I am glad you stopped by to see my awards. I was going
to put these on the pages for which they were awarded, 
but I thought it would be better to put them on a different 
page altogether. This way I can thank all of you who have 
given me these awards. To those who have thought that my 
site deserved these awards, I thank you from the bottom 
of my heart!
	
"It is my pleasure to present 
to you Wings' Award of Com-
passion for all the love and 
concern I see you have for
 the children. Your homepage 
reflects the compassion you 
have and I would be honored 
if you would accept this 
award from Wings' Special 
Place." 
** The tears of the 
compassionate are sweeter 
than dew-drops falling 
from roses on the bosom of spring.** Thank you so much Debra! (Awarded for my page on Child 
Abuse and Missing Children).
This was a surprise and is very special 
to me.  From Debra, "It is my pleasure
 to present to you my Kindness Award 
for the random act of kindness you 
showed toward Hilde Mari. Your 
kindness to her has inspired me and I 
would like for you to have this award." 
**Kindness in words creates confidence.  
Kindness in thinking creates 
profoundness. Kindness in giving creates 
love.**  Thank you Debra, for this act of 
kindness to me.  
(Hilde Mari helped me through a very rough time after eye 
surgery, building my confidence with lots of virtual hugs 
and telling me that everything would be all right.  I applied 
for a Kindness Award for Hildi for her kind act to me and
 received one in return. See what happens when you make a 
difference. Thank you Hildi Mari! Enjoy your award, too)!
Thank you so much Claudette! The award 
that is given without a formal request is
 the ones that means so much to me.  I 
know this was given from the heart.

and Missing Children).
Thank you again, Claudette! I know this, 
too, was given from the heart. (Awarded 
for my page on Endangered Species).
Thank you so much, Cathy, 
for this wonderful award. 
Cathy also bestowed another 
award upon me for my site
 that inlcudes all my own 
poetry.  Although I did apply 
for one of these awards, I 
never dreamed that Cathy 
would give me three of them. 
If you'd like one of her awards, click on the picture and apply
 for one. :))

Here is the second award I received 
from Cathy. I just can't say thank you 
enough, Cathy, for even thinking my site 
deserved your award. Visit Cathy's site
 today and see what other awards she
offers. Don't miss out! 
 Thank you, Nanny, for your
 kind words as follows: "Both 
of your sites were really
 beautiful. I would like for
 you to have my award for 
both of them. You are a
 wonderful poet and your life 
story really touched me". I 
will also put this up in my 
poetry site. Please find the
 time to visit Nanny's site and 
don't forget to sign her book. Again, thanks so much, Nanny!
