Thank you so much ,dearest Tammy ❤️ Now, I regret not having participated in the previous NaPo challenges. I guess, i would have become better at writing if I had participated earlier .
And Thanks a bunch for organizing this challenge . You invested your precious time and effort all over the years in organizing NaPO.
And thanks to the NaPo Team members too.
Well, dear Tammy , I'll be ever grateful to you for helping me further my writing skills by providing honest critique . It means a lot to me. You have been so helpful and supportive ,even when I was facing
some problem over here ,you reached out to me ; were here to listen to me and believe me . You are a very beautiful soul .

CONGRATULATIONS, NAPOETS! YOU DID IT!
Please check your email and if you didn't receive one, please let me know asap! In regard to participation years, these certificates will carry over if NaPo navigates to a different site!
Stay tuned for a very important transmission from the antennae gallery! xo
It's an exhilarating yet very sad day for all NaPoets. As you know, after a decade of development, dedication, commitment, hard work, thinning hair, losing patience, almost giving up, crying, and laughing, DUP's NaPo will be no more.
But what will be the most disheartening is that many of our members who have crossed over, and their poetry, will not be visible for us to visit any longer. One such team member is Elisha, known to us all as Eerie. And after a deep meditation and focus on what Eerie would want us all to know, I shuffled the deck until a card jumped out.
This could not have been a more perfect message from beyond the veil.
Soul Message
⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆ :*:･ﾟ★
Just as I surrendered to change, give yourself permission to make this change. Embrace this fresh chapter because it contains vibrant opportunities for you. Your future will shine brighter and become better as you hold onto this truth and feel energized by its certainty. You possess this ability since it is all of you who designed your visions and understand their deep connection to your soul journey. And so do I. Never stop creating because a part of me is a part of that process.
🔥🧡Meet Card 7 - Sacral Energy
Your Sacral Chakra holds infinite power and rich fertile energy to awaken your desires. Passion and pleasure are unraveled and explored and give form to creative visions. Your emotions are being stirred, ready to be unleashed and invite deeper intimacy to the moment. The mood is rousing with urgency and intention.
You are driven to birth new experiences. A long journey or challenging period is now behind you. New adventures await and the thrill of all that has been is waiting to erupt from the vessel of this sacred space within you and can no longer be tamed.
Vitality and renewal promises a new chapter. A blaze of focus is entering your life.
🔥🧡Affirm
I am creating space for passion in my life.

Transmission received, Elisha. And thank you for choosing to be a part of each of our physical lives throughout these years, and now a part of our spiritual.
Congratulations, Gahddess, on completing your 7th NaPo! Seven years is a long time, but you stuck with it, proving it could be accomplished! Despite struggles, slips, and falls, you got right back up and carried on. As a veteran of DU, you always had such interesting offerings, and I never quite knew what to expect from you. That's always a good thing!
Wherever words lead you, may they be few in cliches and redundancies, and much in love and caring!
Namaste, my Friend.

Wally, Wally, Wally! Congratulations on completing your 6th NaPo! What an accomplishment! Your dedication and commitment to the Team NaPo has been monumental, and I am forever grateful that someone of your caliber always had my back. You were someone I could depend on, lean on, and rely on. Your offerings, as evidenced by your trophy room, were always enlightening, inspiring, and original.
Wherever Poetry leads you, may the Muse continue to be the fuel that propels you forward.
Until we meet again, my Friend. . .

Cipher_O, Congratulations on completing your 4th NaPo! While we bumped heads over a few technicalities, that stopped neither one of us from braving the challenge year after year. That is because of our dedication and commitment to Poetry. We knew what was important, and over the years our respect for one another has held up the test of time.
Your offerings were always of a metaphysical nature that exceeded literary boundaries, and I truly enjoyed reading them, though I've barely had time to breathe this year, much less comment.
Wherever the wonderful world of writers leads you, from what I see to developing a new poetry site, I wish you much success and many years of creation ahead!

Ljdynamic, congratulations on completing your 4th NaPo! I greatly admire your tenacity to not allow personal feelings, or petty squabbles prevent you from honoring National Poetry Writing Month. I honestly feel that you are a beautiful woman with much more untapped potential than you yourself realize. Your poetry has always been genuine and written from a place of deep understanding.
Wherever this life leads you, never change and you will do great things, particularly with the written word.

Cabcool, congratulations on completing your 6th NaPo! You have a wonderful and very spiritual way of writing and your sense of visual design is unique. I particularly enjoyed your religious offerings and admire how you always kept love in the forefront. I know you have had a lot on your place the last few years and greatly admire your dedication and commitment to TeamNaPo regardless of circumstance.
You are a true poet, and wherever this world leads you, may it be filled with poetry, music, and love.

SatinUGal, congratulations on completing your 7th NaPo! The years you spent on the team were some of the best we ever had! Despite life calling you from that area, you remained steadfast and loyal to NaPo regardless of your heavy schedule. The spirituality expressed in your poetry contained a underbelly of mysticism and insight that I always enjoyed, and I will miss reading it.
Wherever life takes you, my Westcoast ally, may it be filled with magic, wonder, and creation!

Dear TeamNaPo 2017 -25:
The pleasure of working with each of you honoring poetry has been one of the greatest joys in my life. To see each of you dedicate your time and love to the cause of NaPo has been inspiring and admirable. I have learned so much from each of you and have grown so much because of you. You will never truly know because there are no adequate words to describe it properly.
Thank you for believing in and supporting me. Thank you for believing in and leading this challenge year after successful year. Thank you for believing in poetry. Thank you for being.
I have been and always will be your Friend.
Love Tammy

Ahavati said:Congratulations on completing your 6th NaPo, BrokenTitanium, or K, as you're lovingly known. I have always loved the connection to nature within your poems, which added an underlying element of spirituality ( for me, at least ). Wherever time leads you, may it be littered with poetry, music, and plenty of gigs!
Namaste, my friend.

YAY, we did it!!!
Tammy, thank you so very much for spearheading this incredible challenge again, even in the face of DUP's shutdown! In addition to deep spirituality and love of poetry, you bring an incredible gift of organization to what must be a monumental task. Those of us who just drop in and write a poem each day have no idea how much work is going on in the background to keep all the shit together!! It looks effortless from here, but I'm sure it's not. I know you'll say it was a team effort, and of course that's true (much appreciation to the whole NaPo Team, bravo!!), but as someone who has organized teams for events before, I know there's always someone who has to steer the ship, or be the quarterback, or [insert metaphor here]...
You do an amazing job of it.
Anyway, I wish there was an adequate way to show my appreciation, but my creativity seems to be tapped dry at the moment for some odd reason!
Please stay in touch - I'm interested in finding a way for our DUP style of NaPo to continue in the future.
Wishing you beautiful sunsets and birdsong,
❤Karla

I don’t know what I would’ve done without DUP. It’s shaped me as an individual, and you all mean more to me than you’ll ever know. A massive thank you to the NaPo team for your hard work and dedication year after year. Fellow poets. My friends. What an honor to write alongside you. I’m getting emotional at this moment knowing it’s the end of an era. But let us raise our pens to the beginning of something new! I hope to cross paths with everyone again, wherever it be.
