“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” ― Anatole France

Look at what just got delivered:  Books from my two new favorite writers.

I know I am a little late to this party, but I want to celebrate these beautiful women and their books.

The Scars We Don’t See by Cassa Bassa from “Flicker of Thoughts” https://flickerofthoughts.com/

and

Re-Create & Celebrate by Cindy Georgakas from “Unique Times With Cindy” https://uniquelyfitblog.com/

Major congratulations to Cassa and Cindy.  Their blogs always inspire me, so I am sure I will be even more inspired by their books.  

I applaud the effort, dedication and love that went into creating this two gorgeous books.  I am sure I will enjoy reading them, and will come back here with a review. 

Until then, I just want to say: You go girl!! I am so proud of you both!!

I have 16 awards to work on.  Yes,  you heard me!  16!!  SIXTEEN!!!

I want to state for the record that I will mess up.

I know I will:

Forget to thank people

Forget to nominate blogs that really deserve a nomination

Nominate some blogs twice for the same award

Get the award rules confused

and for that I apologize in advance.

I am going to start with the Sunshine Blogger Award.

THE RULES

sunshine-blogger-award1

1.Repost the award in a post that includes the blog of the person that nominated you.

2.State 10 things about yourself.

3.Nominate 10 people.

The blogs I am nominating range from poetry to recipes, from photo blogs to dating life, from book reviews to bible verses and everything else in between.  They are new bloggers and old ones.  Some post everyday while others are less frequent. But they all have something to say and they all have commented on my blogs and I appreciate them all.  Go and check them out.
