My friend, Debbie from Fresh Air Lover, recently awarded me a Thinking Blogger award. Needless to say, I'm delighted because (a) it's a cool concept, and (b) Debbie is one of my favorite bloggers. Had she not already been tagged, she would definitely be on my list.
I am empowered to name five more bloggers who I believe are deserving of this distinction. These are blogs that make me think. I could easily name twenty, but the rules say that five is the limit. Here's my list, in no particular order:
- Figleaf from Real Adult Sex - OK, I'll acknowledge that it seems like sucking up to select such a prominent blogger. But if we're talking about people who make me think, he simply has to be here.
- Abel and Haron from The Spanking Writers - Clever, insightful, brilliant... Better yet, go see for yourself!
- The eight smart, expressive, unique voices who contribute to the Punishment Book - These women, different in so many ways, are united by a common interest in spankings and corporal punishment. Collaborative blogs seldom work well, but this one is superb.
- CeeCi from Giardino del Piacere - Her gift as an author is the ability to discuss everything and nothing and somehow make it all interesting and appealing. Her blog is a place of beauty and a source of inspiration.
- Vivian from The Disciplined Feminist - As the title suggests, Vivian explores the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in this lifestyle. Always intelligent and often surprising, her perspectives regularly shed new light on old topics.
Congratulations to all these wonderful bloggers (yes, Haron, you get two). Should you wish to continue the chain, here are the rules:
- If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to five blogs that make you think,
- Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
- Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn't fit your blog).
I hope you'll visit these blogs and discover, as I have, the power of their words.
