THE PARLIAMENT AWARD

 This new and beautiful set of awards (which you need to post both badges on your post) was created by Bishop Eddie Tatro and was given to me by Jenn at http://myfibrotasticlife.wordpress.com

Now onto the rules…

1. Firstly, display the Award on your site (see Award page or sidebar!) You earned it and you deserve it!
2. List a few things that make you a loyal member.
3. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.
4. Nominate at least five (5) well deserving bloggers whose loyalty and love you value and consider part of your Parliament and Pack; for the Award and let them know the wonderful news by sending them a message on their site.

Firstly I’d like to thank Jenn for nominating me for this award… it was a complete surprise – you have NO idea.  She can be found jumping around at http://myfibrotasticlife.wordpress.com

Why do I deserve to be here, getting this award?

1. I blog almost every day – having just finished the NaBloPoMo, I might keep up the 7days a week although I need a days off every so often.
2. I am moved by the people I have come to know and care about through my journey here one WordPress. If I know they are having a hard time I try to be there, supporting with encouragement or a shoulder (virtual) for the to vent or cry on.
3. I try to comment /reply if someone does say hi or anything on my posts. Sometimes it’s difficult if I just get a smiley… it feels like Cheshire cat time if we keep swapping cheesy grins. 🙂
4. I might seem a trifle ‘distant’ but I care very deeply for others, it’s a hangover of the protective shell days.
5. 5. I try to comment of people’s posts, or if I can find no word to add I let them know I visited and liked it by hitting that…”LIKE”  button.

My nominees are

1. Tammy at http://tlohuis.wordpress.com

2. Dawn at http://dawnyhoskin.wordpress.com

3. Trisha at http://trishapearson.wordpress.com

4. Laurie at http://laurie27wsmith.wordpress.com

5 Nina at http://thepollyannaplan.wordpress.com

Many thanks everyone.

As I promised here is my  final message regarding  these beautiful awards. I will miss them.

DECISION

The time has come to be upfront and share my honest thoughts to people who I respect and admire. I understand the purpose and honour of many blogger awards; I feel blessed and humbled to have been nominated a few and really I do feel honoured, however, 

I do not wish to receive any further awards…

My most grand and heart-warming awards are your Likes and Comments. Any feedback or disagreements only help me learn and grow.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
