Nothing is more gratifying than to be recognized for doing something you enjoy. I enjoy spreading truth & facts when it comes to politics, mixed in with some of my favorite recipes, a few book reviews and a touch of movie opinion. I have found my retirement niche in blogging.
Ms. DanLrene from the blog “Work The Dream” has nominated me for The Candle Light Award. Since I can’t improve on Ms. DanLrene’s words, I shall borrow them to describe what exactly The Candle Lighter Award is all about. I admire Ms. DanLrene for her support and kind words since we first met, she inspires me and I love her blog style.
In the words of Ms. DanLrene: This award was created by Kate Kresse , who also has a great blog. You can read the story about the creation of The Candle Light Award by clicking this link. Ms. Kresse says: ” I call my award The Candle Lighter Award. It is for blogs and bloggers that light a candle in the darkness with their blog.”
To be nominated by Ms. DanLrene is an honor. There is nothing else to do for this award except award it to other bloggers, no questions to answer, no revelations about myself, just choose those who light a candle in the darkness of the bloggersphere.
So, I have picked the following blogs to receive this award:
Ms. Kelly at On My Muse
Southern, Ametia & Rikyrah at 3CHICSPOLITICO
Ms. V. Lyn at DRAYTON’S GAZETTE
Ms. Karmen at Peace for Every Living Thing
Ms. Tina & Ms. Jennifer at Project 365 Veterans
Ms. Kimberly at Silently Heard Once
Ms. Tracey at The Ramblings of an Intellectual Sistah
Mr. Nelvin Ray Love at Poetic Trends
Ok I am done….I hope you will go and look at all these blogs above for they are really great and click follow on each one. And I hope those that I nominated will carry on handing out this award to help encourage us all to keep writing.

Jueseppi B.
Thank you for another wonderful award and congrats to all your awards as well! You deserve all of them!
Thank you Ms. Kelly, I hope you have a wonderful & peaceful Sunday
Congratulations Jueseppi, you deserve this award! You are actively making a difference for good. (Also, you won’t put up with “stupid!”) It has been marvelous to read your Black History posts and the recipes you post are wonderful! I love your straight-talking, no nonsense, “I’ll call you out for saying something stupid” attitude.
Lastly, Jueseppi, Thank you for your nomination! I was at an academic conference all weekend and got WAY behind in my blog reading and just made it to this post, Three Days After your nomination! I really do appreciate your encouragement. I don’t have as much time to devote to blogging as I would like, but feel that sharing with each other in this way strengthens all of us simply by making us feel just a bit more connected.
I understand well how real life can become the focus. Remember that real always comes first. I was not concerned that you would be gone long Karmen, I figured you were taking care of business. This blogging family I have been blessed enough to discover, is amazing. You deserve this award too…and you are missed when you are off living real life! I thank you for your kind words of support. I love the feeling of family too.
Congratulations to you and thank you and I finally figured out how to put the widgets on my page. You’re great.
Silently,
I am happy you figured it out…So tell me how you learned to add widgets? Congratulations to you, and your powerful words. Thank you for your kind words to me too.
You’re welcome. It was trail and error lol. Plus I worked on it early in the morning when my thinking is clearer.
Silently,
Well it looks so good. I am proud of your progress.
Thanks, I’m proud too. *smile*
Congratulations! You are really making a positive impact on the internet, and deserve these awards.
Michelle,
You’re such a sweetheart….glad you are here with me. Thank you for saying that.
I mean it.
If you were close by, I’d sneak a kiss.
That’s sweet. I will consider that a cyber kiss, the next best thing.
Glad you are back…missed you when you were gone. You all unpacked?
Yes. I still have one more container to go thru, but that’s it.
Michelle,
Well good to have you back.
Good to be back. Working hard on some graphics for sale here in about a month. Just got all my themes for my other sites and new sites and have a lot of work to do. But starting to pull it together now. Health is getting worse and not sure I’ll be able to keep my current job much longer, so setting up stuff to be able to do my own thing from home. And enjoy what I do.
I wish you well. We have to enjoy our life as we get a bit older. Make things easier for ourselves. You seem to be getting ready to relax and enjoy your life.
Working on it.
Me too.
Looka here, looka here. What is this? A Candlelight Award the one of the biggest blogging hell raisers out here. They must be trippin.’

I’m well. Taking a little break from my blog and visiting others. What a life…
Twin,
Visiting others in real life? Or online?
Online…such is my little life…:-)
