"When one has made his demands upon the universal, he must be ready for surprises.  Everything may seem to be going wrong, when in reality, it is going right."    – Florence Scovel Shinn

Like gold stars in a first grade classroom, business awards are wonderful tools of recognition for a job well done.  Today I wanted to give a shout of kudos out to two people who have become good friends through the Central Iowa Bloggers network.  They were both recognized with well-deserved awards this week.

Angela Maiers of Maier Educational Services is a stellar communicator.  An educator with a real heart.  She was awarded the "Best New Blog" award from Orbit Now! and Troy Worman   Way to go!

Timothy Johnson, owner of Carpe Factum Consulting, is smooth as a writer and as a speaker.  He received the "O Blog" award from Troy Worman. Super job!

I have put a gold star on my leadership chart for both of you.  Congratulations.  Thanks for brightening the world with your words of wisdom!
