Because I Can (Awards Galore)

So I got me another sweet surprise from my friend Kimberly Marie.  You will find her here, and if you haven't followed her, that's such a damn shame.

It is another award which I have diligently included in my Awards Gallery that you can find here:

And for my "What's With?" Blog, you can find my Badges on the Sidebar that I also diligently update.

I reckon I would love to give a couple of my own, dovetailing from Kim's lead albeit I thought of giving some other type of awards to my own list of Blogs of Note.  There are no obligations to this, I just want to, so I will.

First off, the Blogs I read that provide a consummate source of insight and encouragement, I am honoured to give the INSPIRATIONAL BLOGGER AWARD to:

• MARIE, The Colour of our Skin at http://thecolorofourskin-ourjourney.blogspot.com/
• KIM, MY INNER CHICK at http://myinnerchick.com/
• NADYA, The Journey Keeper at http://www.journey-keeper.com/

Marie, Kim and Nadya:  you should keep writing.  Your Blogs illuminate and elevates people souls.

Secondly, for people whose Poetry touches even the most cynical and jaded of hearts, I am honoured to give the PROUDLY POETIC AWARD to:

• RIVERCAT, Crying With A Sense of Human at http://fellowshipofbirds.blogspot.com/
• DIABLESSE, Hi How Can I help Me? at http://letmehelpme.blogspot.com/

They have the gift of weaving words that touches your core.

• KRISTEN, Confessions of a Graphic Design Student at http://graphicdesignconfessions.blogspot.com/

Fourth, for the Blog fearless writers who don't give a rodent's ass what anybody thinks of what they want to write about and they will, and are very good at it, I am honoured to give the BRAVE BLOGGER AWARD to:

Fifth, for writing a merry mix of survival stories for women, generously sharing their wit, insights and experiences to fit all sizes and needs. I am honoured to give the LADY'S CHOICE BLOG AWARD to:

• AMBER, Chronicles of Amber at http://scrappinamber.blogspot.com/
• KIMBERLY MARIE, This Is Me or something Like That, plus at http://timoslt.blogspot.com/

And just because they are totally awesome women I met in this Blog-land, I am honoured to give the GIRLFRIEND BLOGGER AWARD to:

• Just Me, because I truly believe our spirits have met in previous lifetimes. @http://justmylittlestory.blogspot.com/
• Dirty Cow Girl, because she is the evil twin sister I wished for and never got; http://dirtycowgirl.blogspot.com/

I want to dedicate this Post to all these wonderful people whose talents and personal life stories they chose to generously share in the Internet universe; and for the lives they have touched, albeit unknowingly.  Cheers!  

I will consider your acceptance of these awards as a lovely birthday treat to myself.
