Award/Tag Free

I would like to personally thank each of you that have presented me with awards & tags of friendship. I have enjoyed participating in each of them that have been granted to me. You have all been such a blessing to me. Due to time constraints as well as not wanting to hurting any feelings or leave anyone out, when passing on the awards that I have been granted, I have chosen to make this blog *award free* & *tag free.* Please know that this was not a rash decision; I have pondered this for awhile before making my decision regarding this.

I pray this does not offend anyone (as that is not my intent at all) and I thank you in advance for your understanding.

Thank You & Now The Award Goes To...

Lisa bestowed this "Love" award upon me. Thank you Lisa so much for this honor.

The award is as follows: "These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find & be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated."

The rules of the award are as follows: Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to 8 bloggers that then need to choose 8 bloggers of their own to pass the award to. Include the following text depicting the award..."Each of the following ladies, I simply love. They each have faced their own challenges in their lives & the way they encapsulate their expierences endears them greatly to my heart."

And now the award goes to...
