"Sister Helen Mrosla, a Franciscan nun, submitted "All the Good
Things" to Proteus, A Journal of Ideas in 1991. Her article also
appeared in Reader's Digest that same year, was reprinted in the
original Chicken Soup for the Soul book in 1993, and was offered yet
again in 1996's Stories for the Heart."
