A Downpour of Love

It’s been awhile since I checked incoming links to Modern Musings and when I did I was awed and humbled by a downpour of love and accolades that have been collecting dust.

So since this is Valentine’s Day, I will display with pride my honors and spread the love far and wide.

I have linked award pics to their original creator.

Vanessa Byers author of Vanessa: Unplugged has named Modern Musings as one of her ten favorite blogs in a meme named Blogging it Forward. Vanessa is one of my must reads as she always expands my knowledge and makes me smile so I must include her in my ten favorite blog list.

1. Vanessa: Unplugged
   
2. Electronic Village, Wayne or da Villager continues to build the village where all opinions are weighed under the baboob tree and is an awesome supporter of my humble attempts here. He also named me as one of his favorite bloggers in an interview conducted by the lovely aforementioned Vanessa.
3. Purple Zoe, author of the Ultraviolent Underground, is such a creative harborer of progressive change. Tackling the genocide in Darfur, spreading spirituality through group meditation, writing for Purple magazine and sharing upcoming independent musicians and poets is just a short dose of what to expect from this inspiring, glorious, creative goddess.
4. David Swanson writes via several outlets and is a champion of progressive change and is a maverick of the impeachment movement.
5. Sindoo, author of Flower Girl’s Rural India and continues to educate me on the variety of Indian culture using great photographs to capture the rasa or essence of the expressions of India. Back when I was finding my voice and going by the moniker of taureandevi, she named me just devi and this is how she continues to address me. My souped up egotistical streak took my sun sign and devi the Hindi word for goddess for this moniker and it just touches me so deeply that she refers to me as a goddess. I am so unworthy.
6. Doug Basham and Lydia Cornell are hosts of Las Vegas’ only Progressive talk show which I discovered by following the mantra think globally act locally. Until I started to look for like minded Las Vegans I wrongly assumed I was the sole radical. I made my very first call to a radio talk show and have gotten comfy dialing in with my two cents. When I can’t listen live they offer audio archives and I offer you three shows for your listening pleasure. These shows aren’t random but self love {this are the shows that I called in to}, self love is always good;}. Topic depleted uranium and Kucinich, Topic: Numerology, Topic: The South Carolina Debate.
7. Betsy Angert, author of Bethink.org is not only a great blogger but an equally great friend. We have spoken on the phone dishing the dirt on the Kucinich campaign, writing, the liberal vs progressive label, and so much more. She is one of my muses and a great read.
8. Marde, author of Seev’s Place: Rants from the Great State of Maine writes of politics, metaphysics and life. Marde is definitely a wise elder of the liberal community and a great friend at that.
9. Dirkstar, author of Eddie, are you kidding? writes with such a seasoned confidence of opine and is a prime example that even when personal politics don’t mix they don’t have to smash relationships. Dirk holds nothing back and I deeply respect him for that.
10. Last but not least, I daily frequent Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now!. She continues to supply a voice to the mainstream media’s muted activists, provides in depth reporting on national and international areas of great concern, not covered anywhere else and employs the most diverse group of staffers I have ever seen. I mandate a daily dose of Democracy Now available in a wide variety of mediums for your convenience.

Marde so graciously passed on the Nice Matters Award from Barbara another great friend, author of Home in France. Nice does matter especially when speaking on topics such as politics and religion and I would like to pass this award to:

1. Johnny Yen, author of Here comes Johnny Yen again
2. Travis, author of Trav’s Thoughts
3. Monica, author of Ramblings of a Crazy
4. Barbara, author of Home in France, she deserves to get this award again, as she is nice incarnate.
5. Joy, author of Musings in the Night
