Kim over at Face Me, I read Lips, awarded me with the “Beautiful Blogger Award”.

Thank you Kim. That was touching. Kim noted that what she liked about my blog was that I made an effort to transcribe all my ASL vlogs for those who don’t know, or who are just learning ASL. I do this with great pleasure because equal communication access is important to me. So, thank you, Kim, for noting that. I’ve just started coming back from a year-long hiatus. Hopefully, I can get back in the groove.

To be able to post this blog award on my site, I am to do the following:

1) Thank the person who nominated me for this award.
2) Copy the award & place it on my blog.
3) Link to the person who nominated me for this award.
4) Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself.
5) Nominate 7 bloggers.
6) Post links to the 7 blogs I nominate.

So, having done the first 3 above, I’ll finish with 7 interesting things about me, nominate other bloggers and post their links.

7 interesting things about me:

1) I sleep like a flamingo – on my side with one leg up.

2) I’m addicted to iced Chai tea. I love how the spices roll around my tongue and linger on the inside of my cheeks for minutes after each sip.

3) I still love blogging and vlogging. Wish I had more time to do it these days.

4) Three books I’m reading right now: Traveling with Pomegranates (a mother/daughter story) by Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor, Roll Around Heaven (an all-true accidental spiritual adventure) by Jessica Maxwell, and The Groovy Side of the 60′s (a hippy book).

5) I’m allergic to marijuana. Tried it once. Broke out in hives on my chest. Nevermore.

6) I’m seriously thinking about attending the next Burning Man event. Have always wanted to. Pure wildness!

7) I dream about running/owning/leading a Deaf Retreat – a place of accessible wellness, rejuvenation, communication, growth, breathing, massage, nature, learning, meaning, playing and praying – for diverse Deaf people… I hope to make this dream come true.

Now for 7 bloggers/vloggers that I’d like to pass the Beautiful Blogger Award to because they never fail to move me deeply. Their posts make my heart open wide every time I see them. They touch on the very heart of what life is all about, whether they are a Deaf individual, parent, partner, spirit, leader, guide or child of a Deaf parent, they strike a chord that resonates deep within the collective consciousness, and the universal human experience we all share. I’ll never tire of reading or viewing these bloggers and vloggers. You are all BEAUTIFUL!
