With Gratitude! :)

I’ve been extremely busy at my office recently with year-end and new-year tasks.  Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to visit many of my favorite blogs to let you know how much I love your creations!  

I realize there are sooo many awards given to various blogs and I wanted to create my own ~ personal ~  from the heart award.

My sister, Valerie, has spearheaded an amazing project called the Winter Feast for the Soul  http://www.winterfeastforthesoul.com/ which now has thousands of participants throughout the world.  Please take a peek at her site for all the details.   

One of the sponsors of the Winter Feast is http://www.gratefulness.org/, a very cool site encouraging gratitude.  I wrote to them asking if I could use one of their cards to give to my wonderfully talented blogging friends.  They said YES!     I fell in love with one particular picture, it’s purple of course, but sooooo amazingly beautiful …  It was exactly what I had in mind!    And so, this is for you:

Lotus inspiration

No special rules for this one, feel free to pass it along to as many blogs as you wish!  I would love it if you would post the picture and link to Gratefulness.org.  

Just know that this comes from my heart to you ~ my inspriation!   🙂
