I feel SO very honored to receive the Heart and Soul Award from one of my favorite writers!  Heidi, also known as the Health Wannabe Mom at:  http://www.healthnutwannabeemom.blogspot.com/ .   Heidi is such an inspiration to so many people including myself.  In spite of having a four year degree in Nutritional Sciences I learn so many new and interesting facts from Heidi.  She is also an animal lover, rescuer, and vegetarian just like myself.

This is a beautiful award that is given to those blogs that have touched or inspired you.  I am to pass it on to three blogs that have touched or inspired me and here are my picks:

El from Malaysia who is the writer of:  http://www.thecatzine.com/.  El is only 26 years old and has helped a great deal of stray animals.  Not only does he help these helpless little animals but his blog The Cat Zine contains information to help pet owners with any issue from A-Z.  He recently adopted a kitten named Bunga who he has several inspirational stories about, as well as some adorable photos.

Bob from http://blackholesandastrostuff.blogspot.com/.  Even though Bob writes about outer space which is something that I know next to nothing about, I have become interested and fascinated by it from reading his blog.  I am inspired by how much passion he has for his hobby and how much effort he puts into his site.  He always answers comments on his site and the visitors, uses humor in his writing, and is even going to China this summer for a total solar eclipse even though he doesn't like flying.  The photos on his site are AMAZING!

Last but not least, Furkidsmom who is the writer of http://www.friendsfurevercatblog.blogspot.com/ .  I love this blog because it is so positive and fun.  The Furkidsmom is so friendly and knowledgable.   This blog is so cute and fun to read.  I visit anytime I need to smile:)!
