“Encouraging Thunder!”

encoraging

I have been nominated for the Encouraging Thunder Award by itsmine over at negativethinkerr.wordpress.com.  Thanks my friend!

Stroll on over and check him out…

…in the meantime and in between time here are the rules attached to this award:

-thank the person who nominated you

-post the logo in your blog

-create a post in which you tell others why you blog

-spread the love by designating other bloggers as

Encouraging Thunder recipients

Why I blog?

Runaway Nuns and Leprechauns, as the name indicates, is not a single person blog. However, as the primary writer/post-er/blogger, I will answer this question based on my own personal thoughts and feelings…

I blog because I enjoy it. It provides an open line of communication with some of the most awesome and inspiring people on the internet. I can get everything from new recipes to information on the latest and greatest pet shampoo. Bloggers are extremely helpful, gracious and giving. I find it very exciting to open my gmail and see that I have well over 50 new emails-

…and of course I love meeting new folks and helping others meet new folks.

All of that being said— I would like to nominate the following bloggers as Encouraging Thunder recipients:

awayfromthenoise.com

flimsysoul.com and
