Thank you for your very kind words, in wordpress you can write about anything and everything you want! the folks here are incredible and have the passion to both read and write!
you have an amazing blog by the way, i really enjoy reading about the latest advancements in fighter jets since it was my childhood dream to fly in them when i was a child. Being a parent now and at my age, i’ll have to pass that chance but! it’ll always spark my interest 
good luck in everything!

What an absolutely lovely blog! Gorgeous photography – you’ve said you don’t have an SLR, but I must tell you I find the process of “traditional” photography is so focused, slower – requires so much patience, it seems very in keeping with your approach to life and growth – enjoying the journey, as it were.
Thanks so much for stopping by and liking my post – I really enjoyed learning about you!

Hi Aliza, thank you so much for stopping by and your kind words! I have to admit, I do sometimes miss the days before the DSLR’s came out and photography took time and constant adjustments. So much more personal touch, so until I get my DSLR I guess it’s iPhone 4 camera and editing lol!
Hope to see you again, Have a great day ahead!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and looking around
I like your story…I grew up listening to Julio Iglesias too because my parents listened to him all the time…so I in turn love Enrique as well. I grew up in Washington and visited Vancouver often when I was going to Western Washington University, so I am loving your photos as they remind me of earlier times. 
Your blog intrigues me and I look forward to seeing more. Have a fantastic rest of your week.

Hi Ninali, Thank you so much for visiting and following my blog. I too grew up listening to Julio Iglesias when I lived in Chile, now there was someone who had passion for music and that inspired a lot of my writings. Enrique really did an incredible job of following his father’s footsteps huh?

Andy, I can’t find your e-mail address, so I have to ask in the “comment” section.
Somewhere i read something about Japanese or Chinese poetry, but I can’t find it now. I think it was on your blog which I love. This type of poetry is a very short poet of I think 3 lines of only 3 or 5 words per line, but touching on some very deep aspect of life. If you know anything about it, or have indeed posted something on your blog, please inform me. My e-mail address is bibledifferences@gmail.com Thank you.
God bless,

Here are the directions for accepting the award:
Thank you for the VERY INSPIRING BLOG AWARD

Gratitude:
Thank you, TersiaBurger@ http://tersiaburger.com for your nomination on April 14, 2013. But I must confess, YOU are the one who should receive it! The love, courage, and determination to BE with your daughter through all that she has suffered since her birth, is beyond remarkable! You carried your daughter through life…you never abandoned her…you gave her your strength! You are an incredible, amazing woman! And, now you are bravely facing your grief. Your courage is heroic!
7 Things about myself:
1. I love to laugh.
2. I cherish the people I meet and who allow me into their lives.
3. I procrastinate at times…lol…I get involved in writing or reading and do not get the dishes washed! What is procrastination? Avoidance of the inevitable? Power? Game playing? Rebellion? LOL
4. I love to play with duplo legos and build things!
5. I came from a family of eleven siblings.
6. I feel great gratitude to both my Mom & Dad, who taught me to be generous towards others and to be helpful and polite, to exercise sensitivity and compassion. to read, to think, and to persevere.
7. In the past, I had great difficult believing in myself…I fought depression for a long time…but I made it…and I see how important it is to believe in oneself, to love oneself, and then one can love others so much better! And I love being in love!
My 15 Nominations are:
1. Tersia Burger http://tersiaburger.com Tersia, you are a courageous woman to have put out your thoughts and very personal struggles there for all of us to read and feel with you! In so doing, you demonstrate to us that it is okay to ask others for help…you relates to us what it is really like to be human…to be vulnerable…to suffer…and to love. Your blog is the epitome of inspiration and courage! Thank you, Tersia!
