Winner
Congratulations to LA Musing, winner of a copy of Why I Left the Amish. Thanks to all who participated!
Award
I think a few awards that I received in 2010 fell by the wayside, and for that I apologize to the dear blogging friends who sent them my way. I appreciate your kindness, so very much. With that said, and before I forget yet another, I wanted to thank Rachna Chhabria of Rachna's Scriptorium for the Magical Blog Award.
Thank you for thinking of me, Rachna! Rachna's blog is full of great writing food for thought. I'm sure she'd love it if you stopped by to say hello.

Hi Karen -
ReplyDeleteCongrats to LA Musings!
I don't think I'll be entering any contests this year. It's a time of re-evaluation, new projects, building.
Blessings,
Susan :)
You're always up to something, which is why it tickles me to drop by.
ReplyDeleteI don't dare start passing out blog awards or I'd be at it all day. There are different people deserving of different types of awards, be they for humor, wisdom, resources (YOU), or ????
Anyway, have great Monday (and beyond)!
Kathleen

ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, I can honestly recommend Lynn Moshers blog... and Life Lessons by maria Morgan... oh my... I read so many and they're all uplifting!!!
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to stop by! Thanks for the heads up about the many contests out there. Sometimes I get so caught up in my usual writing routine, I forget about the other possibilities out there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Life Lessons! I appreciate the prayers! After a visit to the chiropractor, I'm feeling much better! I think we figured out it's from lifting the garage door - definitely motivation for getting the silly garage door opener fixed...Have a wonderful week! God bless!:)
Thanks for the great listings! Your blog is fantastic as I'm sure you are!
ReplyDeleteRobyn,
ReplyDeleteWell since I can't really serve chocolate here, I try and make things interesting! :D
Marja,
Thanks. :) I've been to Lynn's but not lately. And Maria's is a good one too. As is yours.
Maria,
Glad you feel better! Maybe you should park in the driveway? :P
Wendy,

ReplyDeleteWell, yours of course! And I need to rework my blogroll. Add a few, lose a few. Its important to keep this current. Hey, I see the Meat and Potatoes award to the right. Now I'm hungry for steak and eggs.
