Closing The Circle for April | Filed under Guest Speakers, General
It is now the turn of the Co-Creator of the Circle of Love to complete the Circle of Love for April. As Vickie pointed out on Monday, those names she received that have not been awarded this week will be considered in the coming months. But now, the Cowboy takes a turn on the stage to present the final award for April. The other winners for this month also share their kudos for the winner of the Circle of Love for Friday is none other than Vickie of Always Victoria. When she first announced this award, the most common comment I noted was that everyone thought she deserves this award the most. She said no at first, but when she approached me to collaborate on it, I insisted that I got to choose the Friday winner. With the intention of honoring everyone’s wishes. So here’s to you Ms. Victoria, the Cowboy takes off his hat and bows to your greatness. You truly are an inspiration to so many. Some of us comment, many visit, all of us leave feeling our souls lighter, our lives brightened, our days better for having been here. Now some words from the other winners from this week……….
Leslie had this tender and heartfelt comment about about Victoria:
You know how when you meet someone for the first time and after having spent a bit of time in their presence, able to look into their eyes, you get a sense from some that they’ve been here before? Old Souls we like to call them; people with a quiet confidence that comes from experience. The little things that stress so many of us out just don’t seem important to these people because they are so focused on the bigger picture, on the important things in life.
I got that sense from the very first entry of Vickie’s that I read. She touched something deep inside with her quiet words of wisdom and encouragement and continues to do that with most everything she writes.
Vickie’s genuine concern and empathy for all is unmistakable. Visiting her at Always Victoria feels like coming home — the door is always open and all are welcome.
It is said that in order to receive what you need, you must first give it away. Having the Circle of Love come back to Vickie is perfect. The circle started with her and so fittingly ends with her. Enjoy all the love and
friendship that this brings and represents, Vickie. You surely have it coming to you tenfold.
Karen had these wonderful words to share:
Vickie is one of the most generous, kind, real, and incredible people on this earth. She has been an amazing friend, and always there to cheer me up. Her attitude toward life and her illness is an inspiration to me, and helps keep me going. She is an example of everthing love is
Catherine of Flirt in a Skirt shares her beautiful thoughts on Vickie:
Vickie is so much more than I can ever hope to be, but I do believe we are kindred souls, cut from the same cloth. To be thought of as an angel is about the nicest possible thing I could imagine and my reply, Vickie dear to that, is… “It takes one to know one.”
I am totally honored to have been chosen to sit amongst a group of such wonderful people, who go so far to enhance the lives of others in anyway possible. The love and genuine care of these fine friends and yourself is like a huge fluffy cloud we can all climb onto and float away on; safe in the knowledge that we are each secure in the love that lies there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Vickie, and congratulations on your award now. There is NO ONE more deserving.
Love, Catherine
