The Daily Dose
I've been blogging since last March, and the miracle in this is that I am still blogging. Not just blogging, but making connections with so many other people out there who enjoy this avenue of expression as much as I do. If you would have asked me last January if I had a blog, I would have stared blankly at you and wondered what in the world you were talking about!
So, in celebration of my stick-to-it-ness I am creating a blog award. I'm calling it The Daily Dose award, and it goes to the blogs that I must read every day without fail. Seriously, I might as well mainline new posts...it's that addictive. I feel acute disappointment when I go to my favorite blogs and find old posts (no pressure here, girls!).
So here's to all the blogs that you've discovered that you can't possibly live without. They make you laugh, cry, think and feel connected every time you read a post. They give you a thrill as you see them loading into your browser and you get an equally satisfying thrill when you see that they have commented on your blog.
I am giving this award to Alana, Heather, Sue, Leah, Lisa and Karen. Please feel free to pass this award along as you see fit. All I ask is that you link here so I can also visit the blogs that each of you find so interesting.

May you be blessed in all you do

Very creative - and excellent choices. I love all of the blogs that you have chosen.
Hi Xandra
I gave your award to a couple of my blogger friends.
Thanks for being so creative.
I am amazed at the friends that I have made in the few short months since I started blogging.. Who would have thought a year ago that the word blogging was even in my vocabulary....... I am so overwhelmed with the warmth and transparency of all the ladies out there........ I really feel blessed...........
Nice to meet you.........
Karen gave me this adorable award and I have passed it on! The blog world is such a fun place to belong to, isn't it? I have poked around your blog a bit and have had a great time!
*smiles*

Thank you Xandra. It's nice to "meet" you. My friends Sharon and Denise linked me to you.
That is a GREAT award! Thanks for starting it off.
By the way...I feel the same disappointment when I go visit my 'favorites' and see that there's nothing new posted.
I started blogging in May -- and like you, I NEVER expected to make such strong connections via the internet.
Thank you for the thoughtful consideration you placed into the design of this award.
that award is so yummy, i want to *eat* it!!!!!
thanks and love from kate in new zealand X
Thanks for making that lovely award...yummy!
Xandra, I just signed your Linky -- but I feel compelled to add that I haven't passed the award on (yet). So my post won't keep you glued to the computer (yet).
All the same, thanks for starting this great award. The graphics are beautiful, and the description is perfect.
This is my first visit here,but after i recieved this award I wanted to give credit so I put it on my sidebar with a link back to you. Such a thoughtful award to make Thanks so much!
Wow! The list has gotten huge!!
What a cool idea. I feel honored that someone saw fit to give this award to me. Just look what you started!
This is just the absolute greatest award! IT is exactly how I feel as I click on my favorite blogs and when they comment on mine!
Thank you for creating this award to express how we feel and how much we treasure the friendships we've made here in the blog world.
You are a blessing and I am looking forward to visiting you as well!
Sweet blessings to you my new friend!
What a sweet award. I received it from Kim at mom-musings and shared it too.

Julie

Heather
Thank-you to the very awesome Hay at http://hippyhappyhay.wordpress.com for my award.
She's one groovy chick.
Thansk for starting this Xandra. It's a really neat award and we all have our daily dose that we need to visit!
Wow! What a fun thing you did! And it's kinda like the Energizer Bunny. What a thrill it was to get the award from Denise, especially since I'm such a newbie at all this!
I just added my 8 for '08 - just couldn't hold it to 5!
Thanks for creating this award! What a cool idea! I just got nominated and it just made my day! I can't wait to take a look at your blog!!! Thanks!

=^..^= Good Morning Xandra!
I received your lovely award through Tracy's blog, Seaside Enchantment and couldn't figure out it's origin. Finally, I thought to Google it!
. . :: Bingo :: . .
Found you ... and your gorgeously worded blog. The banner is fantastic ::sigh::
I wanted to let you know another has felt your touch. Do you realize how many people you have touched by your simple thought (and acted upon) random act of kindness?
Your one sweet idea to brighten anothers day is bouncing about the internet ... traveling out in cyberspace ... Landing blog to blog ... uniting new people, creating new friendships and strengthening the bonds of friendships already glued together by years of trust & laughter.
I wish to nominate you for the Bright Light Award. There is no one out there more deserving!
I hope you will accept. To view & copy:

Great award. Nice to share the love with the bloggers we read daily. Thanks!
The support I get from my blogging buddies, is indescribable, is that a word??? Anyway, as much fun as it is to get the award, I loved being able to give it to someone else who made a difference to me.
What a great idea:)Thanks!
What a fantastic Award. I too didn't expect to learn so much from blogland and make the connections I have.
There are a couple of blogs I read on a daily basis and they certainly are a must as I find them so inspirational. I would love to use your award for these truly special people.
I got the daily dose from Kalakly and I am always surprised when i hear some one reads my blog daily. i will be sure to pass on the award just as soon as i figure out who i should pass it too.
