Friendship Around the World Award

Friendship Award MemeJack Mandora, whose blog I admire, has passed this award along to me with the mandate of sharing it with friends whom I’ve met through blogging. I will add that they became my friends because of the remarkable content of their blogs.

So, here are my awardees:



Moving Back to Jamaica: Francis always provides useful information about what’s happening in Jamaica and his time management series is awesome!

Doan Mind Me: Jdid writes thoughtfully and many times humorously about life in Canada from a Caribbean perspective.

Jahworld: Pam Mordecai is a wonderful poet, fiction writer, and scholar.

Kyra Hicks: Kyra continues to teach me about the wide world of children’s books

PoĆ©frika: Click on Rethabile’s site some time, anytime and you’ll be rewarded.

Professor Zero: Just when you think you’ve figured her out, she’ll come from another angle and drop some wisdom on you.

Stanmore Hill: I don’t know how Fragano can keep up his pace of poetry and commentary.

MadBull: Not only has he become an online friend, but when he was in Miami. we met and it turns out we were from the same part of Kingston. Amazing!

Blogworld: Nicolette is not only a scholar and poet, but also someone who writes critically about the state of Caribbean life and letters.

Crafty Green Poet: Crafty writes with passion about the environment and gives me glimpses of Scotland that otherwise I’d have never encountered.

If you noticed a trend here, you’re right.

Now, fellow awardees, you all have a job to do. Tell me about your favorites

Hi Geoff:

Thanks Geoff. As you know, I'm inspired by your blog. I check it constantly, and always find a pearl.

Thanks much, Geoffrey. I do have to note that the commentary is mostly John Maxwell's, not mine.

Hi Geoff:

I wrote something here to say thanks and that I've been inspired by your blog, but it seems to have vanished. so, once more, many thanks and nuff respec.

FSJL said...

It has just occurred to me that, in spite of all tradition, you have chosen Jack Mandora.

Geoffrey Philp said...
