Passing Them Forward

Once again I find myself bestowed with more lovely awards, thanks to Sorrow.

There are times I’m not sure what I am doing to deserve these accolades from friends as I seem to have been milling around in a state of confusion for the past couple of months, not knowing where I was going or grumbling about where I find myself. As I said in my previous post I’m trying to learn to express myself in a true light without returning to the post to soften the edges or delete it entirely. I opened another blog in a move I thought would “set me free.” It has not and though it is lovely looking, I find myself writing in pretty much the same way.

Perhaps this is what I’m supposed to do for now and perhaps those things that sit deep inside me are best left to the pages of a private journal. Still while I grumble and mumble and sort myself out, it’s good to know I have a community of like minded souls who hear me. I also have an array of beautiful, artistic, funny and spiritual blogs to get me through the day and inspire me to become better at this whole writing thing.

Now to pass these along, something I’m terribly remiss at doing. There are so many to choose from.

Mermaid whose blogs are beautiful and soulful and a friend who listens to my insane babblings.

Danielle whose Modern Musings keep us informed and thinking about what needs to be done in this world.

Grace whose blog keeps me inspired.

Missharleyquinn a visitor from the early times going forward, one who understand the ramblings of my heart.

These are just a few of the deserving candidates I can name tonight. Take a look at some of those on my blogroll. It’s a great way to discover some wonderful sites.

Honoring Those Most Worthy

During the night I opened my blog and found myself the recipient of  this honor.

As I read the words on Sorrow’s page it was  as if I was looking behind me wondering “who is she talking about?” I am always surprised when I find out my blogging has had an impact on someone.   Her words were  beautiful and I found myself in tears as I read them.  Now I’m on my first cuppa for the day and trying to wake from more strange dreams so I can adequately thank her.  Also, I’ve been remiss in passing forward these wonderful awards  and I’m thinking of all the wonderful blogs I’ve discovered out there.

One of the things I do periodically is browse blogrolls of those on my blogroll, and so on. You can find some real treasures this way and so I have. There are blogs that are home to incredible writers,  and some that are home to those who can lead you on a visual journey of art and beauty. There are those who are courageous, speaking out against the injustices of the world or perhaps writing of their past and how they have moved beyond.  There are those who inspire me and those whose talent make me wrestle with my own doubts.   Then there are those blogs that make you laugh out loud, a breath of air needed in this serious life. 

I’ve pondered my blog these past few days, knowing I need to expand my writing into something, but what I’m not sure.  One can only write about the moon in so many ways. I’m on my second cuppa now and when I join the conscious world I will pick some blogs for this honor.  Until then, thank you so much.

A Badge Of Courage

Today I found myself the recipient of the Courageous Bloggers Award. Thanks Danielle.

I have to admit, I don’t really think of myself as courageous. There are bloggers out there who write about the world, politics and topics that at times bring their blogs under scrutiny. I write about my journey and my experiences as I think it’s important to share this part of myself. In doing so I’ve found those who would fill that path with doubt but also those who have given me strength and encouragement to carry with me along the way.

Also, I enjoy sharing the unusual experiences that I have, not only because I just need to share them with someone, but also because this is not something I alone experience. Perhaps in sharing these things, someone else can realize they too are not alone.

At any rate, I just wanted to post a big thank you for this and for all those who come here and read my musings of the night.
