Woohoo!! What a way to be wrapping up the year?! My blog just received two awards from two very lovely people Joana Alonzo and Joe.
Joana is a young, talented student who has an adorable blog at The OC.
Joe, is simply quite a lot of things, a golfer, an ex Air Force man, a family man and an IT braniac. Wat more?! You can catch Joe at My Haphazard Proclivities.
The Versatile Blogger Award
The Liebster Blog
I did not know, until about a month ago, that blogs received awards. I think it’s just amazing, how a simple gesture by a fellow blogger, can help boost your confidence and give you that urge to keep going.
Liebster, I believe means dearest / beloved in German. Thank you so much, Joana Alonzo and Joe for the love.
The Liebster Blog Award

Well deserved Vinett! It still amazes me how supportive the WordPress community is. Awards, constant praise, and motivation are always being passed around and it’s awesome to see. As bloggers and writers, it is necessary to motivate and inspire our fellow writers so we can rejuvenate either as, as you alluded too. I know there have been times where I wanted to give up or felt my content wasn’t liked, or interesting, or whatever, but with each comment, like, or subscription, it motivates me that much more to keep writing. I hope it does the same for you, which it sounds like it has.
Great job! Keep writing!
Yeah I know… WordPress and the wordpress community never stops motivating you.. Did you notice the new feature wordpress has added recently, that comes up just after you post? Pretty cool I must say! They just found another way to inspire bloggers to write. : )
And the community here has been ever so welcoming 🙂 …Thanks for the award again, it certainly has given me an extra push, I needed. I think there’s loads and loads of wonderful blogs to be explored.. If not for these awards we would never know of ’em. pretty awesome.
Hey, hope you have a wonderful 2012, Joe.
