I am soooo humbled to receive the “A Blog With Substance” award!!! I truly feel like “Peaceful Divas” is my ministry. I am so thankful to God for the opportunity to write about my life, journey through life’s struggles with other women, and learn from so many wise Divas.
When this award is given to you, there are a couple of things you are supposed to do:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award: (a little linky love never killed anybody!)
It is with much gratitude that I thank Mary Yenta who writes a wonderful blog, Food Floozie, for graciously bestowing upon me an award for writing “A Blog With Substance”. Oh to be a cook like her! I just love her posts which are always full of make-your-mouth-water pictures of treats and food she has made. Her Peanut Butter Pie looks sooo scrumptious! (Maybe she can come to NC and fix it for me?) Mary Yenta really enjoys food and great parties…a girl after my own heart!
2. Sum up my blogging philosophy, motivation and experience in 5 words:
Ok that is really hard to do but I chose: discipleship, empowerment, joy, sistahood, and moxie.
(I just love Everyday Bliss’ definition of moxie: the ability to face difficulty with spirit and courage; vigor, verve, pep).
3. The final step is for me to choose 10 other blogs whom I think are”Blogs With Substance”.
WOW! This is very hard to do because I have met so many wonderful women in the blogosphere. Here is my list in no particular order:
5. Zen Mama
6. Mama Jen
8. Gerber Days
Thank you lovely ladies for the inspiration, laughs, tears and joy that you all bring to the blogging world! Thank you also to the many fabulous blogs that I was limited from mentioning for your awesome contribution to my life!
Love,
Katina
