When I was told about this, I was speechless. I felt like I just won an Oscar and I did not prepare an acceptance speech. All I could think to say was, "thank you."
FOT chose the movie poster from Eminem's movie, "8 Mile" for the badge design to signify this honor. How appropriate for a new blogger like myself. To quote a song from the movie: Eminem's "Lose Yourself", I have felt this way at times:
"...He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down"
only to pull it together and....
"... lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo"
So as this nice badge of honor sinks in, I think about winning that Oscar and how it's all so fleeting. Today you celebrate, tomorrow you get back to work, writing. I never want to take any of it for granted. I never want it to mean that I'm something that I'm not. In the immortal words of Cher when she accepted the Best Actress Oscar for Moonstruck: "I don't think this means that I am somebody. But I guess I'm on my way. Thanks."
