This from Munir at Focus: "I offer this "Award" to some awesome people. Every one is good in their own way. Some of us write what people like to read, some of us write about celebs and national sports and what is going on in the political world, but some people are so open that I sometimes wonder as to why they are not journalists? Or are they?"
Goodness, no, I'm not a journalist by any stretch of the imagination, although at one time when I had taken a journalism class from Mr. Wilkerson in high school, I thought about it.
However, I do write from the heart. It's the only way I know how to express the thoughts and feelings inside my head which is why I suppose my blog is entitled 'My Thoughtful Spot'.
As far as the open-ness I convey, what do I have to hide? Each circumstance and each encounter I've incurred in my life may be able to help another human and isn't that why we are here on this earth? To help our fellow man?
So I offer the raw emotions. I give candid accounts of my life. I present what is in my heart and soul and may it inspire another to look at their world in a different light or perhaps it offers hope...that is my prayer~
...and thanks to Munir for this gift!

Congratulations!
When I was younger, I wanted to hide all my "flaws" and short-comings, but I think maturity teaches us that none of us is perfect or has the perfect life, that we're all "flawed" in our own ways.
Now, like you, I think what's to hide? Life is messy, can be painful, frustrating, absurd, joy-full...might as well let it all hang out and share the human experience in its full awful glory.

oh so sweet and well-deserved. you offer your heart and soul on a platter sometimes, dearie.
you are deserving
as I've mentioned before your candid writing always makes me feel better or not alone or inspired
Don't ever doubt that you aren't deserving--As one of your followers, I think you are!!!!
I enjoy your blog and love how you write because you articulate them so well, and I'm able to see those same things in myself at times!
Congratulations! I enjoy you and your blog.
Congratulations Tracy! I know that is why I come to read you; always honest and right on the mark. I enjoy your little corner.

You are very deserving. I enjoy your blog and the honesty portrayed in your posts. Keep on going!
I admire your candor. I sometimes don't write when I'm in a bad spot or in transition. Something about wanting to appear as though I have it all together. What a delusional idea!
As other comments before me have stated "Keep On ~~Keeping On~Being Real~A very refreshing read"
~~HUGS~~

Your blogs always has a human touch. Also it is free of any reservations and still every one (I know I do) who reads it feels that it is close to home.

I love your authenticity. And it is only through demonstrating our authentic selves that we can grow and learn...I just made that up.
I do like you. I come here, I know what I'm getting, and I like what I get.
I think you have miss judged yourself. I find your writing skills very good. At least, you write from your heart and mean what you say. I am not very good at it either. I just keep blogging anyway.
Congratulations on your award Tracy! You may not have a 'journalist' degree ~ but when you write from the heart, you can never go wrong!!
Beautiful!
