   I vote for #5. A seed would be glowing as it is growing.
   Peace would be glowing.

   Hi Ronda,

   I vote for #5, the image that has the “atomic glow” in the hands. The other images say “I/you’ve got the world in my/your hands,” but they don’t say “Peace Seed,” IMHO.

   I think the glow is a more appropriate image for something that is growing, like a seed.

   Thanks for inviting me to vote!

   Hi Ronda,

   On a gut level I liked the two pix with globe in 2 hands as that seemed more caring. I get that the globe represents global transformation, but don’t see anything in any of the covers that connotes story telling to me. I’m working on cover design for my first book right now so I can relate that it’s challenging to find an image that conveys the message you have in mind!

   P.S. The web site I listed is being redone and not available right now, but will be soon.

   Wishing you all the best with your new books!

   Ronda,

   I vote for number 4. The presence of two hand seems like a peace connection to me.

   Warm gratitude to those who have responded so far and to those who will respond after.

   Here are a couple of the comments emailed to me about the cover:

   Dear Ronda Del Boccio:
   I thannk you for asking or having me join for a piece of counselling: Here is my point and i wish you good receipt of it.
   Picture n°4 because it takes at least two to start up building something that is for the benifit of many other humans as well. It is a combination; it requires contribution of many it is a process; it links many around a purpose..
   Clean hands carefully holding globe in spotlight. Conseptual image: Peace, Protection, Savety, Religion..

   Have a nice day and week.
   Regards,
   ngo njock

   Got it this time. Choice 6 seems to me the better of the group. I think it would show up better on a book cover and it is a striking image. It, to me, coveys the title better.

   Here’s another reply I recieved via email:

   Hi Ronda,

   #5 is the only one without a globe and says powerful seed to me.

   #3 has a glow deep inside the globe and could say glowing seed throughout the world.

   #6 is an attractive globe within a palm that could signify seed or egg.

   Each of these appeal to me, but the others don’t strike me.

   I hope this helps.

    “The Peace Seed”. – The Global Planting and Sharing of many of the World’s Personal’ Stories, – helps us all to transform Our Living Thought Lives, thru StoryTelling, into an actual Harvest of Global Understanding & Peace. – We are All so much more alike than different. And nothing delivers this transformational ‘Peace’ message more than through the planting of this book called the “Peace Seed”, by the StoryLady,- Ronda Del Baccio. Mutual Personal Development thru Shared Individual Story Telling. Just the idea, and philosophy behind the concept, is $worth Ten Million Clicks, and will undoubtedly deliver an earthly green-with-envy harvest of Love. Thank You Ronda, – Joe Ward (ReFidolize)
