On Winning
Thank you all so much for reading / commenting / sharing / and voting! Because of your support, I won the 2010 Black Weblog Award for Best New Blog by both the Popular Vote and the Judges Vote! This means I get to call myself an “award-winning blogger” AND I get to go to the Blogging While Brown Conference in L.A. next July!
I won’t lie and say those aren’t great things about winning. These are wonderful things. But this right here? This is what it’s all about:
Dear District Diva,
this .. right here … encouraged me. I have tears in my eyes because I’m going through a similar situation. I’m a senior in college, with one major on paper, another i’m taking classes for, and in my mind i’m undecided! [yes – it’s really as complicated as it sounds!] i have several roads i can take, one kind of clear cut and the others confusing and unknown! the two things i hate/am afraid of the most! and i’m afraid mainly because… what if i make the wrong decision & ruin my life?! but I can’t ruin my life is GOD is at the wheel!! i’ve been wavering back and forth between being comfortable stepping out on that limb and staying close to my comfort zone … but i know that’s just not me!
I really can’t thank you enough for this. this is my first time reading your blog [thanks to the black weblogs – congrats btw!] & I will be reading regularly!
Congrats on your new position. hope we can read about it soon
Maybe she would’ve come across the blog some other way; God has a way of working things out like that. But in any event, the blog awards led her to a post and a message that God had for her. What else is there?
I thank God for Maurice Cherry for starting the Black Weblog Awards to honor Black bloggers who may not have been recognized otherwise; I thank God for Cristine and everyone who reads because I beg them to or because they accidentally happened upon the site; and I thank God for His message and that even I, in my sullied, human mess, can never screw His message up.
God be praised always.
Congrats girl! Even though you beat me 😛
*praise dances* 🙂
Yaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!
