Bloggy Love ~ Second Blog Award (& Some Truths About Me)

 

Award_from_Molly[1]

I am honored.  A sincere note of appreciation to Kim @ A Spicy Boy, A Cat and My Fat Ass.  Yes, she is funny ~ check her out.

Here are the rules for receiving this award.

1) Thank the person who gave you the award
2) Share 7 things about yourself
3) Pass the award along to at least 10 bloggers you think are fantastic
4) Contact the bloggers you picked and let them know about the award

I didn’t make the rules up, don’t know who did & am ok if you choose not to follow them ~ hope I’m not breaking a blogging rule by saying that:)

You all know how little I really talk about myself so here goes…(breathe in…)

1 ~ I write a lot about capturing the moment, writing your way through pain and embracing the inner journey to authenticity; but sometimes a White Russian works as well.

2 ~ I just recently found out that wearing glasses on top of my head is apparently one of my trademarks (see profile pic)

3 ~ I think I went five years once without crying.  Now I tear up even at commercials (the allergy excuse doesn’t work anymore!).

4 ~ After ten years my husband still gives me chills.

5 ~ My girls rock!

6 ~ I love naps.

7 ~ I’ve lost count @ how many times I’ve seen Dave Matthews Band.

Bonus ~ Mid-40’s isn’t so bad:)

Even harder, I have to choose ten blogs out of so many fantastic voices….this is in no way an exhaustive list of the blogs I follow nor in any particular order.  (As previously alluded to in an earlier post, I will be giving out my own “Life Lines” award from time to time.  Mainly because I think we should all receive some validation for speaking our truth and hoping that truth throws out a needed lifeline to others.)

 

All Things Wonderful ~ peaceful blog with interesting info

Paisley Passions ~ wonderful projects

Arsty Canvas Girl ~ living her authentic life

Diamond Potential ~ a blog with heart

live artfully ~ beautiful

Pacifiers Pumps The World ~ love her willingness to try new things on her blog

W.I.P. It  A Writer's Journey ~ Excellent writers’ blog (& aren’t we all writers?!)

Society of Socialpreneurs ~ love this site for networking and support

Wagging Tales ~ another great writers’ blog

I Made It Through The Rain ~ Awesome approach

    Thanks DAWN!! WOW!!
    I think I'm with you with the glasses on top of the head!! Last week we were leaving for the movies and I was frantically running around looking for my sunglasses (I have MANY). I found a pair and put them on. When we went in to pay, I move them to the top of my head... where there was already another pair!! LOL!! Unfortunately, that a common thing... *sigh*

    I do have to say that when I drank, White Russian was one of my FAVORITES!!! Baileys on the rocks ROCKED... LOL!! *sigh* OK! I'll be GOOD!! ;p (((HUGS)))

    Hi Dawn! I am so honored! Thank you -- my first award for blogging! Like you, I tear up during commercials. My kids laugh and it can be quite embarrassing. Like you, I adore my children, a good nap and, yes! White Russians...
    Love and blessings!

    I haven't had a white russian in years! So yummy! And, the late 40's aren't so bad, either!
