Reach out and “Touch” a blogcasa.

Peace all.
 
For no particular reason I have not “done” blog awards in a long time.  I know  they’re useful for connecting folks to new blogcasas that they might not otherwise discover. They can be an interesting form of networking in blogland.  I have appreciated each one that has come my way while blogging.  I just often get caught up in using my blog time tossing out posts about other things that have caught my attention. So this is an effort to not forget about two recent awards from Jingle and eva626.  Thanks to both of you for your kind  words and thoughtfulness.  In return I thought I’d create my own award visual using one of my energyscapes, “Touch,” for whomever decides to accept and post an award visual at their blogcasa.  Hey, an artist is always on the prowl for exposure! LOL. So, if you see “Touch” making its way around blogland beyond here to new blogcasas that would be a way of tracing how far our connections have traveled.  I hope others will reach out and touch others with “Touch.”
 

"Touch" by Eva Wojcik

I ought to share 7 things about moi:

I adore sweet potatoes fried in olive oil then drizzled with honey and dashed with sea salt.

I enjoy driving old state and county roads rather than interstate highways.

I wish my car was a horse.

Wisteria is one of my favorite flowering plants.

I do not like wearing shoes.

Watching “wire in the blood” starring Robson Green on hulu is one of my vices.

I covet a large loom for weaving.

    Oh, Eva … I so look forward to exploring some of these blogs! Thank you. Sorry I haven’t been around in a while – life has been so hectic, this year. I’ll tell you privately of my trials and triumphs – many of both. Hugs from the coastal mountains!

    • June 5, 2011 at 12:31 am

      Well, Big Sur Kate—I expect a FULL report–private or public–asap! Before your mountaintop is thunderstruck! Hey, you got any space up there for someone who NEEDS to get away from the midwest malarias? Hmm?

    “Reach out and touch ” reminded me of a similar theme in my Senior year in Nursing. It brings about different people with a common goal of touching the lives of others through their works. You have a great idea and I know that it will bring a lot of inspiration to the other bloggers. Thank you for sharing and thanks for commenting back.- Mr. B
