A Long Overdue Thank You!



Rather belatedly, I'd like to thank Andy at The Spiritual Journey of a Somerset Pagan, and Livia Indica at Magic in These Hills for nominating me for the 'I love your blog' award.


Many, many thanks to both of you for the honour! I love your blogs too, so it means a lot that you would pick me.

The Rules for those receiving an award are:

  1. The winner can put the logo on their blog
  2. Link the person you received the award from
  3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs
  4. Put links of those blogs on yours
  5. Leave a message on the blogs nominated


My nominations include some lovely blogs I've discovered in recent months. I send awards showering down on:

  1. Mitchell Mutt at The Book Rant, whose posts are unfailingly short, to the point and hilarious;
  2. Mimi at Little Sips of Tea, a delicious comfort-blanket of a blog;
  3. Rima at The Hermitage, a magical wonderland of quirky creativity;
  4. Mike at Team Spirit because I am so enjoying Drood's adventures and can't wait for Chapter 8;
  5. The Awakened Heart, down to earth, spiritual and often downright funny - lovely!;
  6. Aims at Big Blue Barn West - Aims' moving story is so beautifully and honestly told I am quite addicted;
  7. Paul at Moon and Raven, because it's always well-written, thought-provoking and he covers such a diverse range of subjects.
I'm really surprised how easy it was to pick seven - how hard to stop at seven, in fact. It goes to prove that there really are a lot of wonderful blogs out there to enjoy. I recommend all of the above for your viewing/reading pleasure.

  1. Oh Sweetie! Thank you! What an incredible honour it is to be given this award. I'm really humbled to be included in your 7!

    Thank you - thank you - thank you!

    And thanks for your lovely words. I had no idea you were 'addicted'! :0)

  2. Wow, thank you. What a lovely surprise that was - I'm very touched that you like my blog and that it was in your top 7. That's awesome. Your blog is beautiful and I hope that you continue to write and hope, explore and heal. Pema Chodron 'When things fall apart' would be a good place to start right now, I think. That or The Places That Scare You. Warm hugs.

  7. Oh bless you! Thank you so much. I am honestly very deeply touched that you like the story so much. Makes me feel guilty that I haven't added to it for such a long time. Something I must put more effort into.

  8. Great to see Hermitage on the list and the book-rant made me laugh so many times it's on my list of favourates!
    I worked in the Nat Gallery Bookshop for 10 years brings back memories!
    I am an inverted snob...so when I was asked by one rather posh loud speaking/demanding customer which poster would go with their sitting room. I was perplexed why they wanted my view? And what exactly could I say given that I hadn't seen their sitting room or their furniture...I remember being lost for words... I once made the mistake of asking what mood they wanted to bring into the room and had they a current favourate...no they didn't have a favourate and their room was the colour blue...the result was that both of us thought the other very strange...anyway...he is much more witty than me. I will enjoy reading. Thanks
    :o)

    I shall put a flower on my altar in the bookshop in your honour, and promise never to send any of my customers in your directions.
