Warm Fuzzies

I am touched to find that I have been given the Stylish Blogger Award by Kristen Walker whose own blog I adore!  This is such a warm fuzzy for me because I love blogging and hold it central to my mission, but I’m still really finding my way here.  Thank you for taking notice of my little website, Kristen!

I also want to thank all of you who are checking in on my blog.  I am honored that you are giving me some of your precious time and attention!

Honorees of the stylish blogger award do the following: thank and link back to the person who awarded them, share 7 things about themselves, and pay it forward to 15 recently discovered bloggers.

Here are 7 things about me:

1. I can’t help tickling my son at bedtime even though it is counterproductive!
2. A friend gave me the nickname 101 because I like to take classes in everything.
3. My first job was shoveling sh*#!  No joke!  I was in fifth grade and I helped my neighbors with their horses every Thursday.  The work involved grooming the horses and cleaning their stalls.  I received a dollar and a riding lesson every week and I thought it was a sweet deal!
4. My favorite photography project involved my taking pictures of trash as it floated down Clear Creek in Denver.
5. I went to film school in Guadalajara, Mexico for one semester.  The experience was absurd because I was in way over my head.  My Spanish was decent, but not good enough to engage spontaneously in discussions about semiotics or experimental film!  I didn’t say a word in class – it was awful, (but don’t feel bad because I had beautiful experiences outside of the classroom)!
6. I once stayed the night on the bathroom floor of a train station in Australia, although I can’t remember just where or exactly why.
7. My husband’s name is Raza Mohammed Hussein Ali Baba Kaka Kuka – at least that is what I call him.

I am still in the process of awarding 15 recently discovered bloggers!  I’m savoring the process as it is a goal of mine to broaden my vision online.  So, please feel free to share a link to your blog and/or to some of your favorite hangouts online by leaving a comment below!
