Today, I want to thank my good friends for sending me awards. \u00a0They increase our sense of community with each other and they are just plain fun!<\/p>\n

The Sugar Doll Blogger Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am honored that Deanna Schrayer at Deanna’s Blog, The Life of a Working Writer Mommy<\/a>, awarded me with the Sugar Doll Blogger Award<\/strong>. She is a wonderful friend and a great writer. I am very grateful for her support and encouragement. As acceptance for this award I must reveal ten things about myself. See below.<\/p>\n

I wish to pass on this lovely Sugar Doll award<\/strong> to these writer friends:<\/p>\n

Karen Schindler<\/a> (karenfrommentor)<\/p>\n

Mari Blaser<\/a><\/p>\n

Laura Eno<\/a><\/p>\n

Donna Carrick<\/a><\/p>\n

PJ Kaiser <\/a>(doublelattemama)<\/p>\n

I am also honored to receive not just one, but two awards from Tony Noland at Landless<\/a>. Thank you, Tony, for these awards. I am glad to be your friend and supporter of your writing, which is always interesting and thought-provoking. And, you are a fun guy to hang out with each day on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The Silver Lining Award – Gratitude<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Silver Lining<\/strong> award is given to blogs that help others or focus on the good things in life to uplift others.” This award comes with a condition. I must now pass it on to five other blogs that I feel have accomplished the same thing.

Honest Scrap Award – Can You Handle the Truth?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Honest Scrap Award<\/strong> means that I am supposed to share ten things about myself that you may not know.<\/p>\n

So, since I have two awards that require me to tell ten things about myself that are true, I thought I would do it all in one shot. I don’t think I could come up with twenty things. I’m having a really hard time with ten.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I have five siblings, but grew up an only child because they were so much older. (I have a nephew who is one year older than me)<\/li>\n
  2. I worked in corn and bean fields during the summers as a teen. (hated it, but got a good suntan, now called sun damage)<\/li>\n
  3. I met my husband in a bible study group my first year in college that I joined after they scared me with a movie about the rapture. (Oh, the stupid days of our youth.)<\/li>\n
  4. I spent the next few years trying to deprogram, usually in bars.<\/li>\n
  5. We still got married and managed to escape the grips of fundamentalist Christianity, becoming Buddhist, the wild and crazy variety.<\/li>\n
  6. Despite a lifelong hormone condition, I had my twins unassisted by fertility drugs, it just took about a decade.<\/li>\n
  7. I predicted the birth of my twins in my journal exactly one year before they were born, and that they would be a boy and a girl. (on the exact date – but didn’t really believe myself at the time or remember until I reviewed my journals several months after they were born.)<\/li>\n
  8. I have never written a fictional short story before I started FridayFlash in December, and never more than a few pages of fiction before NaNoWriMo last November. (now you cut me some slack)<\/li>\n
  9. I gave up seven state and national conference speaking engagements this year to be with you all on Twitter (actually for health reasons, but I’m here with you, aren’t I?)<\/li>\n
  10. I’m actually a bot on Twitter. (Oh wait, the lies went in the last award, oh well, this one is more fun than the truth.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I now send the Silver Lining Award<\/strong> and the Honest Scrap Award<\/strong> to these folks!<\/p>\n

    Marisa Birns<\/a><\/p>\n

    Maria P<\/a> (Mazzz_in_Leeds)<\/p>\n

    Sam <\/a> (FutureNostalgic)<\/p>\n
