Day 5- talk about your pets
Well since I don't have any pets I'll talk about a blog award I received from one of my Cysters.
As I read a comment from my friend Jenny at adamandjennylivingston.blogspot.com I found that she had chose me for the Liebster Blog Award. It makes my heart happy that some people find this blog worthwhile. Thanks for the award Jenny, and your kind words!
Liebster is a German word that literally translates to "favorite", "dearest" or "beloved". By one blogger giving it to another, they are essentially saying, your blog is a favorite of mine.
The rules of the Liebster Blog Award are:
1) Acknowledge the blogger who gave the award by linking back to them
2) Give this award to 5 other bloggers (who have fewer than 200 readers), and let them know through a comment on their blog
3) Post the award on your blog
4) Best of all - bask in the glory, have fun and share the love!
So in following the rules here are some blogs that I find inspiring and people that I find admirable (not sure how many readers they have:) so hopefully it's within the rules).
Sharlies Angels-

Sharlie is truly one of the most inspiring people I have had the privilege of getting to know. Sharlie is currently listed to receive a heart and lung transplant. Her attitude and determination are incredible! I'm in awe at her love for all and the grace and dignity in which she handles her trials.
My Bipolar Coaster-
www.mybpcoaster.blogspot.com Leesa is one of my cousins best friends. I love reading her blog and the openness she shares about her struggles with bipolar. Too often there is a stigma attached to mental illness. I think by sharing her struggles and triumphs she is changing the face of what people assume mental illness to look like. Im amazed at her courage, I'm sure it isn't easy sharing in her journey, but I'm happy to know her and to learn more.
You'll Find That Life Is Still Worth While If You Just Smile-

Choosing this blog is a bit out of the ordinary since I don't actually know this person and have never actually commented on her blog. I learned about her blog from a friend and ever since I read it I have thought of her often. She is a young beautiful woman that has had to face and continues to face many challenges. I admire her for her courageous attitude and ability to find good in the small and simple things that we all take for granted. After only reading a few posts my heart was heavy and I pray that things can turn around for her.
My Life Chasing Butterflies-
www.mylifechasingbutterflies.blogspot.com. This blog belongs to my friend Tammy. I have been friends with her since 6th grade but hadn't had much contact with her until we reconnected a few years ago. As we reminisced we learned of each others trials and triumphs. I learned of the challenges that she has faced with her children. Her strength astonishes me! I truly admire her and the attitude that she has. She is an incredible mother and truly one of my heroes!
Ro Ro Island-

Roshelle was a dear friend that past away 3.5 years ago. We never met, but became very close friends. It was my privilege to know her. She always had an amazing attitude and I learned to appreciate all that I am able to due despite my illness. I'm grateful for her friendship and feel as though I have another guardian angel on my side. Although her blog hasn't been updated since her passing her legacy lives on through the writings she left behind.
There are so many blogs I love, but here are the few I've chosen. I hope you are as inspired by there writings as I have been.
