She's a beautiful woman of faith who blogs over at  This Favored Woman . Her posts are always so enriching and refreshing, so why don't you go over to her site and say hello to her from me? This award is actually a first for me and I should probably give a speech or something...y'all know how it's done, right? You hold the mic and chants OMG for a while and then launch into some long or short speech as the 'spirit' leads...then you dedicate your award to some lovely people in your life...
