The Emblem Of The Helping Hand


I have been tagged again and this time, I'm saying "thank you" to Mizrepresent over at Miz's Write For Life for naming me (my blog) as a "Helping Hand". In turn, I need to name five bloggers (blogs) who are my "Helping Hand" and they are:

1. Thoughts of a Southern Gal (One Good Reason...)

2. Rich Fitzgerald (The Rich House)

3. Opinionated Diva (Divalicious Opinions)

4. 12Kyle (The 12th Planet)

5. CurvyGurl (The CurvyGurl Chronicles)

You guys have supported my blog on a continuous basis and in return, have introduced me to people I wouldn't have otherwise met. I can't thank you enough and I'm so glad to have cyber met you all.

Next, I need to extend a "Helping Hand" in support and encouragement to five more bloggers (blogs) and they are:

6. Beautifully.Conjured.Up (Conjured Perceptions)

7. Qucifer (It's Q's World You Just Live In It)

8. Strongblkwoman (Tammy's Thoughts)

9. Truth (The Enclave)

10. Kofi Bofah (Onyx Investments)

You guys have great blogs and I hope that the exposure here brings you an even larger audience because you deserve it.

And finally, I added my name (blog link) to "The Helping Hand Meme" and a comment was left there as a permanent record.

Smile Enjoy and have fun everybody!!!


Rules for The Emblem of the Helping Hand:

1. Select 10 bloggers: First, pick 5 bloggers that you consider your blogging "Helping Hand". Second, pay it forward by extending your "Helping Hand" to 5 additional bloggers in support and encouragement for their efforts.

2. In passing on the emblem, each recipient must provide the name of the blog and/or blog author with a link for others to visit. Each recipient must show the emblem and put the name and link to the blog that has given it to her/him.

3. Link the emblem to this post, "Helping Hand: Much Obliged and Paying it Forward", so that others will know its origin and impetus.

4. If you have not already done so, show your recipients some love by adding them to your blogroll, Technorati Favorites list, or in some other way to further let them know that their blog voice is important to you and being heard.

5. Add your name to "The Helping Hand Meme" and don't forget to leave a comment as a permanent record of all "Helping Hand" recipients.

6. Display the rules in your post.

Congratulations on receiving the Emblem. I am humbled and very much obliged for your sharing it with others. We all need a little support and encouragement from time to time which is the reason I created this award.

Are you a Nupe? O.K.I'm being funny. LOL! I see you received the Emblem from a Distinguished Lady of THE ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC. - so, I know your spot is deserving! LOL

Thanks Keith! We go way back, huh? Seems like it's been years, but it's really only a few months. I always appreciate your taking the time to shed light and make me laugh on the regular. Your friendship is appreciated more than you know :).

Whoa...

Thank you for the shout out.

I try to check you out daily to see what words of wisdom - you got for us. The days that I don't show up mean that I am extremely busy.

I will check out this helping hand set-up soon.

And know that I encountered your blog via Go Zack...

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
