I am honored to receive my first blog award from Terri Sonoda, with whom I share a happy virtual connection. Terri is an awesome lady I had the privilege of connecting with recently (seems like I’ve known her much longer, though) Besides her fantastic blog, she writes a column at the Examiner.com and is working on an awesome novel that is not only a #NaNoWriMo winner, but looks like it is going to be a bestseller.
Now, drumroll, please!
Here is my award:
“Liebster” = “beloved” or “favorite” in German. Gives me a very warm, fuzzy feeling.
And now, I get to nominate five bloggers I consider “ Liebster” to me. This is almost impossible because it is virtually impossible for me to choose just five. So I chose six.
Unknown Mami writes at well, Unknown Mami
One of my favorite blogs. I love her brown paper bag and I get worried when she doesn’t post. She’s the lovely hostess of the Sunday In My City linky, which I very much look forward to, besides her funkily written posts.
Rachel writes at Totally Ovar It
We met, we clicked and I love it. Lovely blog that speaks to my heart.
Farida writes Chapters From My Life
She’s my friend and a big inspiration and I admire her because she is strong, in spite of all the s**t life throws at her.
Kim writes My Inner Chick
A fantastic blog that makes me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time.
Betsy writes at The Zen Mama’s Blog
Highly motivating, Betsy has a warm style of writing that makes me feel better instantly. Check out her books. “How To Be A Zen-Mama” is a wonderful book for parents and Betsy’s Book of Quotes is something you will love to keep handy as well.
Sheila writes at the Zen-Sational Living Blog
A lovely person, and a terrific writer. I enjoy her blog. You can get her new book “Booyah! Spirit: 52 Ingredients For A Healthy Soul. Suffering is Optional” and “Zensational Living” here.
Dear Nominees,
I would be honored if you accept this award. And to keep the happiness flowing, you might like to do the following; Not that I’ll haunt you if you don’t – but still. I think you’ll enjoy doing it. Just sayin’
