Liebster Blog Award

First of all, Liebster means "dearest" in German. (Source)

I was giving this award by the beautiful Becky, and in picking me among five ladies she says 

(is such a wonderful, optimistic and encouraging person. An avid reader who writes wonderful posts on the topic of religion, politics and human rights issues. )

dear, you won't believe how these beautiful words came at the time I mostly need them, thank you so much for the words and your award :)

accepting the award, I have to choose up to 5 of my favorite and dearest bloggers who are with less than 200 followers and inform them of it .

here are the rules ( stolen from Becky's) :) 

Thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter on your blog. "done"

Link back to the blogger who awarded you. "done"

Pick (up to) 5 other blogs who fit within the award parameters (less than 200 followers). "done"

Inform them that you have chosen them by leaving a comment on their blog." on my way "

Post the award on your blog (you can take it from this post). "will be done in a minute"

now here are my favorite blogs with -surprisingly- less than 200 followers. Surprise cuz they are intelligent woman with amazing style of writing and very few people who knew about them !!. 

Here they are in no particular order and for no particular reason they are all Saudi or in Saudi Arabia :-

*Hning @hning's Asia : I won't talk about hning or Alia-her real name- in here, I will talk about what happen to 

me while reading her. Every post is a master piece in writing and while I read, I honestly don't know what exactly is happening to my brain and feelings. I don't think Alia is looking to enlighten people or think of it as her job but what she does is no less than that. And she can do them with beautiful words and short posts:)

*Nessreen/Diana @ The Secret Life of Bees, Knees : To be able to post for 350 days straight shows great will and that's what this young woman has. Last Ramadan when I came from Mecca pretty depressed her site was the one i haven logged on and reading her -most times- less than two paragraphs, she managed to show me a way, to make me feel great. To be able to live in this country when you have a chance to be out and still surviving is great :) 

                                                                             

*White Freedom @ My White Freedom : Age taught me to be careful of what I say about my country, make me look behind me when I write something negative, but "Freedom" is indeed one who is not afriad. She care less when it's about "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth", she really represent the young Saudi ladies who are frustrating with the lack of jobs and politics. 

*Dania @Above and Byond :  You really won't believe me if I say that I have never comment on this lady's blog and I am sure she knows nothing about me or my existing, I am actually wondering how to tell her about this award !!. But here's what I know, she is brilliant with words and from what I read so far in her blog, I think she is on her way to achieve things I know she deserves and should get. The blog is very personal but you can not read her without wondering about your life and be happy about every good step she is taking and worried about the heartbreaks. 

Off to tell the ladies :)
