I have always thought of writing as something that I do because I can't imagine not doing it. Of course, I also want to be read, to be understood, to have someone say, "I know what you mean." That is why it was such a delightful gift to find that Indigo, Scream Quietly, listed my blog among her seven picks for the Marie Antoinette, A Real Person, A Real Award. I don't know the origins of the award, but I accept it with humility.I am delighted because Indigo is herself a writer that makes me nod my head in understanding on a regular basis. I am also thrilled to be in the company of Indigo's other award recipients, all of whom write with clarity, depth, and a good dose of well placed humor.
In addition to saying thank you for the award, I must also make my own nominations. Not an easy task to choose seven out of the many fine bloggers out there.
Here are the Rules for the Award:
1. Please put the logo on your blog
2. Place a link to the person from whom you received the award
3. Nominate at least 7 or more blogs
4. Put the links of those blogs on your blog
5. Leave a message on their blogs to tell them.
I nominate the following blogs for this award:
Diary of a Podgy Poof
Latent Thoughts
The Self-Sufficient Steward
Kickin Tina
Prison's A Bitch
Isn't She Great
Random Threads

Congratulations! I've found some new journals to follow as a result of this. :)
Hugs, Leigh
Congrats, Sheria! Very much deserved. You became one of my faves the first time I found your journal at AOL. I love Indigo, too! I'm a new reader of her blog but also catch myself nodding while reading her blog.
I will click on the links you provided and check out your seven picks.
If I don't get a chance to swing back by here, I hope you have a very blessed Thanksgiving. I know it'll be difficult for you, being the first without your mom. Please know you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
Many Hugs -
Congratulations, Sheria! It meant a lot to me, too, coming from Indigo. To have someone whose writing leaves you in awe turn around and say, "I like your writing" is a shock to the system!
I'll be sure to check out the links of those I don't read already. Have a lovely week!
Love, Beth
See, and you chose the blogs I would have chosen if I wasn't such a contrarian curmudgeon.
Sheria,
Thank you for including me in your list and award! I'm glad I am out doing a weeks worth of catch up this morning, I might have missed my surprise~~~
There are some new journals for me to go take a peek at as well and with your endorsement I'm sure I'll like them.
I'm back to that blushing thing again, thanks to you and a few comments. (Wipes brow) whew...Rebecca took it with a smile. The last time I tagged her, I was called the Indigo Virus *winks*...(Hugs)Indigo
you are a good writer and the recognition is deserved. congrats! :)
I am so honored, and will have to do something about this! BTW, love your latest lady fanning herself under the palm tree. Then again, I loved your Obama dancing lady, also.
Thanks, dearie (a word saved for, yanno, only special ones).
You are such a doll! Love ya...... I am away in some ghastly hotel tomorrow night and will do my nominations then.
