Thank you to Addison Byrne, The BardSeeker, for nominating me for the Liebster Award!

For this blog, I was awarded by Sunshine, from A Victim’s Journal.

Addison Byrne is a new follower, and I am touched and amazed that she is so impressed with my work!  Thanks to her for the lovely thoughts.  Welcome to the Blog-o-Sphere and the WordPress Family.

Rules for accepting this Liebster:

1. Thank the blogger that nominated you.
2. Write a small poem – less than 30 words – describing your blog and/or you.
3. Nominate 3 worthy fellow bloggers and post a comment on their blog informing them they are nominated/awarded.

I am not a poet.  I have not illusions of ever BEING a poet.  I love to read poetry, but I don’t  write it.  I blog to  for peace, for women’s issues, for creativity and for spirituality.

While I am not a poet, I am a photographer and a painter.  I think this painting of mine, entitled Mystique is, as they say, worth a 1000 words — certainly worth 30!

My nominations for this award are:

1. Dr. Rex — my wonderful friend, who is so supportive of me and all her friends on WordPress, and whose creativity and good heart shines through on her blog
2. HuntForTruth — whose blog is exceptionally well designed, and whose writing is wonderful.  He always searches for the Truth and never stops until he finds it.
3. Sue Dreamwalker — my good friend from England, who is an inspiration.  She is a woman who walks her talk, who inspires everyone around her, and who promotes the concept of taking care of Mother Earth in the ways of indigenous peoples.
4. Moorbey — A good man, who promotes understanding and open dialogue.  He is a wonderful man who, as a Black Panther who is quite a bit younger than I, is always willing to have a good conversation, and explains his point of view you to me (and the world) eloquently and with patience.  When we don’t agree  he still respects my point of view as I do his.  That kind of “radical acceptance” is rare in the world, and should be celebrated.
