Trio of Awards!

1/25/2014

5 Comments

 
Anabelle of Written by the Finger of God has graciously nominated My Broken Fiat for a series of blog awards.  I spent a few days mulling over how to go about accepting them.  I felt a little silly posting them here.  My blog is so small and I'm not entirely sure why I'd deserve any of them.  However, I really appreciated that someone felt my sharing of life, struggle and prayer was worth sharing with others.  It absolutely made my day.  

So thank you, Anabelle.  

Per award rules, you link to the person who awarded you and then dole out the awards to bloggers you feel meet the criteria for the selections.  Instead of lumping everyone together, I want to break them up to pass along to individual bloggers who, in my mind, exemplify each award (and notify via combox).  

I'll also list ten things about myself in the comments, and post the awards here:

The Awardees are:

For sharing stories that always leave me feeling refreshed and happy, and for never failing to see the silver lining of God's testing grounds, I'd like to pass along the Sunshine Award to CatholicIcing.com.

In all fairness, CatholicIcing.com is a very well-traveled blog because of Lacy's incredible creativity and willingness to share what's worked with her family, but I still want to pass this along in recognition of all her hard work that NEVER fails to put a smile on my face and some seeds in my head for future projects with my CCD class.  I stalk her regularly.  I suggest you guys do the same, especially all you wonderful homeschooling families.

This award is getting split between the two hosts of Real Catholic Love and Sex, a blog dedicated to giving a unique, honest and insightful forum to those who wish to live a fulfilled, Catholic marriage and enjoy sex in the way it was meant to be enjoyed.  

They both share such incredible resources, and I am not shy about forwarding their "Honeymoon" series to folks.  It contains a plethora of information that is beneficial even to those who haven't lived a super-chaste lifestyle and are seeking to "begin again."

Really - huge kudos to Kate and James. This blog is such a fantastic (and necessary) idea, and I routinely find myself enlightened and appreciative of what they have to offer.

I love this award.  "May you never howl alone."

I just love that.  

I'm passing this along to Deo Volente of Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland.  

Why?  Because he embodies what I think this award seeks to acknowledge - a desire to see joined a multitude of clear and moral voices.

That's exactly what his blog, TLM, does.  He pulls together bloggers from all over the internet and posts them in one place with frequent daily updates.  I can't even tell you how often I've come across some of my favorite entries / reflections because of the work he does in uniting strong Catholic voices.  

Thank you for all the work you do, D.V.  I appreciate it so much.

1. I used to collect pogs (specifically, slammers). I was about 9 years old and my cousin gave me hundreds because she found out I loved the slammers.

2. I also collected crack vials, but that was because I didn't know any better. That's what growing up in North Philly gets you. :)

3. My favorite water ice flavor is a mix of chocolate and black cherry (it's like a cordial cherry).

4. My heart will break for you if you don't know what water ice is.

5. My favorite book is still Where the Red Fern Grows. It's the only book I've read multiple times. I cried every time.

6. I admit I love Greek mythology. Heroes, Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths is the only book I've read twice (Where the Red Fern Grows was read four times, I think, but now I want to read it again).

7. I really do need to reign in the amount of hugging I want to do. If I let my freak flag fly, I'd be hugging people to the point I'd be accused of creepiness. I can't help it. I love hugs.

8. When I was younger, I confided to our family priest-friend that I was afraid of being in trouble when I got to Heaven for liking the Blessed Mother more than Jesus. He laughed and told me not to worry too much because there was no way I could possibly like her more than Jesus did.

9. I used to have a "shrine" next to my bed so I could practice prayer for a good chunk of my childhood. I wanted to be ready for when I entered the convent. Ha!

10. I hate grilled cheese. Unless it's on a pizza, I'm not a fan of melted cheese. Blech.
