Sometimes, you just never know how your little messages of encouragement will touch others; people that you have only exchanged 140 characters with on Twitter (a social network) occasionally. I was pleasantly surprised by this blog award or recognition that I received by Annette of Musings.
The purpose of this blog award is to give it to someone who is showing gratitude or a good attitude for “if life hands you lemons, make lemonade” within their life or blog.
Although you may feel like no one is watching, listening, our reading what you have to say–wrong! There is always someone that you may impact, or perhaps you’ve been touched by. It’s always nice to acknowledge those whom you have been touche by in the social network.
I have decided to give this recognition to a few of my social network connections. A few of these individuals came to my aid when I was a ‘lost newbie’ on Twitter and a few are my most recent connections.
These people really inspire me with their mission. They walk the social media talk. They have blessed me with their kind tweets, messages, and encouraging websites or blog.
I am aware of the fact that a few of them are going through or have gone through their own share of lemons handed to them and turned them into lemonade and “making in a difference in the lives of those around them.”
I want to encourage you to learn more about each of these great people by visiting their link: (hint-follow them on twitter)

Wow, what an incredible honor to be listed in such an amazing group of twitter peeps! It never ceases to amaze me what people can do when they work together to make others better.

You are a great new friend and I am so thankful for your friendship!
Joy in the Journey,

Thank you so much! I am honored that you think of me this way, and want to let you know I consider you among my top Twitter friends as well. I’ve learned so much about passion, motivation, kindness, and courtesy from you — and, have been amazingly impressed by that daughter of yours. It’s no wonder she’s flourishing with her talents. You’re such a driven, encouraging person.
Thanks again. 
Thank you Duong! I’m very priviledged to make your list : )
You are such a truly lovely woman Duong! I remember when we first talked thru twittermoms and you were so lost. You have jumped on board with both feet. Your passion just ignites all around you. I am honored to be on your list and am blessed to call you my friend that surpasses twitter or a network. I look forward to the many ways God will keep us connected! I know He will! Blessings woman!
Noelle
thanks for the shout out.
Great idea to focus on others rather than trying to sell yourself. The more you give, the more good gets done and since the universe won’t stay out of balance, the more you will have to give.
