I am honored to have been selected by 3 different bloggers for the Sunshine Blogger Award. I am going to attempt in order of nominations, to thank each person and answer all the questions asked of me (whoo). 

First thank you to Phil at Life Plan. He is always posting motivational quotes that really get you thinking. Not to mention his desire to really interact within the WordPress Community. He desires to learn other bloggers, and makes posts that allow that to happen. If you have not happened upon his site, I would check it out for some good feelers on a crummy day. 

Then there is Nel, if you don’t know of her I would be surprised. She is in love with books, and has done many book tags. Her blog is a little bit of everything, she has photos, the daily prompt, and really enjoys interacting with others here as well. She has made a stamp within WordPress. She has a charisma about her, and it shows. Check her out if you have not. You will not be dissapointed. 

Then last, but certainly not least there is Debbie. One of my all time favorites here on WordPress. She an inspirational poetic writer. Her words so eloqeunt, and always glorifying to God. She has beautiful pictures that go along with each write as well. She is a well written poetic delight. I love her posts, and draw my own inspiration from them daily. If you have not been to her site check out for inspiration and hope seeping through each word she writes.
