Here are my Nominees...

1) Jess at http://themcclenahans.blogspot.com/ Her willingness to share the love she has for her sweet Cora, the strength she finds in Jesus and for her amazing support system ... it just makes me feel better about this world we're living in.

2) Stephanie at http://braedensheartjourney.blogspot.com. Without her poetry, I don't know what I would do. I have a sample, one that touches me deeply, on this blog. She is amazing.

3) Kelly at http://chdbabies.blogspot.com. Her beautiful posts to her baby girl and her amazing work to bring awareness to CHD are just two of the ways her blog warms my heart daily.

4) Angie at "Bring the Rain" http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com. Talk about true love for God and true acceptance of His will in your life. Angie embodies all of this and more. A loving Mama and Wife and true inspiration to all. And she's pregnant again! What a blessing.

5) Isabelle at http://chdspeaks.blogspot.com. For not being afraid to make a statement by using that *brand*. For giving CHD the respect it deserves. For loving her son and fighting for him.

6) Annamarie at 1in100.org (coming soon). For her amazing work with legislation in her home state of Minnesota and in our nation's capital. For fighting for newborn screening measures and pediatric devices. For being willing to share her talents with the rest of us. For Eve.

These are just a few of the many blogs that warm my heart and inspire me daily ...
