SPLENDID SUNSHINE: My First Award

by Earlie Doriman
It is both a surprise and an inspiration to get my first blogging award. And I could not thank enough Heart who picked me as one of the nominees. I have been following her blog, Fire in my Eyes, for sometime now and it does not fail to provide me quality contents and sensible everyday life insights. It is very heart-warming to know that there are a good number of people across the virtual world that let you feel they are just a door away and always ready to put sunshine in your day, and I am glad to tell you that Heart is one of them.
Thanks for this award again Heart.
You may visit her blog and see it for yourself.


A generous Heart is contagious, and it could spread throughout cheerfully and beyond borders. Being a recipient of others kindness, I am more than willing to share this to other deserving bloggers around. Just follow the following rules to grab it.









* Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them.
* Tell us something about yourself.
* Nominate 10 other bloggers.
* And let them know you awarded them!


Whilst blogging is one of my joys, parenting is a unique source of happiness and achievement too, and I love looking after my two young children. I am blessed with a very compassionate family and relatives and forever thankful that we have close friends who are like a family to us even if we are away from our home country. I like listening to diverse genre of music, but what I love most are the songs of Bruno Mars, Josh Groban, and some Filipino artists like Gary Valenciano and Martin Nievera.
The list below are the blogs/sites that I considered my favourites and therefore deserve to get nominated for the Sunshine Award. ( Fire in my Eyes is essentially amongst these blogs).

Why these blogs?
I read a lot of blogs/sites everyday and the following that I mentioned above are those that are truly inspiring and beautiful, well thought of, and their authors are simply genuine – candid, insightful, practical, appreciative, full of wisdom, optimistic, and they write from their heart.  These are the blogs that I learned many things everyday. Inspirations from the bible to inspirations from the experiences that they shared. And thus they deserve the Sunshine Award so that they continue to provide brighter days to their respective readers.
Click them now and experience the diversity and excellence of their posts.
To the awardees, congratulations to all and keep writing from your heart.

  1. Oh Earlie, I am so honored! Your blog is an inspiration to me, and brings sunshine to my week as well. I saw your name on Flameheart's nomination list, and so I didn't send it to you as again, but I am going to add you to my nomination list :) I love getting to know you and your family through your well-written, interesting and though-provoking blog.
    Thank you for the extra sunshine my friend :)

  2. HI healingleaf,

    It seems like we are in one place now and could not simply find each other to see face to face. But i am very glad that a friend is actually there who could certainly hear my shouts and screams when in trouble.

    Thanks very much my friend. I am very grateful.
