Moi? Blogging With A Purpose Award

I must thank Kim from "Journey To Isabella" for awarding me with the "Blogging with a Purpose" Award! This is what Kim said about my blog...

"Lisa @ Life with Briana...Lisa is a new mommy to a smiley little Briana...Lisa has a Heart of Gold...I have figured out why Briana is always smiling..."Like mother, like daughter..." Lisa is so inspirational...still after her referral and she is home with her daughter...she is still right in the trenches with us waiting on our little girls to come home..."

Wow - I am not worthy! Isn't she the sweetest? I really am so honored.

So, now I am supposed to pick 5 blogs that serve a purpose and pass on this award. Gosh, this is hard. I follow a number of blogs, and I believe each and every one serves a purpose. I am also not supposed to award someone who has already been awarded. I must only choose 5, so here it goes (and hopefully they have not been awarded already):

1. The Mad Race For Macey - Kris is a true inspiration. When I read what she writes, I can actually feel her emotions through her words. She is so amazingly spiritual and enlightened. I love her honesty and openness as she shares her life with us as she waits for her daughter in China. And her photography is so beautiful as well.

2. Australia to China - Who knew I would become blog buddies with someone on the other side of the world from me? Ozimum shares her mantra "Laugh. Live. Love." with the blog world. I love her upbeat attitude about the wait for her China daughter, and I enjoy reading about her life and family.

3. Catherine's Chatter - Waiting For Hannah - Catherine has such a positive attitude about the wait for her China daughter and toward life in general. Her faith in God is strong and gives her an amazing peace of mind.

4. Tuininga Treasures - Janet shares her life and funny stories about raising a large family as she waits for a daughter from China. I can't tell you how many times I find myself giggling about what her kids say. Her blog is fun and uplifting!

5. 3D's Adoption Journey - Doris openly and honestly shares the ups and downs she experiences as she waits for her daughter in China. And she always reminds you to "Keep Smilin'".

Below are the guidelines to follow when choosing the next 5.
