Awarded Again!

My dear fellow bloggers, I have been awarded again. :) This time it's the Neno's award & it was given to me by Magdalena over at The Untamed Thoughts on Autism. Thank you, Magdalena, I am honoured!

Neno's award is given to those who love blogging & love to encourage friendships through blogging. It also seeks to know the reasons why the person being awarded loves blogging.

So, first things first. Why do I love blogging? Well, I started blogging because I was broken and feeling helpless, and I desperately needed an avenue to express myself. I went to therapy, did my yoga, and tried all kinds of other things too, but nothing was really helping until I started blogging. Blogging saved my life, it really did. I mean it. I was on the verge of suicide, but one morning I called Eddy and told her that I wanted to start a blog or something because I needed an outlet. Well, in a couple of hours, Eddy got me up and running & I haven't looked back since. I wrote out all the pain, despair, anger, everything. I wrote until I cried over all that I lost, and somehow, little by little, I gained so much more. I got my life back!! Not only that, I've made so many wonderful new friends. I started healing from my pain because complete strangers took the time to read what I had to say & to leave me messages of encouragement, hope, and love. You have no idea how much that means to me & I thank you all so much. I will never forget what you've done for me & continue to do for me. Lastly, the most amazing thing out of all this is my relationship with my super great cuz, Eddy. Without her help, her pushing me to write, and telling me to get to it, I could never have come this far. So, with great love and appreciation, thank you, Eddy. It's all because of you that I’m able to forge this new road. Thank-you, and I promise that I'm going to buy a better dictionary & that I will use less commas when I'm writing my drafts. LOL

Now, I'm to pass the Neno's award on to as many bloggers as I choose. Those of you selected must then do the following:

1. Collect the award by saving the badge & posting it on your blog

2. Write a blog post about the Neno's award -- tell everyone what it's about, who awarded it to you, and also tell everyone why you love blogging

3. Pass the award on to as many bloggers as you like by naming them in your post & linking back to their blogs

4. Let those bloggers know that they have been awarded

I have chosen the following bloggers as Neno's award recipients:

Court at Tangles Out

Polly at Polly Abroad

  1. Any award that comes your way is surely more than well deserved. I never realised that there was a sad story or tortured soul behind those words that always cheer me up so much.

    A thousand hugs coming up for the only woman who has seriously made me consider batting for the "other" team! YOU ROCK, JB, AND I LOVE YOU TO PIECES!!!! You've made cyberspace a better place and I always look forward to the next instalment.

    MWAH (and then some).

  7. I started blogging for the same reasons.

    I've been telling my family and friends that blogging = therapy. I actually got most of them to join Livejournal and they agreed with me. Hahaha! Although, that WAS eons ago and only 1/4 of them still blog.

    Blogging is seriously one of the greatest ideas on earth.

  10. Thank you so much for this award, JB! I'm stunned and in awe! I'm very, very pleased you felt I deserved it.

    It must be one of the more meaningful awards in blogosphere and I am very honoured to accept it... somehow this award made me realise that there are real people behind the blogs and even if we can't see each other face to face, we still became good friends through blogging because we talk about things that really concern us, we can be honest, perhaps more honest that in real life conversations...

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

  12. @Polly...it is these things that make us who we are. Honesty among strangers who would of thought such a thing. I have always known that all the strange faces that pass me at work or on the street has a story, life, love, hurt, disappointment and all the other things that make us human. I am honored to be among all of you more then you can all imagine. This life is grand and we are so grand in it. This is life, so let’s all live it with the glass full not half full or empty.

  14. JB, you really just crystallized how I feel about blogging and the profound effect it has had on my life.

    Congrats on the award - I really, truly love your blog.

  15. JB,

    First, you deserve the award because your blog, your tenacity and spunk, have inspired other people.

    That's what writing is all about.

    Other people will tell you it's about money and what you've published and where. Nah, it's not. It's about 1.) empowering yourself and 2.) empowering other people.

    You've done that.

    Congratulations.

    :-)

    Love You Lots
    JB

  17. @Alana.....what can I say to you the women who inspires me. I hope that I can see life with the great heart and mind you have someday. Thank-you for the wonderful words of confidence you always give me you cannot imagine how much it has helped me. I will someday thank you all in person. It is that which I am striving for, to be able to see all your faces together in one room for a day of thanks.

    With Great Love

  49. I'm glad you've been given such an appropriate award. What I love most about your blog, JB, is that you're not one of those egotistical people who have blogs because they basically want to be famous *pretty much describing myself here*. You're a kind soul and you're so good to everyone even though you've been through such rough times. That takes a lot and I respect you so much for it.

    Sorry it's taken me so long to comment this entry, I've been away from blog world for a few days :(

    Hope you're feeling great!

    And by the way, HAHA @ your comment about using too many comma's in your drafts. TOO CUTE

  50. @katieleigh.....my friend your words mean alot to me. I know that you've started a new job and I hope your doing good. Thanks for the kindness but as you feel this for me I feel the same for you. I consider you a good friend for life, my not so little kangaroo.

    With Great Love
