The Emblem of The Helping Hand

It was because of my sincere gratitude, that The Helping Hand Emblem
and this blog were created. Just my way of saying ~ ~
Much Obliged! Very Much Obliged!

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:
It is customary that when Sojourner's Place reaches a goal or some other blog-milestone, that the Emblem of the Helping Hand is passed on in both humility and celebration.

Sojourner's Place was recently named the 2009 Black Web Award winner in the "Best Commentator" category. This is truly and honor! As such, the Emblem of the Helping Hand is passed on to the blogs listed below in shear appreciation.


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.

Sojourner,

Wow. Don't know what to say except thank you so very much. I really am honored by this. It's always great to be recognized and appreciated by one's peers, so this means a lot.

Thanks so much. I'm honored


thanks again, sojourner! i'm excited about going out and passing this along to fellow bloggers.


wow nice one


Asante sana for sharing this award with me. You provided the award back in June 2008 ... however, it wasn't until today that I managed to share the news with my blog readers. I did name 10 blogs for Helping Hands and Paying It Forward. Hopefully they will find their way here as well!

peace, Villager

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
