My friend Angela Artemis from "Powered By Intuition" has lovingly awarded me a "Beautiful Blogger" award. You can see the other amazing bloggers who received this award here: The Day Beauty Came to Visit. 

Angela is a clarivoyant and medium and also a financial salesperson with 25 years of experience. Angela states, "As an astrologer I’ve been casting charts since I was a teen – back before we had computer programs to calculate everything for you." How's that for experience?

Angela is a freelance writer interested in expanding consciousness, developing intuition and creating our reality. Her goal is to share information that opens minds.

One thing I know about my intuition is, it has never failed me. It will always lead me in the right direction to my "truth." When I don't listen I can immediately feel it in my gut. I'll also "know" the second I made the wrong decision.

If you want to expand your mind and claim your dreams contact Angela. She has been a wonderful, giving and very giving supportive friend. I'm grateful.

If you’re missing someone who’s made a transition book a telephone reading and reconnect to their love for you – which never dies. Click here.

The Beautiful Blogger Award requires you to tell reader 7 things about yourself.

1. I have guts and faith. It's been a good combination for me.

2. My children and grandchildren keep me hip. I didn't learn to text until they stopped answering my calls and listening to my voice messages.

3. I refuse to give up! If there is a way to do something, I will accomplish it.

4. I hated rap music until Byron Katie taught me not to judge it. I dropped my story about it and now enjoy listening to several rappers.

5. I love everyone. I see the world surrounded by red hearts before going to sleep and whisper blessings of peace and love for all. 

6. I'm not afraid to tell on myself. I can be demanding and controlling. The good news is I love to catch myself and will do anything to gain back my inner peace.

7. I have a loud laugh and a loud voice. A therapist once told me it's my ADHD. I think he was right but the other part is I was No. 6 of 10 children. I wanted to be heard. Still do!

8. I'd take a bullet for a family member or friend. They mean the world to me. (I also love to break rules so I added an extra)

The drum roll please…I'll now bestow the Beautiful Blogger award on five fabulous ladies:

Lori Franklin of Jane Be Nimble – Lori is a "writer, scientist, graphic designer/artist, athletics coach, nutritionist, blogger, tree hugger, do-gooder, and unapologetic bleeding heart in service to others." (In my opinion there's nothing she hasn't experienced or accomplished). I met Lori after she extended an invitation to sit on her virtual front porch and chat. The first thing you'll notice when you visit her blog is her humor and love of life. She's fun, funny and has made a big difference in my mine.

Sandra Lee of Always Well Within – Sandra writes about  "a unique blend of personal development, health and wellness, ecology, and simple wisdom to help you realize your best self and be part of creating a better world." Her articles are packed with research and challenge inviting us to live our best lives. 

I believe she is an advanced soul that challenges the heck out of me. I keep going back for more because she allows me to go at my own pace;)

Andrea DeBell of Brite-talk- Andrea's tag states, "Life served sunny side up." I'll take some of that! Brite-talk is a self-empowerment blog, a place for sharing how to live a happy, positive, passionate, peaceful life.

Andrea is an author, happiness expert, bliss consultant, blogger enthusiast, spiritual geek, personal growth fanatic, and lover of all things bright. And that's what you find on her blog! I met Andrea recently and we immediately formed a bond through laughter! She's a lot of fun!

Caroline Manrique of Whimsy Whispers – Caroline is a photographer whose work is unforgettable. Caroline is responsible for my header. I flew to California to do a photo shoot with her. She's so good I'm bringing my granddaughter to her for senior pictures. Caroline is one of the most sincere and authentic bloggers I know. In her own words, "This blog is based on my whimsical and ever changing nature. Yes, I like change!  I love to create, experiment and play. I am finally getting to know myself…and I am opening new doors creatively and spiritually. You could say that I am a soul explorer!" 

 

Courtney Carver of Be More With Less - Courtney's blog is about "simplifying your life and really living. Here, you can learn how to create a life with more savings and no debt, more health and less stress, and more you with less obligation.I had the opportunity to meet Courtney in person and can't figure out which is bigger her heart or her smile!

    Hi Tess you beautiful, wild woman!

    You ooze this award, you are a beautiful blogger and it shows through all you do and are. I love the imagery of red hearts surrounding the globe. I’m going to start doing that, too. I know what you mean about being loud, I’m #4 of four. I hear you, Tess, big time! :)

    And, can I just say, WOW? To be included in this company of goddess bloggers blows me away. Sandra, I love your blog and your wise words. I can tell you put a lot of work and research into your posts and I appreciate them. Thank you! Andrea, I recently found you and am delighted by your blog. You beam brightness and I thank you for your web presence. Caroline, oh my, oh my I have a confession to make right here and right now. I’ve been following your blog for almost two years now and have yet to leave a comment for you at your site. I’m sooo enamored by your work and your openness I never know what to say. I supposed I’m simply basking in your talent and gifts. Don’t ever stop what you’re doing, no matter what anyone says. You have a gift, Caroline. Big time! As soon as I boot Ms. MS off my back, I’m heading up there for some photos of yours truly — can you make me look as gorgeous as Tess? Courtney, I have a feeling we have a lot more in common than we would prefer. :P I have a friend who works for the Myelin Research Foundation, they’re a wonderful group of folks doing wonderful things. Thank you for what you’re doing at your blog for others. Shine on, lovely, shine on!

    Tess, this was so awesome, with a capital “A”. Can I give you all a group hug? Ready… here it comes ~~~> ((((hug))))

    Love to all,
    ~xo

    Caroline I’m so happy I surprised you! Someone needs to tell the world and I think I’ve been assigned. I get more compliments than you can imagine. A neighbor asked me on FB today if I had work done and is that why I haven’t called her! ROFLOL I told her you were my secret.

And I look forward to reading up and getting to know the other ladies you mentioned!

It’s so incredible to be included among them. And it’s great to learn more about you – hip, rap music lover that you are! I never doubted that you have faith and guts for a moment.

The one that I was so glad to see—I guess because it reminded me of myself—was “5. I love everyone. I see the world surrounded by red hearts before going to sleep and whisper blessings of peace and love for all.” Amen sister friend!!! Love it and you. And am loving your little book before bed. It really relaxes and puts anyone who reads it in a place of love. Bless you dear soul!! Roby

    I LOVE your image of loving everyone and the red hearts! I also can relate to the “being heard”. I was number seven (youngest) in my family!

    My kids have kept me hip too….hopefully, God willing, I will have grandkids doing the same when I start to lose my coolness:)

    COngratulations on your well-deserved award!
