And The Award Goes To....ME!

I am very pleased and honored to have received this award from RA from Sagittiferously Yours. Those of you unfamiliar with this person may be asking, what does RA stand for? Though I can't be absolutely certain about this, and I know other bloggers have proffered other explanations for this, I think I'm correct in stating that the RA must stand for "Really Amazing."

I haven't been a follower of hers for very long, but I've been more than impressed with the fascinating stories and videos she posts. Her blog boasts an eclectic style encompassing essays on music, the arts, science, pop culture, history, humor, her own personal stories and ruminations and everything else in between!

Following her blog reminds me of tearing open a box of Cracker Jack as a kid to get to the prize inside. You never knew what you were going to get, but you could always be sure that it was well worth the time and trouble. I believe that blogs like hers, which have such a broad-based appeal, are very unique and a wonderful addition to the blogosphere.

If for some crazy reason you haven't been exposed to RA and her talented and imaginative mind, then by all means expose yourself to her here! She would love to see you! Please visit her blog and follow her because she too is well worth the time and trouble!
