Oh My Goodness!

I am honored (and stunned, quite frankly) to accept my first blogging award! Since the site is only 14 posts old, I’m particularly pleased.

A hearty “Thank You!” to Gaia’s Daughter who finds my musings praiseworthy. I urge you all to click through to her site and also to her poetry blog, Don’t Take My Wings. This young woman has escaped the passivity that hampers so many of her peers.  At fifteen, she is a strong and talented voice. The more support we give such voices, whether we agree with them or not, the more certain we can be that our nation and our world will thrive.

Why? Because they THINK.

A nation of followers is not what we need. It is not what our country was envisioned to be.

And now, back to me.

Here’s my prize:

These awards, apparently, come with rules:

1. The winner can put the logo on his or her blog.
2. Link to the person from whom you received the award.
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4. Put links to those blogs on yours.
5. Leave a message on the blogs you nominate.

Of course, as you’ve no doubt noticed, I’m kind of a rule breaker. And I’m anonymous. And my blogfriends may not groove on a public association with my, ummmm, explicit self. And what was that I just threw out the window? Rules 3-5. Hope you ducked.

I will notify the winners privately. Sorry. After all, it’s not if you win or lose; it’s how you write your blog.
