This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

Creative Blog Award

            I know I said a while back that I wasn't going to be doing the blog award thing, but I did say that I would try to acknowledge them when I could.  This post has been sitting here since April, when I was busy with the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge.    For the Christmas lull period while I'm on vacation I thought I'd preschedule this post of award acknowledgement.

           And speaking of Blogging from A to Z, if you aren't following the official Blogging from A to Z Blog I hope you will check it out.   Right now we are in the middle of a series of posts by past participants of the Challenge.  You won't want to miss any special announcements about the Challenge so I encourage you to follow and check in every now and then.  Blogging from A to Z sign-ups begin on January 30, 2012.

And Now For Some Awards:


              Creative Blog Award

           During the April A to Z Challenge, one of my event co-hosts, Jeffrey Beesler, passed the Creative Blog Award to me.  I wanted to thank Jeffrey for this gesture and the kind words that accompanied it.







            Another award from April came to me from Deidra Eden-Coppel at A Storybook World.     I don't recall what the award was but I noted it in this post I started months ago.  I think it had something to do with best Science Fiction blog or something like that.   Sorry Deidra.  But I still say thanks.




         Then there was this Jiminy Cricket commenting award from Jenny Pearson at The Pearson Report.   Thanks Jenny-- I try to leave as many decent comments as I can, but I'm not always so good keeping up with emails and such when I get inundated.  At least I saved the email she sent me so I could acknowledge this award.






I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

    Congrats on all the awards. If they were actual trophies, you'd need a new closet by now!

    I think the jiminy cricket award is the best. Somehow I think of you (however you want to take that in the most positive light!). And I love that photo from Wikipedia. It shimmers right off the computer screen!!

    I see in an above comment that you're enjoying family visiting right now. My daughter and I REALLY enjoyed being with my other three children and all the grandchildren yesterday also. Families are IT.

    Have a MOST wonderful last week of the Old Year.

    Interesting to learn about your naming journey. I'm going to go by my initials, partly to disguise my gender in the male-dominated SF world, and partly because initials look grown up and professional to me.

    Catching my breath after a whirlwind tour of northern CA. Why can't my family move to a village and live across the street from each other?

    Hope the Challenge if fun. I might take a look to see what the stir is all about.

    Thanks.
