The Remarkable Women Bloggers Award

I have read many blogs that are written by women who really inspire me with their life experience, their courage and their strength. I created The Remarkable Women Bloggers Award to give a shout-out to these true heroines because, too often, they go unsung. Their blogs are witty, interesting, personal and/or inspiring, but sometimes it's easy for us to forget, or not be aware of the challenges they face on a daily basis because, well, they don't always write about them.


If you have been given this award, please feel free to take the image above and place it on your blog. Just please remember to link it back to this page.

If you would like to give this award to someone, or if you would like to nominate someone, here are the criteria:

• The blogger must be a woman
  
• She must give of herself to help others, or must have come through a major life challenge that has resulted in her being a better person.
• This award is not a mere "feel good" award. It is one of selfless accomplishment, service and/or overcoming. The areas to be considered would be:
  
  
  
  1. The death of a spouse or child
  2. Being a caregiver, either professionally or personally
  3. Surviving and/or battling a major illness like cancer, AIDS, stroke, etc.
  4. Being the parent of a special needs child
  5. Putting oneself through school after raising a family
  6. &tc.
