Who else aside from me is still recovering from the whole holiday season? Here at our place, we are preparing to go away for a little R & R and keeping the kids entertained while I get things in order and keep up with all my favorite haunts and getting some work done is proving what else, but a challenge :)

Having said that, I wanted to update you on what has been happening in my cyberworld. I was pleasantly surprised and honored to be in amongst this list of bloggers awarded by the spunky Mauro of 1 Million Love Messages with this Inspiring Great Blog Award. The list of all those awarded blogs are included here and thank you Mauro for including me in this list.

Those of you that may not know, 1 Million Love Messages is a place to share our best loving feelings with the whole wide world. This Blog is made - almost entirely - by the readers. In this project Mauro receives and publishes Love Messages sent by people from all around the world.

This is where you can share what you feel for someone special in your life… Or where you can simply share a Love Thought with the world. It’s a Blog about love in our life… love in the world.

Now for the meme which the lovely Muse from Inspired Day by Day and because I got in a little late, Peter from St Vincents Hospital Male Nurses also tagged me with the same meme. I will take a leaf out of Peter’s blog and write about some of the sites and their owners that have really inspired me this last year.

Glenda Watson Hyatt Glenda Watson Hyatt who is also know as the Left Thumb Blogger is a lady with cerebral palsy. She has followed her dream of writing and publishing a book called I’ll Do It Myself. Glenda has also produced a video of herself showing how she blogs using only her left thumb… hence the name. Thanks for the inspiration Glenda :)

Spread the Love Now Urban Monk is a new site I discovered a little while ago. Albert has teamed up with two other monks - Wade of The Middle Way and Kenton of Zen-Inspired Self Development to Spread the Love Now in the form of a writing project which is to write a post about compassion. There were close to 50 blogs that participated so you will find loads of articles on compassion for inspiration in that list.

WAHM Blog The WAHM blog is a very resourceful site for any woman wanting to work from home. There are lots of tips and free handy tools to make any website just right. Tara is a very successful business woman in her own right and runs several business as well as taking care of her family. A must see site.

I think that I have given you plenty to look at and read through. I would also like to remind you of my gift offer of a book by Jamie McIntyre called What I Didn’t Learn at School but Wish I Had which you can find in my first video recording I made and posted here. The offer remains open until the end of January, and the interview I did with George Kedourie which you can find at his site. It was my first ever interview and a great learning curve! I am attempting to learn all about Web 2.0 mediums which are available to use with marketing.

More inspiring stuff to come shortly. Until then, have fun!
