Announcing the WINNERS of The SPRING FRESH CONTEST! (EDITED!!)

A WONDERFUL SHOW OF SUPPORT! I am humbled each time the POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul group holds a contest and the community gets together with a show of support. The entries are always beautifully thought out and written to display the theme for each. With a Spring Cleaning.....and Fresh Ideas.....For Changing Times theme there were creative minds running rampant across the rain.

My Spring Fresh non entry A Wonderful Change With A Spring Fresh Future! Told my own story of my beautiful daughter's wedding after a long journey of finding ....herself. Others told their own views of cleansing from the inside out to brushing up on marketing for their business. WE ALL had a story to tell and in turn it brought loads of inspiration, motivation and a sense of camaraderie that we all strive for in these changing times.

~~~~~~~~

Bottom line, you all contributed to this community to give inspiration, motivation and positive attitudes for any weary soul during this spring in changing times.

I thank & applaud you all for making this Spring Fresh Contest a Huge Success!

The Judges Who Worked So Hard over the past couple of days to read ALL 52 entries and come to an agreement for places:

Kathy McGraw Realtor® in Banning, CA- Celling Realty. She also moderates for the POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul group and has been a consistent voice in ActiveRain for almost two years. With her ‘no bones about it' she is the essence of "being positive does not mean I let you run over me"
Ann Cummings RE/MAX Coast to Coast - Portsmouth New Hampshire Ann is a 2.5 year veteran member of ActiveRain and one of my favorite Localism writers (honestly...one of my mentors) She has supported all of our members throughout her time here and one of the most 'real' people with her straight forward attitude.
Linda Bourgault is one of my dearest friends from Hawaii and we initially met because of my affiliation with her husband Bruce (he was a loan officer who frequented our office often). Since his death, it took her a year before she came back to ActiveRain...and in full force!
Deb Brooks Lake Livingston Real Estate, in Huntsville, TX is founder of one of my favorite groups Diary of a Realtor and most recently started her outside blog for the group with loads of wonderful entries for not just real estate...but everything real estate industry related (which is just about everything).

Mahalo (thank you) Nui Loa (very much) for your awesome contributions to the POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul group and to the ActiveRain Community!

This is the true meaning of connecting and networking with the community and our pears.

WooHoo!

~~~~~~~~~

EDIT: A complaint came in regarding the first place winner's (Sheldon) number of written words. Including the title it was 381 words total. The four judges may or may not have noticed the number of written words but obviously felt that Sheldon took a lot of time and effort to put together a video...let alone upload and post the embed code into his post.

We all learn by trial and error here on ActiveRain and we surely have compassion for the ones who DO take the time and effort to put together any post with originality and engage the reader. Sheldon engaged the reader to the fullest extent (IMO) with not only his written words but with his video (spoken words) and I do commend him.

It is with this concern that one brings to our attention that we learn through every contest that we have to be as detailed as possible....we all are human and do err on the side of being human. I will add the video as being an option for X amount of words in my next contest. FOR SURE! It is with video that shows a real side of the topic.

I apologize for any inconvenience, stress, heartache or let down this may have caused anyone although I feel that I run this group and the contests to the best of my ability and though not perfect continue to strive to achieve the highest quality of the POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul group.

Your support is truly appreciated and if you would like to voice your opinions and concerns you may contact me directly. Thanks!

Congrats to the winners. There was some amazing writing going on here!! I enjoyed all of them!

Way to go Sheldon, William, Janeann, and all the other contributors. What a fun contest Sally, Linda, Kathy, Ann, Deb which brought out some great writing for springtime. WooHoo to everyone!!

Wonderful group of WINNERS, Sally. ActiveRain stars all. Thanks for doing the hard work Sally.

Congatulation to all winners.

Congratulations to everyone! Sally and the judges did such hard work, thank you for that. Sheldon was very different as usual, Richard wrote his own poem, Janeann, how wonderful! And to all the rest, you contributed to our AR collection of awesome posts! :D

Congratulations to the winners and to all who entered this contest! We had a lot of reading, and re-reading to do in this one, and every entry was a pleasure to read! Many thanks to all who provided us such great reading and so many wonderful ideas to help all of us 'spring fresh'.

These were some of the most fun posts i've read in a contest in a while :)

Congrads to all the entries, and especially to the contest winners as those were some awesome entries!

Sally...

Great contest, I am thrilled to be recognized amongst all of the talented writers that participated. Now, get some well deserved rest! Aloha.

45 entries, that's impressive! Seems like a lot of people are feeling that "Spring Fresh" air... I'm just getting back to AR after a week or two away for other things, and I think I'll start my catch-up reading right here with your list.

Such a wonderful collection of essays. Thanks for doing this Sally. It was fun to participate. Congrats to all the winners and the judges!

