I was honored today to receive not just one blog award but seven. What’s more I received those seven awards from two separate bloggers! Emily Guido very deservedly received seven separate awards: the “Inspiring Blog Award”, “The Versatile Blogger”, “Kreativ Blogger”, “Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award”, “The Reader Appreciation Award”, “The Sunshine Award” and “The Beautiful Blogger Award.” She bundled all of them up and awarded them altogether as Seven Awards.
You can read all about Emily’s awards, the people she recommends and even get a snippet of her “Light-Bearer” series at her Light-Bearer Series Blog. The Light-Bearer series consists of two novels so far, Charmeine and Ransom. They tell the story of a romance between two polar opposites, an ancient vampire called Tabbruis and a woman who throws lightning to fight vampires called Charmeine. I’ve enjoyed the excerpts Emily has posted and recommend them to anyone who likes vampire romance.
The other person who awarded me these seven awards is Camgal. I’ve just started reading Camgal’s blog, but already I was impressed with her insightful look at Pocahontas (both the Disney film and the woman of history), her poetry, and I enjoyed her review of Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows (A movie I still need to see!) I look forward to reading more of Camgal’s posts.
These awards come with rules and here is what Emily set up, with one slight modification by me:
- List seven things about me.
- Nominate seven bloggers (Emily recommends up to 15, but 7 seems appropriate!)
- Thank the person who recommended you.
Seven Things About Me

- My “day” job is operating telescopes at Kitt Peak National Observatory.

I’ll wrap up the post with one more “thank you” to Emily and Camgal for the award! Although I’m not sure I belong in a “sisterhood” (referring to one of the awards), I am honored to have received these awards and pleased to think of them as my sisters on the internet! Thank you!
