Versatile Blogger Award

I have not been a blogger for long and really had no idea on where to start. The initial motivation came from my future daughter in law who enjoyed my stories and suggested I write down my thoughts. Not sure where the value was in blogging I started, timidly. Then I found treasures more than I could ever imagine. They are the stories, poems and meanderings of a remarkable group of people. Stories that have made me cry, made me laugh and helped me in my journey of self realization.

When Colleen Brown, The Chatter Master received this award she was charged with sending it on to others. By some miracle I was one of those people. And in so receiving I pass it on to others, all Masters in their own right. People who when I wake each day I rush to see what new things they have posted. People who make my day. There cannot be any priority in listing these folk. It would be impossible but with this recognition goes my every lasting thanks for letting me in any way be part of your fabulous lives.
