A huge thank you to everyone for their amazing contributions to this particular contest. I realise that for a lot of you this really was a “challenge” in the true sense of the word.
For each and every one of you, it involved facing something you would rather not have to deal with, think about or face. So thank you, thank you once again for making this week’s contest special.
The theme was “My Biggest Fear ” and I feel because it was a huge challenge for most on some emotional level, yet everyone was brave enough to make a post about it, it would be unjust to pick only one winner in this case. So this time around the prize money will be distributed evenly amongst the winners.
I will attach the links to the actual posts so everyone can read the original post I received along with the photos. There are some very touching stories, so please show your support by reading and commenting.

Excellent and challenging idea for a contest! I have to be honest - I tried to check out each picture, but there were a number that featured something (rhymes with, "lights") that I scrolled past wicked fast! However, even after only seeing those for a split second, I can say that all of these entries are spectacular and brave! Well done, everyone!

thanks for the comment @traciyork, I did what you did many years ago with a spider movie. I swore I would watch it as many times as it took for me to actually "see" the entire movie, hehe. It took 4 attempts but today I am less paranoid about them.

Wow, only 4 attempts? That's pretty impressive. While I'm not a fan of spiders, it's the height thing that I haven't been able to shake. For example, many years ago BC (before children) hubby and I rented, "Cliffhanger" (not sure why I agreed to it - LOL) - let's just say that after the tense opening scene, Jim turned to me laughing at how melodramatic the whole thing was. It took him a moment to realize I was seriously shaking & crying (he thought, not without cause, that I might have been joking). Twenty-some odd years later, and I still yell at him about it! 😆
Oh, and you're very welcome, @claudiaz!

That's a lot of fear all in one place. or should I correctly say - a lot of courage. Good to see people facing their fears. Not an easy thing to do. Some great examples and posts.
