The Sunshine Award

Many thanks go to Becoming Madame for nominating me for the Sunshine Award.  I am humbled and greatly appreciate the recognition.  Like many bloggers, I often wonder if anyone reads what I write.

As part of the rules for this award, I am to answer the following 10 questions and nominate 10 bloggers who inspire me.  Here it goes.

The Ten Questions:

1. Favorite Color – Red, of course
2. Favorite Animal – Cats and dogs, who can chose?
3. Favorite Number – 9
4. Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drink – Diet Coke
5. Prefer Facebook or Twitter – Facebook, just getting started on Twitter
6. My Passion – Reading, Writing, History, Travel (no way I could choose)
7. Prefer Getting or Giving Presents – Giving, I love choosing presents for people
8. Favorite Pattern – Stripes
9. Favorite Day of the Week – Fridays and Saturdays
10. Favorite Flower – Rose

 

Following are Ten Bloggers I nominate in no particular order:

• The Collaborative Writer | Demythologizing cultural beliefs about writing, one post at a time – An insightful writing blog that also offers a forum, online classes, and plenty of wonderful writing advice.
• Childhood Relived – Angie Z.’s funny take on pop culture – 80s pop culture in particular – never fails to amuse me.  It must be hard to be that funny consistently.  Her blog has a lot of heart and a lot of obscure 80s references.
• The Middlest Sister | There are 5 sisters. She’s the middlest. – A unique weekly blog comic, I cannot get enough.  There is nothing like it out there.  Check it out for yourself.  A unique blend of funny and sweet.
• Little Cheesehead on the Prairie – I love the fact that Kathy of Little Cheesehead on the Prairie wasn’t afraid to follow her dreams, even in middle age.  An inspiring blog with a lot of great regular features.
• Leeleegirl’s Life – Where do I even begin?  LeeLee blogs all about her faith – and what that means for her social life.  I greatly admire her faith.  She’s making decisions I could never make.
• Ziiplight – I am in love with Ziiplight’s photography.  She has graciously allowed me to use a few pics here @ Ramblings of a Misguided Blonde.  I’m looking forward to following her for many years to come.
• Red Lips and Academics | The (bumpy) transition from student to teacher – I came across this gem thanks to Freshly Pressed.  Think of it as a guide to love for the Sheldon Coopers of the world.
• free penny press | my words, your words, their words – A thoughtful look at everyday art.  Always something new to explore.
• Once A Little Girl – A wonderful collection of childhood anecdotes.  Adela also includes a couple of great regular features.  You can find my guest post @ Once A Little Girl here.
• Tidbits, Kidbits & Kibble by Michelle Devon – Michelle Devon, better known as Michy, is one of the most inspiring writers I know.  She’s also one of my oldest online writing friends.  She also happens to be the creator of the Accentuate Writers’ Forum.  There is tons of great stuff on her blog.
