WOW…ANOTHER AWARD…I FEEL LIKE A ROCK STAR!
Seriously, I never anticipated getting the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people through my little ole’ blog…its been fabulous and an unexpected treat. I so enjoy meeting fellow bloggers, artists and all around great folks sharing their experiences to better the world we live in. What a blast!
A wonderful woman and new friend, Sheila Hurst, nominated me for a HUG award which was awesome in itself….and then I read the description and got really humbled. Simply put, I want my writing to change something. While it has changed me dramatically, giving me purpose to an otherwise unexplainable and tragic view of my young life and physical health, I wanted it to go further. These friends-with-blog-efits have been my saving grace and I do believe that by connecting and supporting each other, we will HUG the world.

Congratulations! The HUG award is a truly life-altering responsibility and honor, and having followed your blog for some time, I believe that you truly deserve this. I know that when I received it, I cried – it’s very humbling when you read what it’s all about. Sending you a huge HUG! ~ Julie 🙂
Thanks Julie…So moved to have gotten to know you through blogging…I kind of just sat in shock when I first read about it and it took me weeks to digest that I’m loved and HUGGED…this is great! Also, sending you prayers for all you are going through now…been “gone” for a while but have been following your posts…
I’m happy to say that Selena is home from the hospital and recovering well; we are still waiting for results for my brother to see if he needs more surgery – and I’m starting to feel a little better, too. 🙂
Glad there is a small respite in there for you…so difficult with many challenges coming at you at once…sending love and light 🙂
congrats on the HUG Award … sounds like it made your day!
Thanks Nancy for stopping by…it did make my day….and now I want to HUG everyone….
