Hey Card Lady Show Blog Nominated for Kreativ Blogger Award

Wow, wow, wow! Thank you Pat Weber for such an incredible honor! You have no idea how very much I appreciate this. Pat Weber, known as the Business Sales Coach for introverts is the ultimate guide and coach for anyone. Although she bills herself as the one to help you rev up your sales if you're shy or introverted...I don't fall in that category but she nudges me along all the time.

Now as per Pat's instructions as a nominee I have some responsibilities I need to fulfill in accepting this award and this is important information I am required to share with those I nominate:

• Thank the person who has given you the award
• Copy the logo and place it on your blog - See in the corner up to the right;
• Link to the person who has nominated you for the award - that’s

Pat Weber, Business Sales Coach for the Introverts

• Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting. That's a challenge - I'm inclined to have find a lot of things interesting, others not so much, but here's my pick.
  

1. I was an all star athlete when I was in high school – volleyball and basketball.
2. I’d rather be outside than inside – except hanging out in blizzards is definitely not my thing.
3. I spent my summer when I was 31 going from the secretarial world to being a carpenter’s assistant for the Army Corps. And I LOVED it!
4. I’ve published 2 magazines, one creation still thriving after 20 years.
5. I loved living in Virginia – first in McGaffeysville and then in Williamsburg where I sold time share and met some wonderful people! And I still miss it.
6. But I moved to be with grandchildren, seems like yesterday, but it’s been 15 years, married a local ‘boy’ 10 years ago and building a home…guess I’m staying.
7. I love to make people laugh and feel most at home in front of an audience – whoops, maybe a lot people already know that about me, especially if they’ve seen my blog!

• Nominate 7 other “Kreativ Bloggers”, and post links to their blogs -
  
  Here are my nominees:

1. Pat Weber http://www.patricia-weber.com is the blogger extraordinaire and I have to nominate her again. No one blogs in quite the exquisite style that Pat does. She continues to be a wealth of knowldege and always amazes me with the fabulous wisdom she continually and generously shares. She inspires me with her energy and her non-stop advise for guiding people to their ultimate potential. She has quite the intuitive nature that makes her extraordinary as a coach.

2. Suzann Rye, www.suzannrye.com introduced herself to me through a publishing social network and asked to joint venture with me to promote our upcoming books. I had no clue what an exciting adventure I was tapping into when I joined Suzann for her ride! If you want to enhance your life, personally and professionally. Suzann will show how to make your voice the best calling card you have in your arsenal for life’s success. She and I have yet to meet since she’s in Germany, but she’s got a smile that will knock your socks off and a voice of an angel!

3. Val Slastnikov, www.digitizergroup.wordpress.com Val is a true gem in my life. We met online several years ago and he has been an inspiration to me and become an incredible mentor and friend over the years. He will help you in so many ways. Years ago we were in touch on a daily basis and I followed everything he did and I learned so much. We ended up going in separate business directions, but still he is always keeping me in the loop of what I need to know to build my business and has introduced me to others over the years and is always there when I need him.

4. Axel Meierhoefer www.ecoconsciouspioneers.com I met this outstanding leader and mentor through a Face Book Group called “Social Traffic”. Since I am a nature lover, he and I connected very quickly as we dedicated our social networking to promoting "Earth Day". His publication on social networking and his inspirational books are fantastic. He continues his dedication to saving our earth and I have joined him once again in another social group to further help one another. His is a very special and unique blog and I know you will enjoy his insight.

5. Ronald Earl Wilsher http://ronaldwilsher.blogspot.com/ Val introduced me to the Morgan James Publishing site where I met this fine gentleman. Ronald is unique and fun loving and always makes me smile. He’s also the only one that requested my free report off my personal site! So, of course, he’s my hero. When you visit his blog you will see he is dedicated to showing people that ‘happy’ is what will make your world go around.. He’s a man after my own heart with his loving approach to helping others and his blog is always enlightening.

6. Wichita Independent Business Association http://wichitabusiness.wordpress.com/ This blog is very business oriented, but I love the fact they are embracing the Social Media. This organization is dear to my heart and I try my best to contribute back, so it’s a given that they be included in this nomination. Karen Fillenworth is the one behind this creation – you go, Karen!

7. Andrea Conway, www.andreaconway.com I think Pat introduced me to Andrea. Her blog is fascinating to me and the guests she attracts are true leaders in the Law of Attraction success. I am a regular participant on her tele-seminars and also own one of her law of attraction interview CD’s series. I truly enjoy her matter of fact style of letting you know you can do anything you want. She keeps me on my toes.

• Send the nominees a message to let them know they have been nominated - and as I complete this post I will be doing just that!

Again, I am flabbergasted and so thrilled Pat nominated me for this "Kreativ Blog Award" such an honor. I hope you enjoy these favorites of mine and that you find incredible value connecting with my nominees. I have learned so much from all of them. Pat's blog is such a wonderful professional presentation as well as all of those I have chosen. I worked really hard on this presentation, but somehow the font option disappeared on me...these little blog gremlins just won't leave me alone! Funny looking as it is, I hope you'll stay tuned. And please send more 'creators' of blogs to us all and let's do like Pat says and keep 'paying it forward'.

Happy Birthday Celebrations!
