Kim F. of silentlyheardonce and Karen Robiscoe of Charrons Chatter have honored and humbled myownheart with this mention as an influential blogger. I am but a simple woman writing of my life and the ups and downs…okay having pity parties for one, dry wit, funny, sad or morbid, a not so publishable short story now and again but influential…never thought of my blog as that. I just want to write and if what I say influences others, I would pray it is in the right vein. I am thankful for the honor but the honor is truly all mine for the many that read and comment, encourage, sympathize and even those that critique or give me a swift kick I thank you all it has been a great year this 2012, for God has blessed me abundantly with all of you.

The Rules:
There are no rules for this award except you MUST pay it forward, and that means, sometime in the next 6 months, you “should” chose the blogs you deem worthy of your label of The Most Influential Blog Of 2012, to you.
That’s it. Only rule.

EVERY blog I follow inspires me in some way so this is quite difficult in choosing those that have had the most impact on my life this year, so I will start with these few and know that within the six month time frame given I will name others.
Here are my choices for now:

Alastair~ His photography is superb ,  His prose and opinions offer me at times serenity and  provoke thought  as well.
Charron’s Chatter~ Karen is a free spirit living in California, living from all presented “the good life ” which she shares through her stories and photos. she is an accomplished writer and a valuable limerick writer. what endears her to me the most she is my “sole-sister” she understands and relishes my addiction !

silentlyheardonce~ Kim has my greatest admiration for taking on the court system and her own family members to give her grandson the love, trust and stability every child needs, she is a strong woman but does not realize how strong she really is. she is struggling financially, emotionally and physically but she believes in doing what is right for this I give her the greatest support. She is also a very talented poet and wish she could be published which would help tremendously with her self-esteem and her finances.

catnipoflife~Sharla has such a positive outlook on life and her blog is always filled with good cheer, love and wit. Visit this most proficient blogger and I guarantee you will come away thinking can’t wait to see what she writes next!

thewhyaboutthis~~Penny is full of love for humankind and thrives in an aura of positivity and spirit. she is a true genius…she won’t say but probably a member of MENSA (I think that is the club for superior intelligence).

writingbetweenthelines~Naomi Baltuck  again for the mentoring, encouragement and uplifiting…she shares her travels and love for fun and family with photos and stories or captions and a great wit.

God’sPromise To You~~ Lyn Leahz has one of the most spiritual blogs with up to date news of the coming of the end…and shares her walk with Jesus in a most proficient manner.

marblesinmypocket~ Charles Mashburn a wonderful published author and a very inspiring post nearly daily, he has lifted mr out of desperation and darkness by his words many times. A very knowledgeable and spiritual man!
So there you have them, my first few 2012 influential blogs.  MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
