Thanks to John Grohol

I have literally been reading John Grohol since the earliest days of my diagnosis. He was an early voice of sanity and moderation in the online mental-health wilderness. Whenever I had a question about an element of treatment, I turned to him, and was always rewarded with good information.

Now I'm honored that John and crew have chosen me as one of the 10 best bipolar blogs on the web. If someone told me back then that I'd one day be honored on his website, I'd never have believed it. I wasn't even convinced I'd live another year, let alone accomplish anything that someone I so respected would want to pay tribute to. Sometimes it's hard to remember how far we come in recovery. This has been a pleasant reminder.

Plus, the description of The Trouble With Spikol is so nice, I plan to have it framed as well as tatooed across my stomach.

Please do visit this link to see it -- and to learn who the other honored bipolar bloggers are.

Great job, Liz! Congrats...

Very well deserved recognition, Liz. Well done!

Bravo, Liz!!

You keep on getting more and more awards. We TTWS fans are soooo proud of you.

Congratulations, Liz! This is obviously a great honor. But you should probably think twice about that tattoo thing - unless it's just one of those temporary tattoos that only last a little while. What if you get an even better award later on and want to put it there instead?

Go Liz, go Liz, go Liz ... ;-)
