award winning blogs

one of the reasons i have grown to love blogging
since i dove into it about six months ago,

is the sense of community i feel.

i have met so many inspiring women [and men]!

recently, christina from the tattered tag awarded me 

thank you very much!
everyone who receives the award is asked to share
seven facts about themselves and
select 15 bloggers to give the award to.

7 random facts about me:

1 - i listen to my favorite colorado radio station, kbco while at work.

[thank goodness for online streaming]

2 -i love maps! i think this comes from being an air force brat

 i keep this massachusetts map on my desk at work to refer to whenever

someone talks about a town i'm unfamiliar with.

3 -i can't stop using a paper desk calendar

i love technology, but there's just something about writing things down

...it helps me remember!
