Friendship Blog Award

Lisa Logan of Writing In My Wildest Dreams awarded me the Friendship Blog Award. Lisa has a great blog. When you click over, you’re taken to a warning of Adult Content. For a long time, I stopped and didn’t go any further. When I finally clicked to enter, I found it not at all “adult.” Rarely is there anything deserving of the warning, so don’t let it stop you from visiting. She’s an expert on Feng Shui and dream analysis. I’ve adopted her as my therapist (=;-O)

About the award:
Blogs that receive the Let’s Be Friends Award are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and 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. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers.
I'd hereby like to deliver this award to the following exceedingly charming, friendly bloggers:

Karen Walker of Karen…following the whispers
Karen is open and always willing to share herself with those of us who stop by.

Stacy S. Jensen of Stacy Writes
Stacy speaks her mind and always entertains.

Lauri Kubuitsile of Thoughts from Botswana
With each post, Lauri takes me to her world which is quite different from mine.

Marvin Wilson of The Old Silly’s Free Spirit Blog
Marvin has probably received about every award there is, but he still deserves an award for friendship, plus he’s still smiling even though his blog got eaten and he had to start over.

Hagelrat of Unbound
Not only is Hagelrat not a rat, she’s a great friend of writers. Check out her blog which is full of book reviews!

Angie Ledbetter of Gumbo Writer
Angie does the unexpected. One day she’s talking about Dr. Phil then the next she’s giving out a recipe for Peach Cobble, complete with pictures, and somehow relating it to writing.

Jane Kennedy Sutton of Jane’s Ride
What’s not to love about someone who, in the same post, can blog about a horror book written entirely on toilet paper and a spray fragrance called Smell of Books that comes in New Book Smell, Scents of Sensibility, Classic Musty, Crunchy Bacon and Eau You Have Cats?

Julie Lomoe of Julie Lomoe’s Musings Mysterioso
If you’re having a bad day, just click over and look at the picture at the top of her blog. It’ll calm you down. Then read a post or two, maybe the one titled, “Norman Mailer Admired My Chest…”

I leave it up to each of these great bloggers to pass on the Let’s Be Friends Award - or not. But I do hope that every person who stops by Straight From Hel today will visit these wonderful people and make some new friends.

  2. Wow what a nice surprise this morning. :) Good friends made in the wonderful world of Bloggydom (like you) are a such a nice fringe benefit of blogging. Congrats on your receiving this, thanks for the pass on to me, and I'm familiar with several of the other recipients - all cool peeps with great blogs.

  15. Give it a try, Diane. You can always exit if something offends you. Conda, I'm learning from others, too.

  16. Thanks so much for the plug, Helen! Yes, the warning was required by Blogger as some of my excerpts and occasional content involves adult material. But it's not the focus of what I offer there.

    Off to check out some of YOUR award winners!

  18. Congrats on the award, Helen.
    I've been neglecting my blog a bit lately so I can get Killer Career in the can. Hope to have free time soon, but I'm not counting on it. Lots of stuff to do. I've got to look for my list again.

    Great blog choices

  23. Hi Stacy, Enid and Angie.

    The slide show isn't new, but it can go unnoticed. I think I need to load new pictures, if I can remember how to do it!
