Whereas I Was Given An Award

Linda has been so kind to honor me with the "Blog of Substance" award. Lately, that might not be true as I've been MIA due to the heat, but I appreciate the fact that she feels I deserve to be named along with some other fine and fun writers.

So, to play along I must:

1. Thank the one who sent it your way.

2. Sum up your blogging motivation, philosophy, and experience using 5 words.
3. Pass it on to 5 others who blog who you feel have real substance.


1. Thanking Linda of Olde Baggs and also Ye Old Crone's Gazette of course.

2. I write for my mother. Still.

3. Simply Coll. Colleen makes me smile, she makes me cry.

A Mark on My Wall. Vicki is not only an artist in felting and wools, she crafts with words and pictures and emotions.

Living in My Car. Jennifer is honest about her history, her emotional distance from people and her journey to find herself.

From The Front Porch. Ann tells stories with her pictures and lives in God's country.

Living in Muddy Waters. Muddy shares (anonymously) her life as a pastor's wife, her struggles with her personal demons and her very astute observations on life.

I don't expect these ladies to take part in passing along this award, but I thought you might enjoy their "journeys" too. There are many blogs of substance out there, but these are writers worth following. Enjoy.
