Awards!

Recently, I was awarded with several
awesome awards from some of my
blog pals. I really appreciate each
one. But I emailed Herb and told him
that I always get anxious about this,
because I hate leaving anyone out
when passing on the awards. I
really struggle with this. But I
decided to try to get out of my
own neurotic way. So, this time
around, here are the awards and
their new recipients:

Herb Urban gave me the "I Can Go For That!"
award. I chose to pass this on to the
following people:

1. Yoga Gal, because I really like her spirit
and the spirits she often writes about.
:)

2. A. Decker, because he has a very cool
way of looking at things and his drawings
are amazing.

3. Bone, because he is an awesome writer
and inspires me so much with
Three Word Wednesday.

4. Chicklegirl, because I really enjoy her blog and
her poetry. She recently added audio recordings
of her poetry, and this is way cool.

5. Sister AE, because she has the most beautiful
voice and heart that shine through in her
incredible poetry.


Chicklegirl gave me the Excellent Blog Award.
I chose to pass this on to the following folks:

1. Jo, because she totally blows me away
with her poetry and the utterly beautiful
way she brings words and images together.

2. Self-Taught Artist, because she is one of
the most gifted artists I've ever seen, and
she expresses herself in a way that always
moves me so deeply.

artist and writes awesome poetry that always
leaves me shouting "Bravo!"

4. Herb Urban, because he makes me laugh,
and I love his wildly talented range as a writer,
poet and photographer.

5. Crafty Green Poet, because her writing
and crafts are phenomenal, and she cares
so deeply about the planet and its resources --
and she teaches us how to conserve and create,
too.

Crafty Green Poet gave me the Best Blogging
Buddies for Global Communities award,
and I chose to pass it on to the following
folks:

1. Kate, in Canada, because she is such a
sweetheart, and an incredible artist,
writer, musician, and gardener
extraordinaire. "Hi" to Lytton!

amazingly talented writer, artist and

connects me to my heart, my
soul.

I love her blog, with its wonderful

the beautiful way she shares information
about learning disabilities. Marja is
completely and delightfully awesome!

paintings always make my day with
their bright, beautiful colors, and her

"Hi" to Maisie!

is fiercely bright and writes spectacularly
well.

most wonderful visual sense, and
her writing so beautifully captures
