The Perpetual Passenger 
Nikki-
I have nominated your blog for the Liebster Award. My blog was recognized by another blogger and now, like any good communicable disease, I am passing it on to you. I really enjoy your blog and wish I could live in Paris someday. Of course I would have to learn more French than “Bonjour.”

Wow, Jon, thank you! I’m flattered and honored to have caught the disease. I now consider myself contagious, and look forward to spreading the disease to a few choice writers. Here’s hoping you get to live in Paris at some point… and in the meantime I’ll keep an eye out for when that unpublished novel hits the shelves. 🙂
Hey Nikki, just letting you know I’ve nominated you for a Sunshine Award! I had no idea what that was until this morning but I liked the idea of recognising and connecting inspirational bloggers around the world: http://free-to-dream.org/2013/04/02/winning-a-sunshine-award/
