  2. Oh my goodness! Thank you so much, everyone, for your votes! This is quite unexpected as I'd never done a kukai before nor have really participated much in contests (only very, very few). I am humbled and sincerely appreciate your comments and am glad to have participated in this contest! There were so many lovely 'ku that I thought would have won first place. I just never dreamed that this honor would be bestowed on me. I am deeply touched.

    Namaste and blessings,

    Kathy U. Nguyen
