Compassionate Blog Award

Hi Everyone,
I am so honored to be the 10th recipient of the Compassionate Blog Award. When Maitri wrote me the other night to tell me I was moved to tears. I am grateful to be a part of this wonderful community of bloggers who write on a daily basis, not for monetary value, but to inspire humankind and bring hope to all that read our blogs. If that is what you do please click on the link below and join our community to help us to grow and reach everyone who needs a kind word, some hope and inspiration. Thank you for starting this community Maitri and thank you again for the recognition. This is why I started this blog, to inspire others and it is has been returned to me in so many ways, by so many people that I have had the honor of crossing their paths.
Take Care,
Janet :)

Dear Friends,
I have been doing my 300 drops a day on entrecard and some are very random as I try to drop back on everyone who drops on me but sometimes they are not blogs that fit with my philosophies so I thought, "Why not start my own Mr. Linky List to gather together in one place all of the wonderful blogs that are dedicated to Compassionate Living. This may take many shapes and forms. Maybe you are an "artist with heart." Perhaps you are dedicated to animal welfare, or have a cause that you support that is rooted in compassion and loving-kindness. There are so many possibilities, the spectrum is wide and as many colors of the rainbow.

I am not looking for SEO blogs, or blogs that are nothing but ads, or who have a high ad content and almost no real heartfelt blog posts for the simple joy of connection with others. It is in this spirit that I am creating this list so that I can drop on you and support blogs that I really believe in. In addition to this I am designing a "Compassionate Living Blog Award" and every Sunday I will review the blogs that have signed up so far and on Sundays I will put their widget up as high as possible in the sidebar in a little section called, "Compassionate Living Blog Of The Week." A free week of advertising as a thank you for your kind and gentle efforts in the world.

IN ADDITION TO THIS: I will be creating, this week, a new page on my newly designed nine year old website, Dragonfly Cottage, that will house, forever after (as long as the blogs are live), all of the widgets of all of the winners of the awards.

My heartfelt thanks to one and all. I hope you will join soon, and you must leave a comment after your link goes up. That's the way the Mr. Linky links work! I will be keeping a close eye on the list and any inappropriate links will be removed.

Maitri
