It’s sanni-licious

MaryT has has very, very kindly passed the Wisdom Award on to me. I am indeed flattered.

The Chinese character for “wisdom” (Chih) is a complex one with a simple message. It means the knowledge that spreads and enlightens like the sun’s rays, benefiting the world at large.Chih is one of the 5 Confucian virtues: li (propriety), chih (wisdom), jen (human-heartedness), i (righteousness), and hsin (sincerity). Sometimes the character means awareness.

I am deeply honored. The following bloggers are smart, insightful, kind, and wise. They spread light across the blogosphere:

Today I´m finally allowed to introducve the “disappeared blog“:
You might also enjoy Sanni´s Project 365 - my newest platform. I´m going to post a picture a day taken on that day. This photo documentation of my life was started on January 1st 2008, inspired by my wonderful friend Desert Songbird´s blog Icebox 365 - she´s done an awesome job during the last year and I was more than happy when I saw she´ll continue in 2008. Visit and see! Thank you, DS for inspiring me.

I´d love to see you over at Sanni´s Project 365 - especially because there will be up something new on a daily basis. See, the first 18 posts are already up and I hope you all will stop by someday.*grin* I know I´m guilty of neglecting my main blog every now and then. I promise to be a better girl… soon =)

Note to self: Be a better blogger, be a better blogger, be a BETTER blogger…

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: Look everyone! Now that I’m a teacher I’ve sewn patches on my elbows.
Marge: Homer that’s supposed to be leather patches on a tweed jacket, not the other way around. You’ve ruined a perfectly good jacket.
Homer: Incorrect, Marge. Two perfectly good jackets!

recent coffee breaks: love and hate

When Linda of {this & that} joined our Pimp Your Blog Community some weeks ago I told her how much I love her pretty avatar. A bit later I loaded her template up and installed the widgets and gadgets. There was also a ticker to install in the footer-section. More precisely: a birthday ticker. A 60th birthday ticker. I still can´t believe it - but this beautiful lady turns 60 today! Now hop over and wish Linda a very very Happy Birthday!

Linda - I´d love to give you the matching CC Sunshade Blogset as a little birthday present. Just click on the picture above to see what this one can do for you. Please email me how you want it to be customized (daily MEMEs, etc.). I´ll also set it up for you, if you like. Same procedure as last time =). Happy, happy Birthday! Keep on rocking the Blogosphere! ♥
