Timing is Everything....And the Sunshine Award Goes to...

This has been a hard week for me, and the intrusion of something nice could not have been better timed.   It's just when I think I am at my lowest, when I get a gentle nudge of positive reinforcement, and I start to think that what matters to me might actually matter to someone else too.  I want to thank Sandie, at http://bumplesfamilyfirst.blogspot.com/
for giving me this Sunshine Award for both this blog and my Choosing to Grow-Through Marriage blog.  I think in my heart of hearts that writing, and moving others through writing, is what I want to do with my life.  I don't know how that is all going to come together, but I trust that it will, and when I am recognized by another gifted and talented woman, it inspires me to keep working.

It takes time and energy to build positive connections, and I am thankful for the many amazing contacts I have made along this journey so far.   In recognition of how sunshine has been shared with me, I would like to recognize, and similarly award the following blogs:

There is something amazingly powerful about the internet, and the beauty that women spread because of it is truly awe-inspiring.  It is only right to continue moving forward with a heart full of gratitude.
