Then this beautiful award from the lovely Tessa at
This award is to be passed on as an acknowledgement of womanhood and sisterhood to those we’ve come to value most especially during our time in the Blogworld.
And because Tessa says it so beautifully, I hope she won't mind that I borrow these words from her...There are so many remarkable women whose blog company I treasure and whom I have grown to think of as true friends during our exchanges in this amazing world even though I may never have actually met them in person. Someday, somewhere, I hope we will meet, but in the meantime I would love to pass this friendship award on to these very special ladies and men in acknowledgement of how much I value their visits to, and comments on my Lori Times Five world.

Please take this award everyone, I know I would make a mess of linking, so i'll hand it to you instead! here you are Nicky, Lola, Aden, Tessa, Diana, Kavita, Karen, Renee, Clarity, Mina, Mandy, Tam, Ribbon, Jeri, Michi, Janis, Anja, Geli, Nancy, Helen, Val, Meagan, Natalie, Janelle, Cynthia, Joanne, Chaitra, Rosaria, Michelle, Lori Lynn, Tulsa, Sallymandy, Reya, Maithri, Miranda, Janet, Tiennie, Bogey, Bhavana, kj and ♥ Braja

♥ lori
I just sit here smiling. Don`t need to say much, do I? I am proud to be included in this sisterhood (with a few men sprinkled in. Maithri sure belongs here!)of yours and Tessa`s. Though I don`t know each one, I`ll be glad to meet with you! Like Willow arranged her fabulous cyber party, we should arrange a virtual meeting, too! What if all of your "sisters" commented and introduced themselves with a word or two? To be reduced to one word, like in your answers, would make me overbubble with left-out words!! (haha, I liked your inventions like passportstamps and GeliVal)
ReplyDeleteDid I say I need not say much but nod in agreement? Pretty many words already!! But you see that I love you, Bonnie Lori, and all your beautiful offspring, too. I lift my glass of apple juice to you (enough of Champagne for a while!) and toast to all my sisters! Cheers from Geli
Lori, you are so kind and I'll accept the challenge of ONE word answers..... help only one, will do it over the weekend.

I'm a tingling - I love sisterhood, womankind, kind women...thank you Lori...and thank you for your friendship. Loved the meme. Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteDear Lori, that is so sweet and touching, thank you. Geli has hit upon a good idea there.
ReplyDeleteYour answers are enlightening and so honest. I too will try and answer appropriately in future, in the mean time, allow me to thank you again and on my blog as I was just about to post when you messaged me :) Peace and love, xxx.
P.S. your kids look adorable.
Your answers seem to represent you :) And your love for safari :D!! Thank you for including me in the list. It is my first award and I am happy its from you.

As someone with the gift of gab, I realize the complication of a one word answer. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteLori, I had so much fun reading your one word answers and Lobster is the best, I agree!!!

Warm wishes,
Mina
