A Special Award

Today, I received two very special awards. I will pass one of them on today and the other tomorrow (simply do to time constraints).

Ces honored me and several other very talented women with the Bella Sinclair Award, which she created in honor of her dear friend Bella to celebrate art, inspiration, friendship, sisterhood, sharing and caring. Please visit Ces' blog and read more about the award and click on the many wonderful links to other great blogs! I was truly touched to be among that group and am so happy to pass it along to other wonderful women who touch my life on a daily basis. I could have made the list much, much longer - I've come to think of so many of you as my friends - but for today I'll keep the list to thirteen (my lucky number), no fourteen (this is hard - good thing I have another award to pass along tomorrow!). Please visit their blogs - you'll be inspired as well!

    Congratulations Silke! You are very deserving of this very special award, as you are an amazing artist, and a beautiful person. You are my inspiration, and I'm so happy to call you "friend"! I'm honored and surprised to be among those you have chosen to share this award. Thank you. I'm so touched by Bella and Ces' friendship and I'm happy to partake in sharing this award with others.

    And...It's okay that you are "chipper and happy" in the mornings, I would still like you...I still like my husband, and we've been married for 23 years!

    Smiles! :)
