Moot Thoughts & Musings: I actually got a blog award nomination!

In the Blogosphere, usually at the end of the year, various awards get handed out by various websites, usually through a nomination process--i.e. your blog gets nominated enough, and you get an award. I've never gotten an award. I feel like I have a solid blog, but not necessarily a distinctive one, know what I mean? I don't really care. But for the first time this year, my blog became a sort of hotbed of discussion. It kind of freaked me out a little bit, because I'm not really a rabble rouser. The big discussion was: we got a CI for our deaf 2yo, but we're raising him bilingually/biculturally. He goes to the local Deaf school and we use ASL, as well as jaunting off to speech therapy. we are a hearing family. I have met very, very few people who approach the deaf thing and the CI thing quite like we do. Not everyone--Deaf or hearing--really understands where we are, but we try to be honest.

So I got a blog award nomination from the great site of Deaf blogs/vlogs, DeafRead: 2007 Hearing Ally blog. This just makes my day.

Whoops: it's just award nominations. But still. It feels just as cool.

Wish you good luck! My several friends told me about your blog and they like your style...We met each other on a popular deaf online community site deafromance.com. You can get in touch with many deaf people in your area through dearomance...

you deserve it! you are a hearing ally. if nothing else, you're educating a lot of hearing people (like me) about the politics of being deaf.
