ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

I am so honored to receive this beautiful award!  I want to thank Tazein Mirza Saad from the blog, Transcendingbordersblog!  She inspires me with her courage and willingness to share her story and promote the betterment of the human race!  It is so encouraging to receive this and the other awards from my fellow bloggers, and that they read what I write!!  What is funny is how hard it is to write this Acceptance Speech (something I have never done before) but yet is seems easy to write on my blogs, where the worlds seem to come out all on their own! 

 If there was one thing I could tell a new blogger (or any blogger), it is to realize the power of words.  We can change the world, here on these blogs.  We can help those with words of encouragement and support, we can make the planet a village or better yet a home.  We can make the earth a planet populated by a large, loving family, working together not strangers striving to bring others down.  We have the power to spread the news of the injustices done to our fellow humans, animals and the earth.  

Talk from the heart!  The truth and feelings will come through in your words or even pictures. Say what you feel not what you think others want to hear.  Honesty and passion can work wonders.  Talk as if you are talking to your best friend, reach for the individual, make your readers think you are talking to them personally!  I know sometimes it is not easy, and you can not do it all the time, but I truly believe we can change the world, one person at a time.  Than they change another until everyone is striving for the same goal, a better world for tomorrow!  

Okay sorry started preaching again!  I hope I can live up to this award and live in the moment, strive to make each moment the best! 

So for my closing words (but you were glad to read that!)  Live for now and tomorrow, don't dwell in the past, only learn from it!

I am so happy today!  As most of you know have not been feeling well, but I got this today from a fellow blogger.  My very first nomination!!!

The Versatile Blogger Award

I received it from a blog that is truly inspiring called  TRANSCENDINGBORDERSBLOG written by Tazein Mirza Saad (really love her blog and posts, she has made me smile and has been following my posts on Google + almost from the beginning and giving me encouraging words; Thank you again!)

Rules of The Versatile Blogger Award are:

3-State 7 things about yourself.

4-Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award.

5-Notify these bloggers of the nomination by linking to one of their specific posts so that they get notified by ping back.

7 things about me!

1- I am stubborn, I want people to realize what the world would be like if we all got along and stop causing each other pain.

2- I love animals, and believe they can bring happiness, love and laughter (everyone needs to laugh) to those who care for them, and in the wild should be left untouched by our ever changing world.

3- I feel bad when I realize that after all this time that there are people who go out of their way to cause harm to others, and sad when children do it, realizing that one day they will grow up to believe it is okay.

4- It brings tears to my eyes when I hear, see or read of a persons death, the direct result of abuse, bullying or hate.

5-  I believe everyone everywhere has a purpose, they just need to find it to have a full life.

6- I with all my heart I believe we are all responsible for the future, and the future is all the children of the world.  They need to be taught early love, acceptance and respect to make a better world.

7- My favorite quotes:  "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "I complained I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet"
