5 chances to give

The Fearless Blog, one of my favorite online stops, recently presented me with a Brillante Weblog Premio 2008. As much as I am honored by the award (it's an honor just to be nominated!*) it is really the sentiment that I cherish! (You like me! You really like me!*) More importantly, now I have the chance to share my abundance with the opportunity to give!

According to the custom, the award may be passed on to up to seven blogs. The rules for the Brillante Weblog Award are as follows:

l. The award may be displayed on a winner’s blog.
2. Add a link to the person who you received the award from.
3. Nominate up to seven other blogs.
4. Then add their links to your blog.
5. Add a message to each person that you have passed the award on to in the comments section of their blog.

I have chosen five recipients ... five bloggers that I am thankful for on this particular day. These are writers who I may not have featured recently, but whose messages are truly brilliant!

My 5 Brillante Weblog Premio 2008 recipients:  

• St. Vincent's Hospital Darlinghurst -- Male Nurses
• Oh, Fer Cryin' Out Loud (Monica Ford's Thoughts & Such Journal)   
• First Life 360
• Finding Life's Enchantments
• Evenstar Art (the art of the positive, loving and spiritual life)    

Thanks to you for your positive messages, your thought-provoking comments and your candor!

Peter, Girish, Monica and Titania -- As some of my favorite bloggers, you are soooo welcome!

Rebecca -- I had not heard about the 29-day giving challenge until you mentioned it. I was hoping I might find a link on your blog, but I googled it and it looks like something I am interested in. For others of you who might be interested, the address is: http://givingchallenge.ning.com/

Congrats! On a related note, I love the idea of giving back. Have you ever heard about the 29-day giving challenge? Pretty nifty.

It's easy to become swallowed up by current events and be hardened by it. I'm happy to see it's causing a different reaction in you. Awesome.

Low and behold you won a wonderful award which you definitely earned! I love reading what you have here in your blog corner of the universe! You always make me smile and ponder - which as T said isn't always on other blogs.

Thank you so much for passing it on to me! It's my first ever award and I'm all giggles! Thank you thank you thank you - like you said it's the "you really like me?" :)

Hello Brenda,
Congratulations on your award and thank you so much for passing it on to me. A very kind gesture. I find that your blog as a lot of substance. Something that you rarely see on many blogs. I do enjoy stopping in. I do get a lot from your posts. They really make me think.

I do apologize for not stopping by regularly but life has been so hectic lately and there seems to be so little time at the end of day except to collapse in a chair and just gather my thoughts. :O)

Thank you again. :o)
