At the end of March, WANA alumni and super blogger <a href="http://elainesmothers.wordpress.com/author/elainesmothers/" target="_blank">Elaine Smothers</a> honored me with the awesome Liebster Love Award.<a href="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/wpblogawardsliebster.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-404 alignleft" title="wpblogawardsliebster" src="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/wpblogawardsliebster.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="51" /></a>
<p style="text-align:center;">Then life erupted. Holiday company arrived.  </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I forgot!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/head-in-hands1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-417" title="head in hands" src="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/head-in-hands1.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="119" /></a>My lovely award sat in my inbox. Lonely and waiting to be shared with others.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">No more. Today I'm spreading Liebster Love.  </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">In case you're unfamiliar with the legend of the Liebster blog award, let me share the definition from another WANA alumni <a href="http://mikeschulenberg.com/" target="_blank">Mike Schulenberg</a>:</p>
<em>“According to legends that come to us from antiquity, the Liebster is meant for blogs that motivate, inspire, and have 200 followers or less. Its apparent purpose is to summon new followers like some sort of mystical talisman, increasing the power of those of us who are just beginning.”</em>

<em></em>To Elaine, I send a very, belated thank you for this honor.

And I hereby pass the award to the deserving bloggers listed below. So many worthy bloggers it was hard to limit myself to only five.
