Thanks to Belinda from idiotwriting blog for my lovely “Butterfly Light Award”.
I would like to say (again) publicly you are one of my favourite bloggers and people on WordPress.
Belinda has asked me to release the award into general circulation. AND YOU GUYS ARE THE FIRST TO RECEIVE – how cool it that ?
I’ve nicknamed it the “Disco Flutterby Award”, partly because I can’t read, and partly because when I first saw it I wasn’t thinking on anything. What I saw was a disco mirror ball with coloured lights. It became apparent later that it’s actually a butterfly, so jokingly, I’d added the Flutterby, like kids or dyslexics might mis-say.
Belinda (the idiotwriter) gave me the award, an exclusive award no less for helping her fix her computer – ridding it of malware with a program called Malwarebytes. She blogged about it here – http://idiotwriting.wordpress.com/2014/03/13/i-love-charismatic-geeks/
Now’s the time for me to share it with you 🙂
Conditions For Accepting The Award
I’m adding a couple of conditions for accepting the award :
1. You must write an acceptance post, making sure you link back to the blogger who awarded you and thank them. You MAY NOT lump this award in with a batch of other awards.
2. You must individually name and re-award to a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 9999999 bloggers. You must let them know either personally with a comment on their blog OR a pingback (I’d suggest their about page)
3. You must link back to Belinda’s blog either to http://idiotwriting.wordpress.com/2014/03/13/i-love-charismatic-geeks/ OR http://idiotwriting.wordpress.com/about/
4. You must write a short paragraph (yes only one paragraph – damn this is easy) – Entitled either “How I’m Spreading Light” OR “How I’m A Positive Influence”
5. Display Belinda’s lovely “Butterfly Light Award” badge on your blog.
How I’m A Positive Influence
I believe we’re all capable of being charismatic people. We all have talents, skills and beauty, within us, to make this world a happier and better place to live. Unlocking this potential for me is a life-long journey. I will continue to unlock my own potential and influence others in unlocking their own potential, as best I can.

“Life is short. If you doubt me, ask a butterfly. Their average life span is a mere five to fourteen days.”
🙂 …. (unspammed this I don’t know why in there)