Congratulations to all of the winners! What a wonderful contest. Thank you to the judges, too, for all of their hard work.

Wow!!!! Great contest WooHoo. I have been too busy to read these posts but did read Sheldon's yesterday. Very well done and deserving of recognition.

Great job Sally.

Congrats to all the winners and participants.

I'm still trying to read all these and am enjoying them all. Great work everybody!

Sally, you are amazing and this contest reflects how you have touched all of us on AR. Congratulations on inspiring such beautiful posts and thank yoou for all that you do for us here on AR!

Sally - Congrats to Sheldon and everyone who entered this great contest! And thank you Sally for coming up with this great idea for a contest. I love this.

I've been a little off the grid lately as the spring fresh market has taken up all of Lisa's and my time lately. Will get back into the Rain after I do some business that needs tending too presently.

PS: Funny thing is Sheldon didn't wear any of those hats when we met......ha ha.....

Thanks again Sally!

Woo Hoo Sally...

I knew Sheldon was going to take home the prize with his post. Congrats to him and all the winners :)

TLW...ROAR!

Great post and everyone is a winner. I love posts like this. Have a great weekend.

Congratulations for all who entered. There is lots of good reading here from everyone who participated. When one learns we all win!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS! There were some incredible posts in those groups! What an inspiring bunch of folks! Thanks!

Sally--You always inspire great entries with your contests. Another batch of deserving winners and runners up...Must be very difficult to judge with so many good writers in the Rain. :)

This is a great! congratulations to all who won and to others who entered the contest as well.

Patricia Aulson/Portsmouth NH Real Estate

Hi Sally - Thanks so much for yet another wonderful contest. Thanks for the list as well. This will make for lots of great, positive reading over the next few weeks.

This was a neat contest, Sally, and I had the great opporutnity to read some of these post. Hope to get to more of them. Congratulations to the winners.

Jeff

THat's a hard job judging a contest when there are so many great entries. Congrats to all! KM

Sally, it's been a while since I've participated in or judged a contest. As you know, I used to be involved almost all the time. Real estate has been keeping me (too) busy lately.

Kudos on a great contest, terrific participation, etc. I'll have to go back and read some of these fine entries.

What a spectacular success Sally! Thanks for putting so much time into creating this contest. Congratulations to all the winners who entered the "Spring Fresh Contest!"

Congratulations to the winners! This was a fun contest to enter. Thanks to all the judges and a huge thank you to Sally for putting this all together!!!!

Sally - Thanks for organizing the contest and congrats to all of the winners! You rock!

Congratulations to the Wi balloon nners..It was FUN...

LOVE SPRING FRESH and THANK YOU TO The JUDGES

Congratulations to the Winners and to all that participated! I have tag several for further reading. It is amazing how many posts you miss in a couple weeks! Outstanding contest!

Sally and to the judges, great job here.... I just sooo loved Sheldon's blog... very creative and yes, actually fresh.... and congrats to all who entered and to thr runner ups...

Jeff Belonger

Congrats to all the winners! A lot of these posts were really great.

Well that's a nice way to start your weekend !!!!!!

I had 6 showings this morning and return to such fun news from this contest !!!!

I am totally honored to have been recognized by the judges for my entry ! ... I truly enjoyed writing and reading for this contest (and creating a little video ;o)

This was a great, timely topic Sally, and you and the judges deserve a huge amount of credit for diligently getting through dozens of entries and posting winners so promptly !

... again, this is a real thrill to have my post up there with the other chosen ones

Cheers Sally !

Sheldon

Hi Sally, Thank you so much for creating such an atmosphere for people to be able to express themselves so wonderfully. Congratulations to all the entries because without all the participation, without the the amazing support of ActiveRain front office and the without difficult work effort by those that judge it, nothing like this would even be possible.

How many of us, before blogging, would have made the effort to express things in writing the way we do today. Book writers, educators have used the written work to inspire, to teach. Today through the efforts of blogging networks like ours, we are each given a change to write in meaningful ways to express ourselves and to learn techniques of communication like nothing that has ever existed before. Our words and thoughts are even memorialized for as long as we might like them to be.

For those that use the opportunity to express our Positive Attitude, we are then rewarded with many gifts. Life's most valuable gifts. The gifts of friendship and the gift of being a part of something that is so worthwhile and uplifting. Being a part of something bigger and more wonderful than even the individuals themselves ( which are pretty awesome already).

Taking the time to allow our most inner self a chance to grow by pulling the best out of what's in us is a totally rewarding experience. Much like athletes use exercise and pumping iron to build their musculature, by each of us exercising our creative mind anchored with a caring soul, those characteristics in each of us grow and become even bigger.

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of the group and for encouraging our writing to be even bigger than we are. The song from Josh Groban that I had dedicated last Mother's day to my mother comes to mind in his inspiring words of " You Raise Me Up To More Than I Can Be.......

