Brass Crescent Awards

Salamaat,
Thank you for those who nominated and voted for me
Lightness of Being got “Most Deserving of Wider Recognition” (Which blog is a true diamond in the rough, one that everyone should be reading but who most just haven’t heard of (yet)?)
Awesome Stuff
I was surprised at some of the other results, as my predictions were completely off (there goes my career as a psychic).
One of my favorite blogs: Truth & Beauty won Best Female blog and I am really happy for her. Mezba whose blog is full witty anecdotes won for Best Post series, and Nzingha’s Soapbox for best Middle Eastern blogger.
There were some blogs I wasn’t familiar with, so it’s always nice to see who else is out there. I realize too how easy it is to form a web- “bubble” where I tend to visit the same blogs over and over again, and maybe once in a while venture out to see what lies yonder.
Check out the rest of the winners here.
