Thank you to author Darla M. Sands for awarding me The Versatile Blogger award.  It’s much appreciated, Darla!

I ‘met’ Darla through a mutual writing community and she joined my online writing forum.  Over the last couple years, we’ve become friends and supported each other through the trials and successes inherent in the writing life.  I got to see her blossom from a novice blogger with one blog to the proud author of two individual blogs and as a contributing author to several others.  Her steady output and inventive writing style are continuous sources of inspiration to me, as is her support and upbeat personality.  Thank you!