Gary: A bunch of talent I'd agree!

Lenn: Thanks for your support Lenn...No matter what...all involved put a lot of time, effort and passion into it :)

Andrea: Oh...the judges worked hard...believe me. Everyone was a winner!

Ann: Oh...I thank you and the others tremendously for all your help! Congratulations all!

Martha: A big congratulations to EVERYONE that entered...thanks Martha!

Christopher/Stephanie: Everyone surely is...the time they put into it was a feat in itself!

Tracy: Come by next time....you'll see the passion every single time :)

Richard: So much talent here in the Rain....You and everyone deserve the recognition!

Margaret: Actually, counting the winners were 52 entires! Thanks margaret..you always support the community :)

Janice: Glad you could enter yours as well....it really was how i started getting better at blogging...the challenge. :)

Holly: thank you too!

Carole: No kidding....and to think...all quality posts with no trying to game here :) Thanks Carole...I know you'll be wandering through the entries :)

BB: No kidding. Glad you're busy...and Sheldon is such a card. Thanks BB...

Ann: Wonderful...good reads for sure!

Diane: Thanks Diane...everyone helps by engaging, involving themselves and surely the hard work!

Robert: Great! Yeah...didn't think Sheldon ran around with all those huge hats :)

TLW: They appreciate your appreciation and Sheldon is just too funny...I'm glad the judges saw his talent as well :)

Terry: Everyone surely is! You have a wonderful weekend too!

June: Congratulation to you too...you worked just as hard! Thank you for participating!

Carol: I agree! I love to see all the talent come out to join in!

Teri: To say the least...it brings out the best in some and surely shows a transparent side...a human side :)

Sally this had to be a tough one for the Judges to judge, but I would say they got it right.

Congratulations to all the winners.

I missed the post that said this was going on. I'm really sorry I missed it!

Sally - as always some real inspiration can be found here it looks like I have a lot of reading to do.

Sally,

These winners are fabulous. We had a very tough time deciding! We really had a good dozen that all deserved accolades.

Sheldon's script was hilarious! It took him a great deal of time and effort, talent and script writing to pull that one together!

Laughter is a part of spring. The flowers reach to the sky and laugh and play in the wind. Joy is what it's all about! Thank you for this wonderful contest.

And, thanks to all the entrants that put such talent and thought into their writings! Loved it.

Later in the rain~Deb

Before I continue on with acknowledging everyone's comment I would like to add the edited part of this winners announcement for those that managed to miss the add in :

Your support is truly appreciated and if you would like to voice your opinions and concerns you may contact me directly. Thanks!

Count me in next time. Great idea.

Woo Hoo! It is always sad when some one focuses on the wrong details.

It does not seem to me that the complaint here is in keeping with the spirit of the group. Not a very positive attitude! :( Suddenly I am feeling weary again!

My hat's are off to all who contributed-they are all winners and thank you Sally for all your efforts. Thank you judges! I will find time to continue reading these wonderful blogs-they are all outstanding compositions.

Congratulations to all the winners and to all who participated in the contest. Thanks to the judges for reading and rereading all those wonderful entries. You did a fantastic job!

Sally I would think that it was Sheldon's content and and quality that Judges rightly concentrated on. It would be a disservice to disqualify his post because he did not add 139 of unneeded words. Yes 500 words was a requirement and if the Judges had noticed that it was not before the contest ended and notified him, he would have had the chance to correct that, but since the Judges did not, the results should stand in my opinion.

By the way in defense of the Judges, if anyone noticed that Sheldon's entry did not have the number of required words prior to the end of the contest, and did not notify them prior to the end of the contest in hopes to disqualify the entry later, then shame on them for doing that.

Hard enough to Judge that many blogs without being a word counter of top of it.

Just one reason why I stay away from contests that have what I consider "high school" requirements of 500 words. I hope all contests will do away with that requirement and let the content speak for itself. I can see the requirement for at least one graphic, or one video, but 500 words is just inviting complaints for an entry that is too short, even if by one word.

I use the same comparison for coupons. They have expiration dates. You mean you really won't honor this coupon because I'm just one day late? Oh, well. You lost a sale. Bye.

Man, It's going to take me all "Spring" to read all these!! lol~ Congrats to everyone who joined in on this. Great job Sally!! :-)

Excellent post by all. I certainly will take awhile to get through all of them. Thanks Sally for a great job putting it all together.

AloHA Sally—It was a pleasure judging the PAWS Spring Fresh contest with Kathy, Ann, and Deb. It was challenging to determine the winners with so many great entries. I would do it all over again. It's been fun and exciting to read and discover the incredible talent and creative energy that abounds here in the RAIN and the PAWS group.

