Sunshine Award

Okay… I have to confess and apologize. I never acknowledged the importance of these awards. Others have nominated me and I turned them down. I was an award snob. And I was lazy. I’ve learned so much about this blogging thing, and it is all about community. So when I was nominated by Jamie at happy little wallflower I knew I had to accept. Jamie is one of the most loyal and supportive bloggers I know. Right off the bat she made me feel as if we were friends.

Another reason I avoided these awards it that I know praise is dangerous… at least for me. It feeds my pride and that is a beast better left unfed.

So again, if I offended anyone by not accepting past nominations, I’m sorry. I’ll do better from now on. So here goes:

Those receiving the Sunshine award should:

• Include the award’s logo in a post or on your blog
• Answer some questions about yourself
• Nominate some other fabulous bloggers
• Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blogs, letting them know they have been nominated
• Share the love and link the person who nominated you!

And the nominees are… (drumroll)…

Tammy at Wing and a Prayer Farm. Tammy’s blog is unique. She shares her insights about life, love and faith through her experiences as a mom, wife and farm keeper. The pictures are stunning and the blog is just all goodness. It makes you dearly want to visit their farm in Southern Vermont. It’s a great escape for me from the city life.

And..

Cristal at Refusing to Tiptoe. Cristal is a woman of faith, and it shines brilliantly in her blog posts. She is creative and gifted in her writing. I have been inspired many times by her reflections. I’ll never forget reading her post, Cowgirl up {when life knocks you off your horse}. From there on I was hooked.

Okay, now the questions…

Cinderalla Man.
