Sundays are my new Fridays, I tell ya! First I read a lovely blog which really resonated with me, then I have me some sweet bread with soya butter (yum!), AND THEN I find out I've been honoured by a sista called Vanessa Byers with an award - not just ANY award, no, but a ROCKING GIRL BLOGGER AWARD - Oscars are sooooo yesterday. (I've never met Vanessa, but you know when sometimes you just 'feel' people?)
There's an Igbo saying: "Aka ekpe kwo aka nni, aka nni akwo aka ekpe" meaning "The left hand washes the right hand, the right hand washes the left" - so I'm gonna pay it forward & extend the honour to 5 other women whose blogs I admire the bras off of.
[the words in brackets are Igbo - 'ofu' means 1, 'ibuo' means 2 and so on...]
ofu) it goes without saying: Ms Straight No Chaser Vanessa Byers!
ibuo) Kristina Wong: Creative. Loopy. Sensitive.
ito) Kirsten Anderberg: Fearless Tongue.
ino) Kumiko: Not afraid to stand on her own.
ise) Bloggrrl: Funny. Sarcastic. Well written. Creative. Non-prescriptive.
isii) I know she said she shouldn't be added to the list, and I know I'm only allowed to recommend 5 women, but this woman initiated the whole Rocking Girl Blogger Award thingymejig, so she's gonna get one - she has no choice, yes, it's you Roberta Ferguson!
Pass the love-loaded appreciation on - if there are any female bloggers out there whose blogs you love reading, why not show it by giving them a Rocking Girl Blogger award? Let's get the mangoes rolling, people :-)
Momma, Am a Rocking Girl Blogger!!!!!
