Shine On and Reality Award

The very talented and insightful Uzoma has nominated my blog, shawnrjones12 for the Shine On and Reality Blog Awards.  I am especially honored to get this nomination from Uzoma because I greatly admire his work. He has mastered both concision and rhythm in his writing.  He has a vast vocabulary, yet he also manages to weave together common words, giving them more meaning than they would have standing alone.  His similes and metaphors are symphonically placed on the page like notes of an alluring song.  Please stop by his page http://85degrees.wordpress.com/ and enjoy the music. Uzoma, thank you so much for nominating me.  I have only been blogging for two weeks, and your encouragement has been invaluable!  Blessings to you!

THE RULES:

1. Show appreciation of the blogger who nominated you and link back to them in your post
2. Add the award logo to your blog
3. Share 7 things about yourself
