Words Well-used

Terri at Barriers, Bridges and Books gave me the gift of kind words and this sweet and thoughtful award.

In her post in which she gave the award, she says: “Now comes the hard part. I have to pass it on to 7 other blogs... this is tough because I follow way more than that and I am very loyal to all of them. The people I read are all Believers and I like their writing--they provide blogfood for me.” Terri and I are alike in that we follow many more than 7 bloggers regularly.

For this award, I tell you all how much I enjoy reading the following blogs:
Maddy at Sandwiched Genes
Matt and Aline at The Playpen
Fawn at Fawnahareo
mommy~dearest at The Quirk Factor
Shawna at Crazy for Cody
Barbara at One Day at A Time
Billie and John at Micro Preemie Twins: The Story of Holland & Eden

A couple of others I would’ve mentioned were also awarded with me by Terri – go over to Terri’s to meet them.

Just as an aside, I sent an award to 5 people a while back, and only two came by to pick them up….That was then, this is now. It’s easier to select people today because in the past 2 months I have formed several off-blog relationships with people [that is, by email].  Still, I expect each and everyone linked here has the wherewithall to use these bits of blog culture to the benefit of themselves and their children.  As I would expect.

AND I received another award from one of the people to whom I gave one previously. So I get to give MORE awards today!

More kind words from Princess Abigail (who lives in France) and this beautiful award. [Here’s asking both Terri and Her Royal Highness to give me a little more time before I get the awards posted in the sidebars.]

This award comes with rules to be posted and they are thus: 1. Guardar el premio y citar el enlace de quien te lo dio: 2. Publicar las reglas: 3.- Compartir 6 valores importantes y 6 que no lo son: Lo que yo valoro: Positivismo - Carino - Amistad - Sinceridad - Empatia - Lealtad Lo que no soporto: Mentira - Segregacion - maldad - violencia - envidia - y otra vez mentira 4.-Otorgar el premio a 6 personas:

Oh, here they are in English:
1. To keep the prize and to mention the blog that gave it to you. 
2. To publish the rules.
3. To share 6 important values and 6 that they are not it [sic for translation] via What I value and What I do not support.
4. To grant the prize to 6 people.

What I value: movement [as in body, not the other b-word], personal responsibility, politeness, acceptance, words used well, and love.

I don’t usually use the cliché glass half full in reference to myself, but I could have gone-on for the values list above. Please forgive me if I don’t list 6 behaviors I don’t support.

What I do not support [reinforce, enable, promote]: intentional harm, being judgmental, atheism and waste.

For excellence in the expression of values in a blog, I award:
Melody at Slurping Life
Julie at Shanan Trail
Nancy at Olive Leaf Ministries
JoyMama at Elvis Sightings
Sharon at The Voyage
Heike at Rollercoaster Parenting

Tomorrow I reveal the winner of my giveaway!

Congratulations on your well-deserved awards. Thank you for awarding me, and another thank you for the translation. :)

I tend to be slow, but eventually I post awards. Truly, it is an honor to receive this, as I honestly do live and write as I believe.

Gosh that's the first award for me! Thank you so much for including me.

Congratulations to you on receiving it in the first place.

And yes you're right, I often forget to go and tell people about their award but that's quite a step up the old blogging learning curve.

very best wishes

Took me a couple of days, but I've now officially accepted the award over at Elvis Sightings! Congratulations on receiving the award, and thanks for including me as an awardee.

Thank you! I promise I will post it as soon as my heathens, I mean children, allow me a spare moment! :)

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for the links to explore. You and I often share blogs-to-visit, but the links make it even easier. I'll add to my Sage reader here shortly.

BTW we received the CD yesterday. Thank you very much. I'll be popping it on to my mp3 player and listening to it here shortly.

Barbara, Thank you for bringing attention to my blog!
