Carol, over at Northwest Ladybug, was nice enough to bestow this lovely badge on me yesterday. It really made my day, especially as I was worrying that I was managing to offend all my regular readers with my schooling views! She'd had it bestowed on her, and she certainly deserves it, so I was glad she'd gotten some cheer, as well.
There are so many, many lovely people in this blogosphere, that it's hard for me to tag them all, but here are a very few that I would love to pass this on to:
First off, my dear friend from "real" life: Anno. Anno sees me through thick and thin, happy and sad and all of my writing and teaching and parenting issues. She has cheerfully allowed me to pull her into new adventures and she has shown me some wonderful paths in life. I get energized every time we can sneak coffee together and every time I read her blog. So, Anno, this one's for you!
To Fourier Analyst for her comforting words and loving demeanor and her use of "Darling" in her comments! And also for her courage in sharing difficult times with us through her blog and showing us that there are many routes in live and we can overcome adversity.
To Goofball for her ever-present cheer and warmth and genuine interest in cross-cultural issues and facts. I can't visit Goofball's blog without smiling, as well as learning something new.
To Jenn in Holland for her warm vision of life and for answering every. single. comment on her blog! I bow down to you, Jenn!
To Michelle from Bleeding Espresso for her recipes, her tours of Calabria, her reflections - I truly believe she is a national treasure for both Italy and the U.S.
You know, I really could pass this on to pretty much every one of my readers, but this is what I come up with on half a cup of coffee, so just consider yourself tagged! I can't tell you how grateful I am for the new perspectives and worlds I enter through my blog reading, and for the friendships I've developed over time!
Happy Saturday!
