Building Literacy

Deanna Shrayer of the Life of a Working Writer Mommy has been gracious enough to gift me with her very own Literacy Builder Award! I'm honoured!

Here it is:


To be included in the company of the wonderful people she selected for the award is another honour. I'm thrilled she thought of me!

Now, here are the rules:

1.Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2.Display the award logo on your blog site.
3.Tell us five of your favorite words and why you like them, (add as many as you like).
4.Pass the award on to three bloggers you feel are excellent literacy builders, and link to their sites – Yes, only three!
5.Contact the bloggers you’ve chosen and let them know about the award.

Five of my favourite words... Hmmm... Five...

1. Crooked. Because I like how it sounds.
2. Righteous. Reminds me of a 60s hippie and I'm all for flower power.
3. Sweet. Because I have an obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to dessert. And cake.
4. Faith. Sooner or later we all have to surrender to it, whether it's faith in our family, our friends, our own self, our society, our destiny, our God.
5. Connection. We are all connected. Somehow and someway. Take this literacy award, for example. I'm going to pass this award on to these bloggers (and don't think this wasn't hard):

Linda at leftbrainwrite.

Hema at Wading through Words.

Jaleh at Ex Libris Draconis.

Check out these wonderful writers and soak up their words!

As for me, For the rest of the day I'm going to bask in the thought that I'm a literacy builder. Wow. With our words we can touch the world around us and make it a better place. That's incredible.
