Spreading the Love in 2008

Wayne Hicks , the Villager over at Electronic Village honored me with a 'Spread the Love' Award. I've seen these awards on several blogs and I think some folks may take them lightly. Let the record show that I don't. Each and every award I've received has humbled me and served as motivation to keep doing what I do.

As one who started blogging without a plan or a niche or following any of the recommended steps and practices in the blogging process, I am honored when another blogger takes the time to recognize and appreciate what I post here and on my other blogs.

Villager is one of the folks I consider a master blogger. He's always on his game, posts regularly and his blog's flavor is definitely Obama-esque. The Electronic Village is transformative in the knowledge shared and the overarching ambience of unity of all Villagers. He is also one of the bloggers I've featured through my '20 Questions' interviews on my blog 'on the black hand side'.

I probably shouldn't be so honest as to share the fact that much of what my regular readers have enjoyed the most on my blogs were frequently those features and posts that I really hadn't planned. I could pretend it was all planned and I had it going on but that would be a lie. The truth is I listen to my inner voice and allow myself to be led. It's karma, the ancestors and the angels guiding me. For all of the nudges in the right direction I say thank you. For all of you who are subscribers and commenters, I thank you also.

With all that being said, I am spreading the love to Shelia, Invisible Woman, MarvalusOne, Karoli, Paula Neal Mooney and Linda. All of these ladies are shining examples of bloggers who uplift and inform. I am pleased to have them as blogging sisters and wish them many more blog posts to come.

Again, thanks for the love, Villager. Let's keep this train going.

You are very kind. You may not have started out with a plan ... but, you definitely have one now and it's working like a charm. Well done...

Thank you, Vanessa.

I'm pleased to have you as a blogging sister, too.

And it's so cool to see other sisters and brothers like Wayne of The Villager continuing to blog day in and day out about issues that we care about.

Or ones we feel led to post, as you wrote were some of your most popular.

Let's both keep listening to that inner voice and obeying it.

Much love and peace,
Paula

Thank you soooo much Vanessa. I had no idea! I was just taking the time this afternoon to visit all the blogs in my favs, what a nice surprise, you've made my Sunday thank you very much.

Your posts that have been inspired by the direction in which your spirit was being guided, are the reason that I actually sit and take the time to read each and every word. You are palpable in each and every post. It's a wonderful way.
