A Thought Provoking Blog Award
It is with deep appreciation that I accept this award from James at www.thewayhome.me . James is a very sensitive and empathic blogger who has stirred within me many thoughts. And from these thoughts come insights. Life is a blessing, yet it is a blessing I am still learning to live to the fullest. While I have been in a transition these past few years I have found the blog world a wonderful place to reach out…to learn… and to grow. And around the world I have found many mentors and friends who accept and enjoy what each other offers. There is no judgment, or scorn for what another thinks. And from this acceptance comes great creativity from so many talented people whose voices are heard through their blogs. It is hard to pick just a few as I read over 40 blogs and they are all deserving of such an award.
Today I nominate the following deserving bloggers.
www.oursoulspurpose.com Christine – I don’t remember how I started following this blog but the name captured my attention and quickly captured my interest. Christine has a very authentic approach to her writing and life. I thank her for sharing in such an open and embracing style.
www.justspokenthoughts.wordpress.com Prashant is an awesome writer. He brings his stories to life in an effortless way. And often when I am following his story I realize I end up in a different place from where I thought he was leading me. It is his ability to lead to one place in the readers mind, and then to the awakening that it may not be that at all that captures me each time.
www.simonmarsh.org – Simon is a parish priest in NW England. When I first went to his site I thought I would find the doctrine I wanted to leave behind. Yet, I have been very impressed with his post. He is a very spiritual man and in the most positive way. He writes with acceptance, understanding, and joy. I find myself checking back on his blog to see what he has to say. I have always said “I believe in the spirituality of religion not the institution.” And unfortunately, I had placed all priests in that mold. So I thank Simon for expanding my view and helping me let go of this misbelief.

Mary! Thank you for the nomination. I am honored to have received this from you. I love your blog and have much respect for what you do! Which makes this nomination even sweeter! ~ Peace and Love,Christine
Thank you, Christine you are very deserving!
Mary Suzanne: thank you very much indeed. I’m sure I don’t merit such great kindness. I’m very delighted though that James nominated your blog which, like his, I read regularly. I love the titles of both your blogs. I want to say “Amen” whenever I’m reminded that God’s Name is the embracing “I Am”, and I believe that James’ blog “The Way Home” is, precisely, what all spiritual aspiration, endeavour and loving is really all about. So, heartfelt thanks. I accept your most kind nomination with deep appreciation and gratitude. Joy and peace for you and for all your own hopes and prayers for our common life 🙂
Thank you, Enjoy You are very worthy!
