Thank you for accepting the award! It took me two weeks to do what was asked. So…time is of no importance…LOL. I realized after receiving the award myself what a boost it gave to me and my efforts as a writer! I think we really help each other when accepting the award and paying it forward! It is such a wonderful experience! Your courage is so wonderful to feel and read! I admired your strength to leave the Ashram after they refused food to the stranger. You are so incredibly strong!

The Sunshine award could not have gone to a better person. You have such a wonderful way of bringing Light to so many people -by bringing them the truth about who you are, and what you believe. Keep writing and shining your Light for all to see!

Thank you, Ms Betty! It is always nice to hear from you! Your words are kind to me. Likewise, you bring LIGHT to those around you — and I do hope you bring more of your poetry to the feast of words, so very soon! I love your stories and your poems that you have personally shared with me– they are too good to keep hidden in the confines of a little box on the computer. Thank you again!
