Given the shiftings and obstacles and reappointments of time and priorities that have effected me over the past month or two, I am very grateful to receive news, messages, word that what work I am able to do is being read, is given attention. Thank you!
Yesterday I received a message from Michele D’Acosta that she had nominated me for the “One Lovely Blog” award, I was surprised and ever so grateful.
Receiving this award asks that the recipient tell readers seven things that they may not know about the creator of the blog:
1. I’m a parent to seven children.
2. I’m a new graduate student in library and information sciences.
3. I adore theory.
4. I’m a classically trained vocalist and pianist.
5. I love all things peanut butter.
6. I have very few friends.
7. I long to be a published author.
Then the recipient is asked to recommend to the readers 10-15 other blogs that he or she finds compelling or necessary:
I’ve recently found it necessary to pare down the blogs I follow due to the time constraints my life imposes and a feeling of overload in providing each blog its due attention. So I’ve had to think hard about what blogs seriously enhance my existence that I engage. I will pass a few of them along here.
Adventures in American Writing
We Need More Time to Stand and Stare
that’ll have to do…as I go over my list of blogs I follow I realize there are SO SO SO many whose news/thoughts/artifacts/messages are meaningful to me. But to list them all! So follow the leads and find the good stuff!
A sincere thank you to all who take time to engage my thoughts and stuff.

and thank you to you! I am honoured to think my blog enhances your existance in any way at all 🙂 I have had to undertake the same paring down exercise recently, it’s so hard to keep up with so many blogs when time is precious. However, I’m looking forward to checking out some of these. Thanks for the recommendations. Best wishes, Emilyx
