Thanks to Maryam Jamil, from entertainmentstarters
… and Foxy-O from foxyolive for this award.
There’s a new Don Charisma badge for the award or you can choose the existing dove badge …
I think of Yoda when I think inner peace, so he’s featured in the badge.
The inner peace award is one of my favourite awards. It’s a lovely idea, I mean with all the turmoil that happens in our lives, who doesn’t like inner peace or want more of it ?
Maryam was kind enough to re-award me the award straight back after I’d awarded her, on 31-Oct-2013
Foxy-O was kind enough to award me, on 29-Mar-2014
Conditions For Accepting The Award
The only “rule” for the inner peace award is that you write a short piece on why you are accepting it. I would suggest that you forward on to other bloggers who you think would like it, 3-10 up to you:)
Why I’m Accepting The Inner Peace Award
We can all achieve more peaceful inner experience of the world. It’s often not easy to remain calm on the inside in challenging situations and around “difficult” people. What I’ve learn’t so far is that it’s quite often more about how we perceive what’s happening to us, than anything else, that determines our inner peace. Changing our perception of people and situations, can have a dramatic effect on our inner peace. So I do my best to look for positive ways to perceive 🙂

Don Charisma 
I am way behind this award! Thanks sir Don for the awards 🙂
You’re very welcome Mikee 😀
LOL didn’t see me on the list…not that I am peaceful or quiet LOL
I did a yoda badge just for you … complete turmoil on the outside, complete calm within 🙂
I’ve added you to the list, so you are now the proud nominee of a yoda inner peace badge 🙂 Instructions above !
Cheers
Don
Thanks for the Inner Peace Award 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
Reblogged this on SherayxWeblog.
Thanks for the reblog 🙂
Mr Charisma
I was having a chat the other day and a friend who is a writer and blogger suggested we give ourselves awards. We need look no further. I happily accept this award as the more peaceful people there are on their planet the more we move towards a tipping point of peacefulness. It all happens on the inside. My inner dolphin is leaping for joy. Cheers and much appreciation. My you be showered with radiance. Cheers Cat
Thanks Cat for your thoughtful message … now will it be a yoda or a dove, my guess is a dove !
Congrats! 😀
Thanks 🙂
Thank you for the award! This is such a cool award it really makes you think about how important it is to have inner peace. 🙂
You’re welcome … and thank you for liking so many of my posts … happy you like the award 🙂
Love Yoda! Thanks for the award! I’ll link up eventually. Peace and Joy, and may the force be with you, Brenda
You are welcome brenda 🙂
Hey Don, Thank you so much for this beautiful award. I’m linking back.
http://poemotherapishoppe.com/2014/04/12/the-inner-peace-award-from-don-charisma/
Thanks hun, you are welcome of course, and thanks for linking back 🙂
Okay, Sure Thing 🙂
🙂
Thank you once again Don for your generosity and consideration. I’m honoured and this time I choose Yoda for Yoda in a way is like a blogger: “Always pass on what you have learned.” 😀
You are welcome hun … and thanks on the yoda, I feel some people would like, perhaps those that didn’t connect with the dove !
Once again, hearty congrats, Don! All your awards are well-deserved.
Thank you Russel 🙂
Seriously Don, Yoda looks pretty mad for an inner peace badge. 🙂
That’ll put off all the “t-shirt philosophers”, good, happy for people who don’t look beyond the surface to be put off 🙂
Love the post Don! Thanks for re-nominating me for this award… very much appreciated 🙂
You are very very welcome 🙂
Congrats to you and thank for another lovely award! Very thoughtful and kind of you. Cute one with Yoda! Take care, my friend.
You are weclome hun and thanks … yoda is a little disturbed on the outside, lucky its “inner peace” !
Congrats Don, and thank you also. I love this one especially, since I’ve found my inner peace now.
🙂 inner peace is always good !
Congratulations!
And thank you very much 🙂
Truly wonderful the mind of Don Charisma is – what Yoda would say about you.
Welcome you are … and thank you much I do 🙂
Thank you for awarding me the Inner Peace prize, DC. Where do I send my acceptance speech?
Jesse
Just do the same as me and post on your blog dude, easy 🙂
Thanks, Don, for everything. You rock, seriously.
You are welcome Ann, haven’t heard from you for a while, hope all is well 🙂
I’ve been way too busy, Don. I’m home sick today; that’s why I have more time to go visiting on WordPress. Even when I’m not commenting, though, I am appreciating what you do here.
No problem, just don’t disappear completely … sorry to hear about homesick, happens to everyone I guess sometimes … and glad to hear you’re keeping tabs on me in the background 🙂
Congratulations, DC. Well deserved.
Thanks Nav, hope all is well with you too 🙂
Not bad, thanks. Busy looking for another job, otherwise good.
I wish you good luck on that front … I think the Canadian economy is quite prosperous, so prospects are good … well at least that’s as far as I know !
congratulations Don. Well Deserved 🙂 Thanks a lot for the nomination.
Thanks my friend, and of course you are very welcome 🙂
What a lovely post, thanks so much Don! Love the new Yoda look, a great idea! I also totally agree with you about changing our perceptions of people and situations to gain a better understanding of how things really are. A much more peaceful way to live.
Wishing you a wonderful, peaceful weekend – Sherri 🙂
Hey Sherri, thanks the Yoda was my “first thing that comes into my head” strategy … I like him even though he doesn’t look all that peaceful on the outside LOL
have a lovely weekend yourself hun 🙂
LOL!! Thanks Don 🙂
Hey!!
Thanks again for awarding my sites; http://preteenrebel.wordpress.com/ and http://woofdiaries.wordpress.com/ !!
You are welcome, sorry for late reply, I rescued you from the spam queue 🙂
At least SOMEONE thinks I’m worth rescuing 🙂
I definitely think you’re worth rescuing and I can only apologise for the spam system behaving so badly 🙂
Hey Don.
Thanks so much for this award and really liking the Stars Wars theme 🙂
Cheers,
Vijay
You’re exceedingly welcome my friend … didn’t know how the yoda/star wars would do down, but I like it !
