I received a blogger award today from my friend Tonya. The category was for Social Conscience. Thank you Tonya for thinking of me and honoring me in this way. Now I’m supposed to pass it on…
This award focuses on the following:
-Creativity
-Spirit of Giving
-For Keeping It Real
-For Social Conscience
-For Staying True to Their Beliefs
Since Tonya already awarded some of my closest friends in Denver, I’ve decided to look outside my local circle and award some of my far-away (only in miles) friends.
For Creativity I choose Tawnya Marie, my closest friend and the most creative and artistic person I know. Everything she touches glows with life and promise. She makes the world a brighter and more colorful place to live. She calls forth the creator within me and I love her for it.
For The Spirit of Giving, I choose Jetty Betty. She’s been giving me encouragement and love almost since Day 1 of my blogging life. She is genuine, loving, and such a great example to me and many others. I don’t get over to her blog nearly enough, and I can’t wait to see her again.
For Keeping it Real, I choose Claudia Mair Burney. The woman has an amazing way with words and she isn’t all rosy and fru-fru when there are tears in her eyes and heart. She’s funny and honest and lays it all out there for the world to see – not just the good, but the bad and the ugly as well. She’s the only sassy lady on this list that I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet.
For Social Conscience, I choose Heather Meyer, my red-headed step-child friend. We’ve discussed the possibilities of our being separated at birth and despite the fact that we are both red-headed and step-children, it’s truly impossible seeing that I’m older by years and not minutes. But our lives have run very similar courses including what we do for a living and how we choose to focus on the marginalized in society. She is way more official than I am, and she’s got a lot more knowledge as well. Kudos to you girl! You Rock!
For Staying True to Their Beliefs, I choose Jennifer King, my enemy turned soul mate/heart friend. She loves the Lord unapologetically and stands firm even when facing much opposition from the enemy. She also responds in love (but with conviction) to believers who take a different view on issues (they are not the enemy). She knows what she believes and why – How can I not respect and applaud that?
Thanks Ladies for being such an inspiration to me! There you go, a Kansan, a Texan, a Michiganian, a Coloradan, and a Canadian. I think I may have made one of those words up. Anywhooo…I’m spreading the bloggin’ love around! lol 🙂
Niki:

Thanks, Niki, you are too sweet 🙂
Now, what’s this about more “official?” LOL – that’s like a man saying his wife who is a SAHM doesn’t “work.” You have an “official” ministry, whereas I am constrained by civil service – all in the eye of the beholder, eh? Both of us are authorized by the One who made all authority, so it’s all the same to me 🙂
(hugs) keep on keepin’ on!
