A new award for this blog., Lady Barefoot Baroness. And just as I was on my way out the proverbial door for a hiatus from all things blogging, I started to include writing in this hiatus, but I know the journal writing will be still an everyday part of processing so this would not be so.
Just briefly before I get on with the business of accepting this award I need to share that I am taking a short vacation from writing here at WordPress. In a note from an insightful friend & mentor who responded to my sharing that I was taking some time off said this;
” I am hopeful you gain the introspective your soul is seeking,” I repeat these words only because in a nutshell it says clearer than I can why I am taking this time off. This is a journey that needs my full attention for a period of time.
On to the award….
The WordPress Family Award
How cool is that?
This award is from my dear & courageous friend; Tersia whose blog ;is @ http://tersiaburger.com/
The timing of Tersia’s award is as typical of my connection I have with her, it is spot on. I have this happen with many of those who are part of my blogging family. Seems when I most need some insights they appear with alarming accuracy & timing.
As it has with Tersia’s award.
For this woman who gifts this award is a hero of mine. She is someone who epitomizes the words brave & courageous in my mind. She has more strength than she knows she has. Often when I am reading her blog I am reminded of F A.A. Milne‘s epic verse from Winnie The Pooh. { Tersia if I have sent this to you before I apologize for being repetitive. This quote is so indicative of how I see you. Thank you so much for thinking of me. }
This beautiful woman Tersia has been through more than any person should in a life time. The timing of her award arriving on my doorstep this week was just the perspective I needed to help gain balance again; for I have been falling out of my saddle of late. If I could emulate the grace of living through troubled waters like Tersia I would be ever grateful for this. I look to her and see this woman whose daughter was robbed of a long life and find a woman who finds the will to go forward. To move on is one of the most courageous commitments to living life fully I have ever been privy to.
Thank you Tersia. You touched a place in my heart long ago, now you have scribed your name their.
As for passing the award on I will again default on this: You who follow my blog and have stuck by LBB & me through some transformations recently are my WordPress Family; and you ALL deserve this award. May I ask you to do me a favor? Please grace your own blog with this award.
