…yeez all know very well there are Awards, and then there are AWARDS… Blog Land has plenty of them… and long may they continue to proliferate… the majority are great fun, and usually always a pleasure to receive, especially when they come from yer fellow quill-scrapers… yesterday, I was the proud, and very humbled (yes, Mabel, even me… humbled) recipient of an AWARD I’d never seen before… the Written Acts of Kindness Award… it will take prominent pride of place on my virtual mantelpiece… the LUVLY and ever-generous Cate Russell-Cole saw fit to bring a seldom-seen blush to my wan complexion by naming me as an Awardee… in my turn, I have decided to initiate a few of these over time… as it happens, off the top of my head I could think of a least a dozen worthies for the Award, but will start off with one today… the magnificent Susan Toy…
…on a personal basis, Susan has been one of my staunchest supporters, encouragers, and a downright great pal over the past year or so… but it doesn’t stop there… this fine Lady bangs the literary drum for many and varied authors, covering a massively broad range of genres… her blog islandeditions.wordpress.com is a joy to read… recently, in the Caribbean, Susan was afflicted by a nasty local illness, chikungunya, which is as malevolent as it sounds… notwithstanding that, her stream of profiling for other writers continued unabated on her Reading Recommendations page… for me, Susan is the equivalent of the Dame of the Literary Empire… thank you for you, m’Lady… see yeez later… LUV YEEZ!…

…Susan, the rules for passing this Award on are very simple:
- You are welcome to give it out as many times as you like, but it is only to be given to a maximum of one person per blog post. If you wish to give multiple rewards, please space the blog posts so the sincerity is maintained.
- Introduce the person; say how they encourage, help or inspire you; then link to their work and/or social media profiles. There may be a specific post you wish to link to which helped you. It’s up to you.
- Please publicise your award post to Twitter or Google Plus using the hashtag #writtenkindness so that others can find and follow the award winners.
This award is open to anyone to use. You don’t have to receive it, in order to be able to give it. Once you have received it, it isn’t obligatory that you must pass it on.

Congratulations Seumas on being awarded the Written Acts of Kindness Award! It sounds as though you’ve then awarded it to a most worthy woman. We have that terrible chikungunya infection here in India so I’m familiar with this debilitating illness. I’m so sorry that lovely lady had to suffer from it. I hope she’s feeling much better now.
