The Mariuca Super Star Award!
My very best buddy Christy from Christy's Coffee Break nominated me for the
Mariuca's Superstar award! I love it, love it, love it
Christy!
When I read the award title I thought of a Saturday Night Live character who says I love it, love it, love it, as she kicks her legs in the air! She's kidding, well actually overacting to be funny, but I wasn't when I danced around my living room with my groovy new award, reciting I love it, love it, love it!
Evidently, Mariuca's readers missed her enough to leave comments when she was away, so she created this award to thank them. As I read Mariuca post, I realized how considerate and kind bloggers can be, or I should say friends can be. Good bloggers use the opportunity to write in a positive way, a way that makes a real difference in the lives of others every day.
I think those are the bloggers Mariuca is referring to as Superstars! Thank you Christy for thinking of me as one of those bloggers, and thank you Mariuca for creating this award. Mariuca seems like a special person, and I know Christy's friendship is a virtue. I'm happy to be on the planet with these two woman.
I think the following blogs have the characteristics so often associated with what Mariuca, Christy and I think of as a Super Star.

Angels On Earth
Lost inside a state of mental and physical exhaustion, I prayed to meet an angel on earth, then, I felt the pillow of a horses mouth gently sweep grass from the palm of my hand.

Motherhood- Courage
Motherhood is an art impossible to explain, one which requires a vast sea of love, devotion, compassion, and understanding, unmatched by any affection we will ever know again.- Ann Clemmons

Words-
Words are the core of our souls, without written, vocal or lyrical expression we lose sight of one another or worse, ourselves. Words bring forth the essence of the human spirit; so express yourself without abandon.

Favorite Phrase
I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense...

The Storyteller, by Dawn Drover
Alone in her world
of make believe
weaving her stories
of magic and light
She brings joy
to the eyes
of innocent minds
less jaded and free
For only they know
what's in her heart
holding the secrets
she guards so well
Life's hidden mysteries
belong to those
whose wisdom and truth
shine on in imaginationWritten for Ann

Thank you, Ann..
I am sorry it took so long before I showed up to pick up the award -- but you confused me a bit (you left a comment mentioning that you nominated for the other award, and there I didn't find my name - so I went back and forth a few times. But hey, I found it , lol!
Thanks ;)
Jos, I'm glad you found it. I just wanted to say you do a super job of blogging. :)
Ann
Thanks a lot. See my name on the list again. It's like christmas.
Congratiolations with all your well deserved awards. I put this one in my christmas goody bag if that is allright with you. Lots of hugs
Holy Toledo that's a lot of award giving, thanks for giving one to Totally Fabulous, I appreciate it:)
Hope you're having a good day Ann!
Christy, I know Batman, I got a little carried away. I just keep adding people I think a lot of, and by the time I realized it was so many, I felt guilty about removing anyone. And you're most welcome for Totally Fabulous. It's special to me. It reminds me of the award. I hope you're having a good day too!
Ann
Yahooo!!
You know, every now and again, I run across a new blogging friend that "stands out" with there fun and open personality. You sure fit this catagory. I can't tell you how impressed that I am with your site. The "Read More" add is cool... was it hard to install?
Anyway, I wanted to stop by, as the last 4 days have been really busy. Thanks for this award, and thanks for just being you.
Happy Weekend, and we'll see you soon. Your friend in Minnesota, Eric "Speedcat Hollydale"
Eric, Ditto! Is everyone in Minnesota as nice as you? I really enjoy reading your blog too! Oh, I already said "ditto", didn't I? Smile.
Have a nice weekend. And congrats!
Ann
Eric, I forgot to tell you that my friend Sandee installed the peek-a-boo hack for me. Isn't it neat? Let me know if you want the link on how to do it. I thought it seemed extremely difficult, but then, I'm a techno dumb, dumb. Do you know Sandee? I have her link on my page. Great site, great blogger. Anyway, I realized I didn't answer that part of your question. Let me know if you would like the link to the hack, o.k.?
Bye again,
Ann
