Thank you so much for this honor! When I started my blog, Escape from Obesity, I had no idea ANYONE would ever read it or find it interesting! It was just a place to write my feelings and experiences. And now it has grown into so much more. I am so blessed to have the support of so many who are going through the same thing. I am encouraged to keep on blogging and hopeful that people will continue to find it helpful in some small way. Kudos to all the great bloggers out there!

I’m sort of at a loss here for the correct words that will say how honoured and humbled I am for being voted Best Inspirational Blog.
A huge Thank You goes out to everyone who organized this and to all who voted daily and sent the word around. I have noted many daily visitors who come to BigBlueBarnWest through TheBestofBlogs.com – Thank you!
I never knew before all of this that my writing was inspiring so many. Again – Thank You All for your support!
