, I am so glad to hear that you’re being able to keep up with your son’s activities since your surgery. Now get pick yourself out something pretty!
Much love to all of you again for your support and taking part in my giveaways this month. I’ve had a lot of fun with it and I hope you all enjoyed it, too. I’ll be looking forward to doing some more in the future. Happy Holidays, everyone!
And thank you again to Awestomy for being a part of this.
