The Homeschool at Mingo's Corner
Sep. 24, 2007
And the winner is....

...me?  For an award?  So unexpected!

I've been awarded the "Blogger Reflection Award" by Kris at CM Living Science.  Wow!  Thanks, Kris! 

The award was started by Jocelyn Dixon, a fellow Hoosier and blogger. 

The intent is to "pay it forward."  Therefore, here are my nominees for the Blogger Reflection Award:

Donna Conner's Homeschooling Only One - Donna's blog, book, and especially her forum are a huge inspiration to many people.  Her life experiences, and the wisdom and courage she has to share these with so many people, are truly an inspiration.  

Honeybee - Lots of practical insight and reflective thoughts on parenting, homeschooling, and life in general.  Somehow, I feel more relaxed after visiting the "hive." 

SheilaG - Sheila's perspective on life is a lot like mine - quirky, satirical, but usually downright honest.  She writes a lot better than I do, though!

These last two awards go in the "true spirit" in which the creator of it intended - to not give it to "just anyone" but someone whose blog has made a difference for you in some way.

Stephanie at Throwing Marshmallows - This blog wins hands-down as the most thought-provoking blog I've encountered in a while - at least from a personal standpoint.  Her observations regarding learning styles gave me a huge leap of understanding, for which I am eternally grateful. 

Finally, a new blog - PreK Human Rights Education by Jessica - This is a new blog, but one with a heart.  While the concept may not apply to everyone in their homeschool journey, the resources are a terrific springboard to further discussion on this important topic.  It truly made me think about my own beliefs and why I hold them, even if I ultimately come to a different conclusion. 

Another meme come and gone....

Mingo, Thank you. As a newbie to the world of blogging, I was unaware of such an award...knowing what I know about your struggle to understand my human rights education blog, the fact that you've bestowed your nomination on me is extraordinarily humbling. Thank you for the nod, perhaps we'll meet up again one day in the world-wide web. ~Jessica
