Blogger Awards – Catching Up

Every now and then I receive a nudge from a fellow blogger letting me know that they have included me on a list of blogs they’ve nominated to receive a blogger award. It’s always a thrill to receive one of these nudges, and to know that my little blog has meant something to someone.

But I have a confession to make.

You know how sometimes things just fall between the cracks? Even when they’re important? Well, last year I received several blogger nominations within a few months of each other (back when I was still blogging as Dawn Storey). While at the time I was both excited and moved when I received each and every one of them, and fully intended to post links and fulfill the obligations of the various awards… for whatever reason, I didn’t.

And I am sorry.

This week a nomination for a brand new award reminded me of my negligence, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to remedy the situation by saying a belated (but no less grateful) THANK YOU! to my very kind (and ever so patient!) blogging friends.

(I believe I bookmarked everyone who had nominated me for an award in the past, but some of the links I saved are no longer working, so if I missed you please accept my apologies and heartfelt thanks.)

And now, to the one who reminded me to do this catching up, thank you to Life Breath Present, who just this week nominated me for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award!
