The Emblem of The Helping Hand: Much Obliged and Paying it Forward #2

The doors of the original Sojourner's Place officially opened for business on January 1, 2008. I was scared, but excited about this new venture. And now, while no longer scared - I remain excited with what the future holds for me and and the new Sojourner's Place launched May 2009!

Sojourner's Place and I came a long way in just a few short months. But, we didn't get there by ourselves. We had a lot of help, support, and encouragement. The blogsphere, Afrosphere, and definetely the AfroSpear welcomed us with open arms. And for that we will be enternally grateful.

Labels: helping hand

I'm celebrating milestones and awesome recognitions received over at Sojourner's Place by handing out the second Emblem of the Helping Hand to 13 amazing and supportive bloggers.

It's great to have received: Black Blog and Black Weblog Award nominations; Rising Blogger Award for the Saggin' Pants post, Moved up in Villagers BBR to 114 out of 1329 blogs, and Reached Technorati Authority over 100! But it is so much better to give the Emblem to the following 13:

Adventures in Being ~ Black Political Thought ~ Ebony Report ~ HicktownPress ~ Mimi Writes ~ ModernMusings.com ~ Musings About A Muddled World ~ Raw Dawg Buffalo ~ SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE ~ The Synergistic Pen ~ UltravioletUnderground ~ What About Our Daughters? ~ Womanist Musings

Congratulations! Be sure to leave your mark below and pass the Emblem on.

Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old SjP ain't got nothing more to say.

Leaving the Pile Higher Than I Found It

Receiving the Emblem in recognition for your mentoring, support, and encouragement to a fellow blogger is no small fete! It is evidence that you have gone well beyond the call of duty by your continued efforts to "leave the pile higher than you found it"! It is further evidence that your blog(s)has been identified as the epitome of excellence and is certainly admired.

Receiving the Emblem from a seasoned blogger is a testimony to your that you're on the right track! That your voice is being heard. And there are those out here in the blogosphere that recognize your potential even if you don't. Keep up the good work, and remember to "Pay it Forward".

Congratulations again. Please add yourself to The Emblem of the Helping Hand meme so others will learn of your accomplishment. And don't forget to add a comment.

Much obliged...very much obliged, SjP
