Interesting Observations

blogging, social media and self-improvement!

Taking a Bow

I am almost blushing with embarrassment revealing that I was one of the chosen few to get the Master Schmoozer award from not one, but two bloggers this week! Gosh, I never thought of myself as being a schmoozer though…

Master Schmoozer - PearlI have mentioned on my blog before about the esteemed artist at Laketrees – Kim… She is an award winning portrait artist! You can see her work on her blog.. Laketrees. And an award coming from her?

Kim says she awards the schmoozer award to Pearl because:

Pearl at Interesting Observations is the sweetest…most unnaffected …..’princess’…….(who btw …happens to think that Prince William is a better catch than Leonardo Di Caprio)………Pearl writes interesting …thoughtful articles with a fresh…and open point of view…..and always responds to her readers in the same manner…..

The other blogger who thinks I am worthy of this award is Markeff – yes, you got it, our French Connection ;) .. he can be found blogging at the speed of light here . Mark calls me one of his A-List of much-esteemed bloggers/pen-pals ..

And Saboma from Maryannville – the kindest lady on earth confirms “Congratulations Pearl! You are every bit worth two awards and then some, Dahlink! Take your bow, Girlfriend”

What can I say really? Now those are some really kind and interesting words for yours truly! I am truly humbled and I thank you all for your generosity. And like any good girl, I take a bow =).

Honestly, I participate in the blogosphere not just for schmoozing though, I feel I am learning a great deal from all of your experience, and I enjoy if I can share something with you all. I feel we all need each other in one way or another. So if someone is helping me in some way, my efforts will be to be able to return the favor in some way shape or form.

I read a lot of blogs daily and feel there are a lot of newbies who start writing posts that do not give you a feel as if they are ‘talking’ to you. Why are we all blogging btw? I sit in front of the computer ‘box’, not because I like staring at the screen. I really love to talk to people, and I want to hear from them. I actually feel I am making a connection with you when I am writing on my blog. I hope I can reach out to more and more interesting people and make life long friends.

Congratulations! You do have a variety of readers here, and it’s always a treat to come by.

BTW- have you tried the next feature of the google reader? I like it better than reading the blogs in the reader. It takes you directly tot he page.

Congrats on the award ;)

I think I’d fallen into that trap of “not talking” to my readers because I would just post for the sake of posting, and it sounded quite robotic and not “human”. I’m starting to get myself sorted out on that, and it’s working pretty good for me. :)

Incidentally, what’s the check box below the Post Your Comment button for? Follow-ups by email?

Glad you took that bow at last, Lady. ;D
Keep up the great schmoozing ! (and the many, many other things you rock at as well !)
PS, I’ll take the idea of speed-blogging very seriously. Thanks for helping me figure out what my (yet-to-be-figured-out) niche is. You’re awesome & insightful, even when you take a bow. ;)
This is some world-class schmoozing on your account !
Kongradulashons again, Pearl.
