Here is what this award is all about...
"This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. Blogging establishes friendly neighborhoods linked around the world".
I had the pleasure of "meeting" Amanda relatively recently. Amanda is an endometriosis patient who lives in Europe. She has written a blog for several years but just recently began blogging about her endometriosis. Her endo blog posts are candid, emotional, raw, and wonderfully detailed. She beautifully describes the challenges endo poses in her life and how she copes with them.
I am honored that Amanda has given me this award. I think the notion of proximity in the context of friendly blogging neighborhoods around the world is a perfect match for the link between me (in the U.S.) and Amanda (in Europe). I feel very connected to her by endometriosis and our similar experiences with it.
Amanda writes beautifully and I'm so happy that we found each other on this vast space called the Internet.
Amanda has left some thoughtful comments on my blog and her endo blog posts really delve into the emotional toll endo can take on a patient and her loved ones.
Please check out Amanda's blog for some great posts on endometriosis!

Thank you, Amanda!
Now, I have broken the rules and will not be passing this award along to the number of bloggers I'm supposed to.
Not only am I too tired to "follow the rules" but I don't want to pass this award along to someone else who will feel overwhelmed at having to select X number of other blogs for this award.
I am going to pass this along to two of my Canadian endometriosis blogging buddies.
If they are too tired to post the award or pass it along, that's OK! I'm going to list their blogs here because they are worth your time to check out:
Squidgeaboo's Endo Blog
Endometriosis: Facing The Battle Head-On
If they choose not to post the award/pass it along (because I know they both have full plates right now!!!), that's OK. This post will still, hopefully, send some readers their way.
My purpose for selecting these two particular blogs is simply because I love these blogs, I love these bloggers, and I'd love to send some traffic to their well-written blogs!
So, please check out the blogs of Amanda, Melissa, and Squidgeaboo. They all have important things to say about endometriosis and living with chronic illness.
Take a peek and see why I like them so much! :)
