I was sitting at my desk, taking a short break from writing my upcoming book The Depression Factor: A Sacred Journey into Awakening Consciousness when I suddenly said aloud, “I’m ready to come out of hiding with my work and my message.” No sooner did that desire express itself out into the world than a little miracle arrived in my email inbox. My good friend and colleague Monika Woolsey, MS, RD awarded my Divine Self! Blog with the Kreativ Blogger Award!
Monika Woolsey is a bright, energetic, and enthusiastic woman with a big heart. For her, life is “about respect—for our planet, its resources, and its inhabitants, be they with legs or anchored in the ground with roots. For each other. And for ourselves.” Monika specializes in teaching people the value of healthy living at www.afterthediet.com. She is also the creator of inCYST Programs for Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome at www.incyst.blogspot.com. Thank you Monika for the recognition and the thumbs up!

As a developing, VERY green blogger, I appreciate the tone of Annette’s blog as a model for my own. I am honored to now be connected to someone whose work is being noticed on and offline. Annette’s example in this post has taught me much about being a quality, dedicated blogger. A blog so worthy of award and mention, I have a guide on how to work a blog for my own readers, and graciously accept the kudos and accolades I hope it will one day deserve.
Thanks!
