One Lovely Blog Award and Weekly Recap

I've been given the One Lovely Blog award by my friend Tabitha! It means a lot coming from her. She's a superwoman who runs THREE blogs, including the incredible book and writing resource Writer Musings, plus she's a mom to two kids and an agented writer working on several manuscripts and...I could go on and on. But seriously. Super. Woman.

Thank you Tabitha!

Here are the rules for this award:

Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and their blog link.

Pass the award on to 15 other blogs that you've newly discovered.

Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
