Sincere thanks to everyone who voted for me. I truly did not believe I stood any chance against such outstanding competition. And many congratulations to all the contributors in every category. All wonderful entries and I found it extremely difficult to choose who to vote for. :thinking:

Peace and Joy

O my dear good Goddess... I'm speechless. I never thought I'd have a harp, never ever! :hug:

As always, the entries were incredible, stirring, inspiring... thank you all!

all blessings of a bright Lughnassadh,

Peace over anger. Honour over hate. Strength over fear.
