Congratulations to Dorann of (http://countryliving4beginners.wordpress.com) – hailing from the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia for receiving the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award and for passing it along to me too!
If you love musings about country living and want to figure out how to move from the city to the country and have a good laugh along the way – then you’ll be at the right spot with Dorann’s adjustment. Oh my, be sure to check out her blog its fun, sensitive and loaded with tips (#1, don’t wear high heels on a gravel driveway!). I love Dorann’s writing – it’s thoughtful, introspective, and sometimes downright hillarious! Her writing comes to us from personal experiences – I hope you take some time to read her blog, it was a wonderful discovery for me.
Check out Dorann’s post from May 1, 2013, “A Ghostly Image in the Fog!” It was my introduction to Dorann’s blog that I’ve never forgotten – wonderful, fabulous writing!
Check out a July posting, “A Life Changing Moment” sweet and funny!
In Dorann’s words – I couldn’t have written it any better, “I have learned over time that there is a lot more to blogging than blogging. By itself, the exercise is rewarding – that is, if you are a true loner. Otherwise, when you begin to reach out to the blog-us-fear, you are bound to become part of a team of players. And suddenly you find yourself not only blogging, but reading, liking, and commenting, and finally, becoming part of a team who are all enjoying constructive interaction to help you to achieve your goals. That is what makes blogging so rewarding!”
Thank you to all those who follow my blog, your support and encouragement means the world to me! So thank you Dorann for this wonderful award, I am happy to receive it and to pass it forward. There are some rules of course:
