Every once in a while you come across an individual who is friendly, kind, supportive, witty, intelligent, humorous...pretty much just an all-around great person. In the blogosphere, people like that are harder to find because your interactions with him or her are usually completely online. Online it's even harder to be warm and friendly and to make a lasting impression. But that's not the case for Roxy of Roxiticus Desperate Housewives. I met Roxy, or Bree as she is affectionately known on her DH blog, after she was a little disheartened from a losing streak in Blog Explosion Battle of the blogs. I had a few words to cheer her up. After all, losing a round or two or three in Battle of the Blogs is NOT the end of the world. From the day we first exchanged comments and emails she's been warm, friendly, caring, helpful, and a bit of a mentor in new blog promotion tools and networks and overall the kind of person just in general that this world needs more of.
Every day we hear about so much negativity in the world, in our nation, in our neighborhoods. Negativity is amplified on the internet as news instantly travels the globe. That being said, it's so important to find the beauty and the brightness and the lights of hope that are out there.
A pulsar is a brilliant flashing star in the sky. The Pulsar Award honors those who add a bit of brightness to life. If bloggers everywhere can find pulsars, other beacons of hope and friendship and display them on their blogs, then we all can make this world a better place together.
There are beacons of light out there to guide us in the darkness. Pulsar Honorees are one more beacon of light.
Thank you, Roxy, for being a pulsar!
Thanks for reading.

Wow, Matt, I am so honored! We're expecting a foot of snow here in the Roxiticus Valley, so the girls' school was called off, but the snow hasn't started yet. I was just sitting here in my jammies when my Google sidebar told me you had a new post... and wow! It's all about me!
I agree with you that there is just too much negativity out there in the world, so I try to avoid blogging about it without sticking my head in the sand.
Thank you, thank you, thank you... I shall try to live up to being a pulsar.
Happy, happy holidays to you and your family.
Roxy