Congratulations to the winners and everyone who entered the contest! Each and everyone of you are inspiring... Thank you for sharing your ideas and talents to make the POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul one of the best groups in the RAIN!

I just wanted to say thank you to you and all of the judges for giving all of AR community a chance to read some of the best writing I have read in a long time! Your efforts are exemplary! Congrats for a job well done!

Thanks for running this contest Sally, and thanks to all of the judges that took the time to go through all of our entries! Congrats Sheldon, it was a win that was well deserved!

This is a fun group, and I'm glad to be part of it!

Hi Celeste

Congratulations to the winners it was well deserved.

Good luck and success

Hi Celeste

Congratulations to the winners it was well deserved.

Good luck and success

Lou Ludwig

Wow!

That was a lot of work. Don't know if the contributors work harder, or the judges. But, either way, it looks like a job well done.

There are lots of entries to read, too.

C-Sally-C, thank you for running this contest. I know how much work each one can be. I appreciate the judges as well. Kudos and congrats to everyone who entered and thank you for your kindness in considering my wee ones worthy. The little minions are my fave subject. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the post. :-)

Sheldon's post was spanking. Loved the video. We really do have to encourage more people to do video-blogs. I've been working very hard in my group to get the crew to up the eye candy (LOL). We are about to do a two week contest. I'll be posting it in the wee hours of the morning. :-)

Thank you for the heads up about counting the words. I will be careful to check 'em. I'm sorry someone complained. I'm still reading entries and they are all fascinating so far. I'm glad that you guys stuck to your original positions. We all did our best. That's all we can do. :-)

Glad you stuck to your original picks, even though there was a sourpuss who complained about a few words short.

These were some of the best posts I have read in a while on here, so kudos to all the entries especially the top 3 which I loved all 3.

APR

Thanks for all of your work on the contest, Kathy-Ann-Linda-Deb-Sally.

I read all of the winners - all so good! Silly complaint on Sheldon's win - I am sure he spoke a couple of hundred words in the special video for the contest.

Sally~

THANKS so much for creating this contest...and then coordinating it...and then getting the judges...and then keeping in contact with all of us...and then putting this post together..

WOW!!! THAT is a lot of work...

the result?..many positive and life-affirming thoughts, inspiration and happy feelings sent into the "atmosphere"...and the promise of a bright Spring and Fresh tomorrows...

with YOU as the jewl at the center of it all...

Big HUG (((((((((( )))))))))))

KATHY, ANN, LINDA and DEB

I know the work and the DELIGHT that must have surrounded the judging of this contest...and appreciate y'all...Big Time!

Here's a Big HUG for you, too ((((((((( )))))))))))))))))

What a fantastic thing you have done. This is some great stuff!!!!!

Congratulations to all of those listed, and keep up the great work!

Have a Profitable Day Everyone!

- Harrison

I'm so so behind people! thank you all for your support of the group, the contest and each other.... this one was a wonderful theme and brought out all the best in all!

William: Thank you so much for thinking of me and a link to the song! I love when you finally get down and deep...you truly have a story book aura surrounding your words....that give a feeling of peace. Thank you William...for your participation, your friendship and your just being you :)

Russel: And to think we all were looking forward to a grand post from you! The reason for adjusting to number of words was to discourage entries that had a couple sentences and classified it an entry....with an ad paragraph for content after. Or a few pictures with the ad banner.

to each his own....content surely is the reason for any post...let alone a contest...and if it discourages people I can't help that. One thing is for certain.... I WILL account for video words to knock off some of the written words from now on...it takes dedication, time and effort...not to mention a heck of a lot of being REAL.

thank you for your concerns

Sally--What fun it was reading the entries and then finally writing my own entry. Thanks to you & others in the group who have encouraged me. A great group of friends as well as fellow AR members.

I still have quite a few to read and will do so as time allows.

APR

Sally,

Wow! You received a ton of entries. I've been out of the rain for a while, so it looks like I have alot of reading to catch up on. ;O)

Hi Sally - thank you for running such a great contest of which I was honored to be a part of and be "honorably mentioned" for my work. Truly an amazing group and wonderful entries from all. I agree with you that there needs to be requirements and I for one think Sheldon's entry was top notch and creative and as soon as I saw it, even with my own entry, I thought he should win and so happy he did. Luckily for me - I'm wordy so I will never have to worry about not meeting the 500 word requirement. Thank you for running such a great contest and spreading the positive attitude in the Rain! ~Anne Marie

Very inspiring contest...and site in ActiveRain!! Thank you.

APR

What a great contest. I finally got my entry written today...Guess I will have to wait until next time!
Looks like a bunch of wonderful entries. I am going to take my time and read them all!
Thanks to you Sally and to the judges..I appreciate the work that went into it, having been a judge for something else in the past.
