In 2011 I am fearless. That has been my motto since New Year’s eve when I declared it to the world (or at least to those who care to read my tweets now and again).
At the root of this declaration was my determination to write more often and to do so more publicly. I’m still working on both of those things, so it was a sweet affirmation of progress to receive the Liebster Award. Thank you Kizzy.
As a recipient of this award, there are a few things I must do:
- Link back to the original blogger who gave me the award. Check.
- Share my five picks for the Liebster and let them know via a comment in their blog. Check.
- Post the award on my blog. Check.
- Enjoy the love of some of the most supportive people on the Internet. Yay!
Liebster, a German term, seems to mean beloved, friend, dearest, favorite, and other words that relate to something treasured. What a beautiful sentiment. It’s encouragement to bloggers who have fewer than 200 readers. I’m honored to pay it forward!
Here are some of my favorite blogs. I don’t know how many people subscribe, but I think many more should. These women push and clarify my thinking, inspire me, or just happily share in this journey called life. Please visit them and enjoy!
