On the Shoulder of Giants: Winning a Blog Award
Writing about one’s self or one’s blog never fails to give me a feeling of unease. I guess I just feel that I should leave any form of feedback to other people. That way, I can get a more accurate measure of what my readers think.
This week has been a week of firsts for me. Keeping that same spirit, for the first time, this post is about my blog.
Okay, before you decide on not reading further, I just want to take this time to give thanks to David McMahon of “authorblog” for recognizing my blog as one of his best blogs for last week’s authorblog: Aussiejourno’s Weekly Blog Awards.
Not only was the blog listed, but it was able to get to the top three. I am so honored to be listed with really cool blogs that have proven to be great sources of relevant and entertaining information. I honestly feel small when compared to the blogs listed there which, by my knowledge, gets more than fifty times more visitors than I do.
David McMahon, is a Melbourne-based journalist and internationally-published photographer who wrote the bestselling novel Vegemite Vindaloo.
I am just so happy to have made the cut. I admire people like David who share their experience to benefit others.
This is the first recognition this blog has received and hopefully it won’t be the last. It is quite an exhilarating experience to stand on the shoulders of giants.

‘I’ll tell you something interesting. There’s an Australian native tree, a type of wattle called the hakea. There is just one way for it to spread its seeds and propagate: only bushfires open its seed pods. No other way. So what looks to some people like destruction is actually the only way this great tree can survive and spread.’
Vegemite Vindaloo is a novel about the twists and turns in the life of an Indian family of three and a pilot named Steve Cooper.
