I would like to thank the Academy....

I mean, Lucinda and Mommak for this award.



You can find the nominated post here.

But it's more than an award. With all this talk of Mommy Wars and such, I think that what Lucinda and Mommak are doing is bringing women together, in a time when so many other factors are tearing us apart. So thanks, to the two of you, for doing something positive and constructive for women and for bloggers. The "Perfect Post" button above will bring you to the list of those awarded this month. Go read. These are some smart, insightful and funny women and their writing is first rate. I think you will be moved, and tickled and probably find yourself nodding your head a time or two.

I would also like to thank everyone who has commented on my piece "Religion for Dummies". I always feel a little bit like a naughty child when I share my thoughts about religion and faith. I'm glad to know that there are others who can identify with my struggles. I also appreciate the Christians who have weighed in and shared their thoughts. The discussion cannot be fair and balanced (apologies to FoxNews for using their tagline) without both sides being represented so your input is absolutely essential.

Congratulations to everyone else who received a Perfect Post award this month. I am humbled to be in such company.
