A Nice Surprise

Recently I received a wonderful surprise from Crystal Rainbow over at Sparkle and Shine.  The rules are as follows:

• Thank the one who sent it your way
• Sum up your blogging motivation, philosophy, and experience using 5 words
• Pass it on to 5 others who blogs who you feel have real substance.

Easy enough.  so here goes.

• A big thank you to Crystal Rainbow.  Her site always seems to cheer me.  I have to say that I love her color selection.  But then I am a bit partial to purple.  blessings to a dear soul.
• Five words makes it a bit difficult...But lets give this a go.  Searching, Sharing, Growing, Opportunities, and Blessing.  I feel my journey is one of continual searching and my blog has become an extension of that.  Through sharing, I have grown in so many ways and the so many wonderful opportunities have come my way.  Which all in turn has given me tremendous blessings. 
• Now for the fun part.  Passing it on to others.  This is also a difficult part as there have been so many who I feel have great substance to what they share with many of us.  So remember if you are not mentioned it does not mean that your words have not lifted me in some way....
• Georgina over at Dreaming of Rosemary - Something always inspirational going on there.
• Nydia over at Bringing Up Salamanders - I love the way you can feel the love and joy she has for life flow from her posts. And she has the most adorable son.
• Faerwillow at Serendipity - A tranquil place with wise words and beautiful photos
• Mary at Moontides - All I can say is such wisdom
• Hannah and Bridgett over at Divining Women - Such a wonderful example of how we all search through life for the answers we seek.
