I have been given what some might consider the dubious honor of being dubbed an Award Winning Schmoozer. I choose to see this as a high honor indeed.
“The Power of Schmooze” award was created by Mike at Ordinary Folk and Danielle at Pink Reviews to help “recognize those people that were [are] exceptionally adept at creating relationships with other bloggers by making an effort to be part of a conversation, as opposed to monologue.”
The rules:
If, and only if, you get The Power of Schmooze Award, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think, or have schmoozed you into submission.
Link to this post and Mike so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme
Optional: Proudly display the ‘The Power of Schmooze Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote.
This award was passed to me by Beverly of Perpetual Expressions. I am honored and humbled that she thinks me such a great schmoozer. :) I do think of this as an honor. My husband and everyone I know personally, know that I have the "gift of gab" but it's nice to know my virtual friends think so too.
Without further ado, I'd like to announce the blogs and bloggers that I would like to pass this honor on to. (Although, I have to say right here that Beverly stole two of the blogs I would have mentioned, and I'm assuming we can't give to blogs that have already received this distinction...) :)
1. The What If... Women is actually a group of 5 women- Lori Arriaga, Randee, Lynn, Norka, and Anne Goodrich- that take a day to say What If.... Sometimes they're funny, sometimes enlightening, but always inspiring in the way that they encourage and uplift one another in their messages. And they always manage to glorify the Lord. They were the inspiration that got me really blogging for the Lord. For this reason, I nominate them. Congrats and hugs, ladies.
2. Management by God is written by Dan, and is a great resource for anyone that has ever wondered how to handle workplace issues with a Christian attitude and mindset. Especially when it comes to management and supervisory issues. He's an up and coming blogger, who is always willing to lend a hand or word of advice whenever I've asked. So for these reasons, I nominate him.
3. Christian Personal Finance is written by a great guy who just wants to share biblical financial advice, so that we all in the end can be told "Well done my good and faithful servant." His applications are both well founded, and sometimes off the wall, but after you read a few of his posts, you realize, this guy really knows what he's talking about. For this reason I nominate him.
4. At the Study is blog written by a young college student named Harmony. She gives reviews and such for movies, books, and she has a nice collection of photos on another blog as well. She visits my blog often and is always willing to interact. For this reason she gets my nomination. My only regret is that she no longer posts to her blog Harmonious Glow Writings. :( Congrats Harmony.
5. And last, but certainly not least, I nominate and pass the schmoozer award to Shirley of Unmasking blog. She is a wonderful lady that has an infectious love of God and the world around her. She visits my blog often, and I have to say right here, that I have to admit that I don't visit her blog often enough. I plan to remedy that right now! Congrats Shirley! Hugs from your sister in Christ.
