Holding Hands

Did you hear? It's My Story time again!

The My Story feature for World Pulse Magazine was such a success, we will be offering this opportunity in the PulseWire community for all future editions. For our next edition, themed Embody, we are asking for submissions on the topic of "Holding Hands."

We invite you to tell us your own story about "Holding Hands," whatever this phrase evokes in you. The top 6-8 stories will be published in the magazine and three will receive a $100 honorarium.

Do you have a story that begins with another person’s hand in yours? Do you have strong memories of the wrinkled hand of a beloved grandmother? Has your life been changed by the grasping hand of a child? The reassuring hand of a friend?

We invite you to tell us a story about “holding hands,” whatever this phrase evokes in you. Do you see holding hands as a revolutionary act? An opening for a heart connection? A bridge across generations? A cure for loneliness? An antidote to violence? Can holding hands change the world?

Your story might explore themes of mentorship, connection, taboo, solidarity, violence, relationships, sensuality, family, love, friendship, healing, bridging difference, or anything in between. We encourage you to broadly interpret the theme.
