\"veryinspiringblogaward\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A wonderful person I know only as Ursula nominated my blog for this award – more on her below.<\/p>\n

The Rules.<\/h2>\n

1. Display the logo on your blog.
\n2. Link back to the person who nominated you.
\n3. State 7 things about yourself.
\n4. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the award.
\n5. Notify your nominees.
\n{I’ll follow these, though the rebel within demands I re-sequence them.<\/em>}<\/p>\n

The Link-Back.<\/h2>\n

My nominator, is Ursula, from the blog An Upturned Soul<\/a>.\u00a0 Why Ursula decided to nominate me, she states upon her blog with her usual eloquence. I\u2019m included in the list of people who inspire her, but I must wonder why\u2026 Only two reasons spring to mind. The first, that my tweets might inspire her<\/a>, as hers inspire me.\u00a0 The second, that she is reading Malmaxa, and sees reflected within its hidden depths, another world which touches her.<\/p>\n

Regardless of Ursula\u2019s reason, her nomination means an enormous amount to me.\u00a0 Her choice places me deeper in her debt \u2013 unlike matters monetary, this is a debt I am pleased to possess, and still more pleased to repay.\u00a0 Ursula, you\u2019ve granted me yet another memory I shall treasure, quite literally, forever.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n

The Fifteen Nominees.<\/h2>\n

Unlike Ursula, I had no difficulty in selecting fifteen bloggers.\u00a0 Each of the following, in deliberately random order, inspires me in some way. For my reason why, hover your mouse over the link to their blog\u00a0\u2013 it will reveal their twitter handle, and a hint.\u00a0 I’ll comply with notification rule five, by tweeting each of them through Twitter \u2013 a continual stream of inspiration, least for me.<\/p>\n

Seven things, of me.<\/h2>\n

Very well \u2013 each is true, yet cast within words which some might question.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • I hail, from a land of five names, yet it is only called by one.<\/li>\n
  • I am not as tall, as I used to be.<\/li>\n
  • Though my brothers number four, there are only two.<\/li>\n
  • Both of my twinned sisters bear the name, Elizabeth.<\/li>\n
  • My name, is my own, yet borrowed from an honorable man.<\/li>\n
  • Though I reside in Dublin, my soul remains bound to Africa.<\/li>\n
  • My wisdom must be great, for I shed those teeth four times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
