Thank you all, very gracious of you. I humbly accept.
Section 1: Directions for you to accept the Sunshine Award
To accept this award, the awardee must do the following:
- Display the Award on your Blog.
- Announce your win with a post and thank the Blogger who awarded you.
- Present 10 deserving Bloggers with the Award – “who positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere.”
- Link your awardees in the post and let them know of their being awarded.
- Write 10 interesting things about you
Section 2: 10 Interesting things about me
1. Give me sweet and gentle versus sassy and bitchy, any day of the week. I’m a lover not a fighter.
2. I don’t own a car anymore, I gave it up, too expensive. I now used car-sharing scheme zipcar when I’m back home in UK, public transport or taxi when the need arises.
3. My most watched film is “The Matrix”
4. I shot JFK. You think ?
5. I recently discovered ORS. ORS is Oral Rehydration Salts, aka electrolytes. Why is this important ? Because it’s hot were I am that means one sweats a lot. My body can get most of the electrolyte elements from salt, but not potassium. Potassium is in ORS sachet, which is small, so easy to travel with and tastes great.
6. The one from “Friends” vs Megan Fox … Megan Fox for sure.
7. I do like a couple of lady-films, Breakfast At Tiffany’s and Bridget Jones. SHHHH don’t tell the guys !
8. Above said, generally rom-coms bore me to sleep, I’d rather be watching paint dry.
9. I looked at stab proof clothing today on the web. It’s intriguing stuff, they are actually starting to make clothes that look wearable that are tougher than kevlar.
10. Leg or breast man. Neither.

Don charisma, you do have charisma by awarding me this award. But I have no clue how the hell to put up the logo….So that will take me some time, you know, cave man here when it gets to technology.
You’ll figure it, think widget and image and you’re half way there 🙂
So well deserved for you.
I haven’t seen anyone as generous as you in sharing the joy and honor of awards.
Thank you for including me.
And I hope you’re feeling much better.
Thanks sharon, I do my best to spread the love 🙂 Warm regards DC
Reblogged this on Forget the Viagra, Pass Me a Carrot and commented:
He is probably going to hate me for this – but Don Charisma is the Father Christmas of blogging – he has kindly given me two awards and it certainly made me feel festive! Blogging is an interactive activity. Yes, we all love writing but there is a huge kick in just one person coming back to you and saying “I liked that”. Twitter is a bit like Alice in Wonderland – Facebook is posting in the comfort zone of family and friends who mainly know you well. But wordpress is where you put your hopefully best writing food forward. Thank you Don Charisma for your diverse and versatile blog and for you generosity.
Thanks for reblog, and don’t hate you … cheers DC
Oh good – see you around.
Welcome … I saw your message on Twitter thanks for doing that for me 🙂 warm regards DC
Wow you are really wonderful Don! I fully concur with all the previous beautiful comments on your post. Reading your post on this day when the Sun was hiding the whole day from me….. I was only able to find him on my desktop as my background image… and you should now.. Just by looking at the image I was satisfied I could imagine he was shining. But receiving a Sunshine Award.. Wow! You really made my day! I have quite some “homework” to catch up so it might take a while before I start posting again. I’ve been more in the reading mode with my new little tiny friend (my I-phone 😉 ).The good news is that I got my belated gift from Santa..Only struggling a little bit with Windows 8 but it’s o.k. Thank you so much for thinking about me and awarding me and mostly for your wonderful friendship! Have a wonderful, blessed and Sunny weekend Don! 🙂
Win 8 good luck with that, I’ve stayed win 7 …
And happy to have touched you on a not so sunny day …
Hope all is well ..
Warmest regards
DC
This is awesome! I am new to blogging. I love it so much. I feel like it frees my heart and soul!

Good writing dude, we can’t always be 100% charismatic, that’s life 🙂 DC

DC
Of course I do. Best wishes from me 🙂
Congrats!!! Heartfelt …. 🙂
Thanks, much appreciated 🙂
Gracious what a list! Funny thing happened to me. . . The award showed up on my phone but not on my computer. . . Funny ?
Don Charisma’s infiltrated your phone !
Yes as the blog get’s bigger so does the friends list 🙂
All good with you? how’s zero to hero going ?
I stopped as there was so much technology I had no idea about. I think I have someone to help me organize the site with some categories over the weekend. Baby steps. . . . I am good. . . . how are you ? You must spend hours on your blog. . . . so glad things are going so well with you….you are remarkable. . . . .
Thanks Anne … Yes there’s a lot of technology I guess, I’ve been around it all my life, so much of it’s second nature … one step at a time like you say Rome wasn’t built in a day … Yes takes up quite a lot of time, but I enjoy it and it suits my and my business partner’s goals, so all good.
Thanks for the compliment 🙂
You are, kind, gentle, and encouraging as is Shaun. People need friends and or acquaintances with those qualities. You are hard working available.
I know what you mean , I love the writing and the thought that I have something meaningful to do. And I want to bound my pots about India for my family , later on to read my words and know me at least a little after TalesAlongTheWay is no more!
My father gave me how to win friends and influence people by dale carnegie. I reckon the cruel and unkind can get ahead, but who wants to spend their life looking over their shoulder ?
I think just concentrate what you’re good at already Anne, you’re already a hero as far as I’m concerned. Good friendly people is hero enough for me …
Preshly Freshed, I’d be surprised if I ever get on there, so I make my own luck 🙂
So when does the TalesAlongTheWay book come out, that would be a good read !
Cheers
DC
That is an old book that I have only heard of but not read…..but the wisdom continues. Well, I love to write and share stories and am amazed that others like to read it. India was a very special experience for me and I love sharing it with others. Thank you for your friendship!
Ah, it’s the charismatic person’s bible … good read entirely recommended.
I’m the same, but I think people realise that we do out best to write and do what we do as best we can, and that’s enough … the superficial types are largely elsewhere on the net.
You are welcome Anne, and same 🙂
Cheers
DC
And that is fine with me! LOL. . . will try to read it !
🙂
Congrats Don Charisma.
Thanks Kimberly 🙂
Thank you dear Don 🙂
You are very welcome Mr Tao 🙂
Thank you dear 🙂
Congrats!!! Well Deserved!
Thanks 🙂
Congrats, and I love that gallery of Sunshine Badges 🙂
Thanks dude, and I got bored with the one badge that floats around so why not offer some others 🙂
You are so very kind. I really need sunshine today. Thanks so much Don.
Irene
You are welcome … no Sun today in Spain ?
No, only a little and inside me not so much.
Irene
Hey, that sucks, I get the same from time to time, causes vary. Just try take good care yourself, and do what you need to, get rest if you need. Things will get better they always do 🙂
Thanks Don 🙂
Welcome, you can send me an email if you want. It’s difficult to help publicly and sometimes people don’t want advice. Cheers DC
