Go raibh míle maith agat is Irish for Many Thanks. In fact it literally means “may you have a thousand good (things)” and today I am offering this gratitude to Amy at Radical Amazement who has very kindly offered me the Liebster Blog Award.
Amy’s is a quite wonderful blog, full of what she herself calls Miscellaneous Musings. As I only found it recently, I haven’t had a chance to read it all but I’ve loved all I did read – so go on – have a look – I think you’ll like it.
I don’t know anything about blogging really (or much else probably) so I hope I do this correctly!
The Liebster Award appears to be somewhat mysterious (or at least mysterious insofar as Google and I cannot find its provenance) but it also appears to exist as a means of encouragement.
It’s intention seems to be to create more and more and more connections between people – which is a wonderful – and wondrous – thing. Acceptance of the award requires that the recipient pass it on to five other bloggers and, cliched as this is as a statement, it is truly very hard to choose just five blogs.
So, I decided to use Amy’s guidelines –
I purposely chose blogs that have not (to my knowledge) received a recognition of this sort. To the best of my knowledge, these blogs have fewer than 200 followers, but that bit of information was not always evident. Remembering that liebster can mean favorite, these are blogs that I look forward to reading when a notice from them appears in my inbox.

So –
Here are the guidelines associated with the Liebster Award:
1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
Thank you, Amy – how kind you are, I am honoured and actually encouraged by your kindness, which means the award is having the desired effect, I suppose. I’d highly recommend that everybody read Amy’s blog – Radical Amazement – you won’t be disappointed.
2. Pass the award along to five other bloggers who have less than 200 followers. Let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
OK – I will do this – promise.
3. Post the award on your blog.
OK – I will also do this.
Alright now for the really hard part – these are the blogs to whom I’d like to offer the Liebster Award. Each one is different but each one is well worth a good look as each has a lot to contribute to the well-being of humanity. (The descriptions are in their own words, by the way)
This site is an attempt to help you creatively re-frame how you handle conflict hopefully to get better results and improve the relations with those you regularly have conflict with…This blog is dedicated to helping you in that process, as well as throwing light on all aspects of the world’s conflicts current and historical.
This is a positive kismet, motivational blog offering tips, advice, interviews, social media, ruminations as well as creative, spiritual, inspirational insights on people, places, and the events that shape our lives. My wish is that this site will welcome, inform, and encourage you to connect and contribute to the ever growing online community and conversations.
Along the way, I became convinced that it was possible with the right approach, to not only determine how it is that we attain consciousness, but also to formulate ideas that might lead to a greater understanding of the true nature of our experiential awareness.
The overall aim of the blog is to examine parenting and child rearing from a spiritual perspective, in a practical way. But this is not a definitve study by any means, and I would welcome dialogue, comments and contributions from others.
In this blog, I post a daily “positive thought” from my huge collection of quotes, five days a week. Sometimes it just takes one nice thought to completely change the course of your day. Subscribe, and you’ll see what I mean.
Congratulations on your award and thank you for adding my blog to your mentions! As you know, I’ve fallen behind on commenting and I’m slowing working my way through yours and many other blogs… Please bear with me as I try to complete that task.
Blessings,
Elizabeth

Wow! Thanks so much, Patricia! You put a big fat sloppy grin on my face. 😀
From the first, I’ve enjoyed the thought provoking nature of your blog, as eclectic and delicious as a box of assorted chocolate. It keeps me coming back for more because I never know just what I’m going to bite into when I swing by. 😀
On with the dance!
Well deserved, Nancy!

This is great, Trisha! Thanks! I subscribed to three of the blogs you have on your page today. I admit to not traveling far outside my art circle in the blogosphere and this absolutely encourages me to do it more. I hope you’ll check out the blogs I passed it on to. You may find something there you like. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks Beth – I’ll have a look.

Congratulations!
It was nice of you to create a sub-category.
Thanks – and well deserved.
You are very generous to include me on this list of amazing blogs. I’m not sure I actually stack up very well compared to your other choices, but I am delighted that you feel my work warrants attention, and I am very grateful for your kindness in acknowledging my blog.
Yours would certainly be on MY list of blogs that deserve an award like this, but there are so many great writers here on WordPress.com and selecting just five to recommend should be considered mostly as a suggestion to others to visit their fellow writers, and to support them with our attention as you have done.
Thanks so much, Trish…….John H.

Thanks, John – but you do deserve it!
Creatingrep, congratulations. I did mark to follow the blogster who nominated you. However, I am not following essay blogs for the most part, at this time. I am so involved with exchanges with other poets (some artists and musicians) that I find I must place some limits on my urges to chat with EVERYONE! I do depend upon, and treasure, your blog. I appreciate your explanations as to why you nominated these other five blogs. It helps one to know what would be most helpful to look at any given time. I am saving the email on this post in my wordpress folder for MUCH future reference.
Sounds like a plan, granbee!
