Awards
I feel a little funny posting these awards. I was taught (in finishing school, no less) to never brag or boost. But I am so deeply grateful for the gift of these awards.
I gave up everything familiar - a six figure income, clients I loved, a life style of work hard (100+ hrs a week)/play hard (social outings, galas, blah, blah) - to pursue my dream of writing. The transition has been difficult.
The awards help keep me moving forward uphill.
And I am deeply grateful.

I was in the running for Moobs Tenuous Connection 2007

But lost. I’m barely over it. Next year, I’ll have a better tenuous connection to a star.

I received the “Thoughtful Blogger Award” from Heart in SF
but was unable to leave it alone.
After much thought, I created the Blame Awarded Blog Award.
(Feel free to use this icon when you need to pass a little blame around.)

I blessed again by Heart in SF. She gave me
the Totally Fabulous award
on the promise that I wouldn’t turn it into something.
I haven’t. Yet.

I received the Blogging that Hits the Mark from Heart in SF
Yippee!! Of course, I had to promise to stop hitting the Mark in my life… but that’s another story.

The CEO saw my enormous Rock-ability and awarded me:
I created “What everyone needs to know when they go to a Rock Concert” guide.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In a shocking turn of events, The CEO and Heart in SF awarded me the “Most likely to inspire pajamas” award. Shocking because I work an awful floral “nightie” as a child. The award is a celebration of pajamas! Yea!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
received this award from Heart in San Francisco. She said:
“Claudia at On a Limb with Claudia is exactly my idea of a wonderful woman of the world. She is both spiritual and vastly cool, a combination that is not easy to pull off. She writes wondrously, is a supremely independent thinker, and a most joyful, funny person.”

Janet at Fond of Snape awarded me this award saying:
“Claudia: She’s raw, she’s real, she’s funny. “

I received this award from Squirrelly at Lone Grey Squirrel. He said:
“Claudia likes to give an impression of a tough rocker girl but I think she is as sweet as honey and really cares about the people who visit her site. She also cares about bees.“

I received this award from the CEO at Morning Meeting
He said: “If you have no idea of the high pedestal that I have put Open Grove Claudia deservedly onto, then you haven’t been reading my blog for a while. Not only did Claudia help Susan, she was rocking out in the video. Naturally.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thank you for thinking of me. I cherish these awards
