[ROB]ots, Puppies & Stuf Nominated for The Sunshine Award!

I have spent this past year blogging about art and life, curating pieces I’ve found around wordpress and sharing them as a celebration of talented people doing tremendously wonderful things. I’ve also given my thoughts on various subject, trying to add a humorous spin to them.

I also share my own journey in picking up drawing again. As a kid, I would draw superheroes all the time, and then, for some unknown reason, I just stopped for a good 10 years. But now I’m back! And I’m very grateful to accept this award.

I was thrilled to hear I had been nominated for the Sunshine Award!

The rules of this award are the following:
1) Use the Sunshine Award logo in the post.
2) Acknowledge the nominating blogger and show some appreciation by linking to their website.
3) Share a little blogging love by nominating 10 fellow bloggers “who positively and creatively inspire others” in the blogsphere & leave a comment on nominees’ blogs to tell them of the award.
4) Share 10 personal factoids to contribute to the blogger community.

Here goes…Starting with the logo.
First, an official one, then an artistic innovation by another blogger, and then my own adaptation.

A huge thank you to my good friend Virtually Riki for nominating me for this award. I’m very touched to be such an influence that I would make such a cool list of people. Riki is all about connecting and exploring with others to find insight, which I think is just an incredible life mission and fully support that cause. It is exciting to connect with wordpress bloggers who truly love the art of exploration, connection, learning and teaching!

10 bloggers deserving of kudos!

About Me

Since this has already been a pretty full post by my standards, I’ll be taking time in my next post to talk about myself so people can get to know me.
