The “Champions Award’ was awarded to me by Debby at dgkayewriter.com. Although I tend to be award free I simply could not ignore Debby’s request, especially since the Champions Award is a way of saying thank you to those readers and writers who go the extra mile in support of others. Debby has done so much for me and this is my small way of saying THANK YOU. Debby, I am both touched and grateful for your friendship and support.
I have not only always enjoyed reading her books but always find treasures in her blog. If you haven’t yet visited her blog you’re in for a pleasant adventure.
The Champions Award asks that I select at least five other champions. This was very difficult for me to do as there are so many authors, writers and bloggers who deserve this award. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge how thankful and grateful I am to ALL OF YOU for your many visits and comments to my blog.
Here are my five top bloggers to follow in 2016:
Janet – jcrhumming.wordpress.com
Ellie – newcreationsministries.wordpress.com
Jet – jeteliot.wordpress.com
Robin – witlessdatingafterfifty.wordpress.com
Shehanne – shehannemoore.wordpress.com
Recipients, if you choose to accept and wish to propagate the CHAMPIONS AWARDS, please do the following:
1.Post this Award Sticker on your blog, with the hashtag #CHAMPIONSAWARDS

Hi Carol. I know you’re award-free, and I always have intentions to remain award-free, but like you, I felt the need to participate on this one. In fact, Hugh Roberts wrote an interesting post the other day about being award-free, but sometimes breaking your own rules.
Thank you for your lovely intro here about me, and thanks for participating. And I know how hard it is to choose 5 only. I already follow my girls Shey and Ellie, I will check out these other blogs too.
🙂 ❤

Congratulations for your winning this from Debby. I read her posts and I thought I featured her on my shout out to fellow bloggers who are authors.
Thank you so very much, Carol. I did not realize that you had posted this. It says I follow you and hope that your posts come in. Anyway, this is an awesome honor and thank you so very much! Carol, I may pass this out to the men who are awesome on my blog. Even when I go all “girly” on them. Of course, I will include you! ♡ Blessings sent your way, Carol.
