  • Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 250, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    I would like to personally Thank all the entries, when I first opened this contest my intent wasn't to find messages but The Divine & the Universe had a different plan because we know they work in mysterious ways. Your entries were very creative, and a few of them really sent a message through to me this weekend as I was closing a chapter on my life. The confirmations were amazing and I'd like to Thank you for them, and as I read there messages to me I awarded them.

    Without further adieu........

    Gold is awarded to:
    "I'm Waiting"....

    There was a message of confirmation for me in this piece and I'd like to Thank you for that
    Congratulations!

    and Gold was also awarded to:
    "Beyond the Glow of Sun"

    This was a very specific message of confirmation on a part of my life and what I went through...Thank you and Congratulations!

    Silver is awarded to

    "A fruitful transition" another one whom had a meaningful message and confirmation for me also... Thank you so much and Congratulations!

    and Silver was also awarded to

    "Sundowner Somertime"

    If you only knew the confirmations within this poetry. Thank you and Congratulations!

    Bronze is awarded to

    "Glorious Golden Globe"

    Ok I just can't believe the messages here .. Thank you & Congratulations!

    and Bronze is also awarded to

    "The Aura"
    Again Thank You & Congratulations!

    Honorable Winners are awarded to

    "What is this"

    "Golden Ray"

    "Meteorite in the roots"

    "The Golden Chariot's wheel"

    "Rays of Sunshine"

    Thank you all for the messages

    I am in the middle of a new course that I am prepping for and would like to know if I do have your permission to read your work in my courses. If you agree to this I would greatly appreciate you keeping the poetry here and not removing it from the contest and also placing on the poetry page itself in reply to me that you give me the approval to do so with giving you full credit for your work. This is something I would like to do as a whole and would not do it without the consent of all. I would also have you send me a private IM with the title of your poetry and what name you would like me to give credit to whether it be a just a link to your author page here at ap or not.

    So you see...you were all winners today with this contest although I had no idea at the time of opening this or closing it until I started to read in the final judgement stages...and the funny thing is the title that I already had picked out for this contest was "Golden Healer" which is exactly what this picture accomplished with all of your pennings!

    Much Love and Many Blessings to all
    Once again, Thank you for your messages and part in the confirmations for me..
    ~Joy
