Yay! I got a Proximidade Blogger Award from Michael Kwan. It’s for “exceedingly charming, blogging friends who aim to find and be friends.” Thanks, Michael, and thanks also for stating that I made it past the ‘mark all as read’ threshold in your feed reader. 
So, now that I’ve got this shiny new award, what do I do with it? Just two things. First of all, I put the following text in my post:
“I am grateful for an opportunity to award this to a few bloggers who are very special people. I include the following bloggers who may have received this award in the past but I’m sure won’t mind receiving it again.”
Next, I pass the award to eight deserving bloggers who will, I hope, pass it on to others. Here goes:
- Brian of Visit The Coqui
- Rebecca Leaman of Wild Apricot
- Dana Prince of The Writer’s Blog
- Lea Woodward of Location Independent
- Andrew Hayes of Sharing Experiences (aka Andyhayes.com)
- Andrew Shackcloth of Shack’s Comings And Goings
- George Angus of Tumblemoose
- Thursday Bram
Some of these people, like Dana and Rebecca, I’ve known since I started blogging, while others are more recent friends but I always gain something of value from connecting with them. Please visit their blogs as they are all well worth reading.

That was an incredibly generous thing to do Sharon. Interestingly, before I received your newsletter, I wrote a blog this morning about “paying it forward”.
As a Life Coach, but more importantly just as a fellow human being, I applaud your generosity of spirit.

Sharon,
Thank you so much for the inclusion! I’m humbled and grateful.
I shall pass the torch as well.
George
Thanks for passing this along!
Thanks for including me! I’ll have to think about who I want to pass the award along to (you listed a couple of my first choices).

You’re welcome, Thursday, George – you deserve it. Linda, I love the paying it forward concept.
