I received this award from Sarah. It does not come with strings nor do I have to share with you 7 things. This award was created out of friendship, inspiration, joy and sorrow. It is Sarah's to share and hers alone.There is a beautiful story that comes along with it. I hope that you will take the time to read about her journey. You can find it on her blog >>>HERE
I often think of myself as a/an:
Momma Duck
Odd Duck
Odd Duck
Sitting Duck
Lame Duck
and as of late a.....
Sneezing, wheezing, sniffling, coughing, "can't sleep at night" Duck
(sounds like a commercial, I could be on to something)
but, NEVER or rarely EVER a SWAN
Thanks Sarah for seeing something in me that I refuse to see in myself. I don't like looking in the mirror. Or even inside my head. Therefore, I always have Vaseline or Zinc-Oxide on hand
to keep everything hidden and distorted.
to keep everything hidden and distorted.
Just because my chances of attending the Oscars, Golden Globe or Grammy Awards are not in the cards for 2010/2011, let alone squeezing into a skintight dress and strapping on a pair of stilettos, doesn't mean I can't give an acceptance speech. Right?
Sarah,
Thank you so much for this award.
It is a privilege. An honor. A blessing.
I dedicate this award in memory of 2 people
that encouraged me
and believed in me
even when I had no faith in myself.
Not a day goes by that I do not think of them.
To my beloved sister & daddy
I hope that I've made you proud.
Namaste

Over the last few days I have been taking care of my mom as she recovers from minor surgery. (it's always minor these days-stitch you up-shove you out the door!) This has actually been a great time for me. I actually get to spend some one on one time with my mom and some quality time with myself. Also I have access to her computer. It is fairly new. ( are you missing me T-Rexi?)This has given me a chance to read and get to know more about the women participating in 12 Secrets of Creative Women (for more info click on the button in my sidebar)
Yesterday, curiousgirl
blogged about being nice and speaking the truth. Her post spoke to me in more ways than one. I commented on my original thoughts. Then I got to thinking and thinking.

Am I just being nice? Here I am determined to meet and greet everyone in our group. I read what they have to say. I post. Hmmmmmmm. Then I thought some more and I realized something. Jamie has an encouragement-box and I have one as well. It is reading and being inspired by creative women and their art. So whenever possible I am going to visit them and tell them how they have inspired me. For I believe that Strong, Vibrant, Creative, Beautiful Women should Encourage and Support each other. I learned this from one of the greatest women I know, my MOM. It is so missing in society and it is a sad, sad thing. Of course that doesn't mean that I won't speak the truth. However I won't blow smoke up your arse either. I can't promise you that I will be perfect. In fact I got a little PO'D last night. I felt someone wasn't being very nice. So I got a little snarky on Twitter, in a Saturday Night Live way. So I hope you will give me a pass. Next time I will just speak the truth, wherever it takes me.
