Awhile ago I received an award for being a courageous blogger and I never passed on the honors. Please check out the Writer’s Review where you will find the rules, see how to on this gift and also pick up a banner to display on your site. These last few months I have had reason to know people’s character on a deeper level and thus would like to bestow these awards.
First, The Thoughtful Blogger Award is bestowed upon “those who answer blog comments, emails, and make their visitors feel at home on their blogs. For the people who take others feelings into consideration before speaking out and who are kind and courteous. Also for all of those bloggers who spend so much of their time helping others bloggers design, improve, and fix their sites. This award is for those generous bloggers who think of others.†This award goes to Neda Doany‘s thoughtfulness to me in this time that has been so difficult.
The Creative Blogger Award is bestowed upon “those who bring unique and creative elements to their blogs. For those who incorporate art, music, creative writing, photo’s, and other beautiful visual effects into their website. For those who put a unique spin on things and come up with new ideas. This award is for the artsy, the funky, the inventor, and even the rebel. This award is for those creative individuals who stand out from the crowd.†This award goes to Diane Clancy at her blog for being creative and having fantastic artwork and to Sue O’Kieffe for her creativity in tutorials and mandalas.
The Inspirational Blogger Award is bestowed upon “those bloggers who inspire others through their words and actions. With a positive attitude, and an uplifting spirit these bloggers make the blogosphere a better place, and encourage others to do the same. This award is for bloggers who rise up to set an example but continue to reach out and support others.†This award goes to Diane and Neda for their art and words that lift others’ spirits. This award also goes to Rima Koleilat for her work on Blog Action Day.
Finally, The Courageous Blogger Award is bestowed upon “those bloggers who are battling or have battled with physical and mental illness, those who are survivors of abuse, poverty, or who have overcome other challenges in life. Those who serve in the military or work/volunteer in dangerous situations in order to provide a service or to help others. This award is for the strong, the brave, and the courageous.†This award goes to Diane, Neda, Rima and Sue for the struggles they deal with as they walk through life and the blogosphere.
Thank you for helping me award these women awards and hopefully I will write more soon!!
