Today happens to be one of those day's where the weather is not an indicator of the good news that are bound to sprinkle-in throughout the day.
The first wave of good news was a early morning text from a fellow #llblog sister that confirmed the placement of our first #lallblog print ad in the East LA College Newspaper!
Take a peek of what it looks like in print here.
The second came in form of a non-descript email that simply stated "Congratulations You've been Nominated."
Sure.
Before I deleted what I thought to be the usual "request for partnership" or "urgent business relationship" email, I dared to open - and read it:
Hola Revolucionario,
You have been nominated for The Revolucionario Awards! The awards are taking place as part of The Social Revolución - An interactive movement of Latinos using social media as their platform to create and inspire change.
As a nominee, you have the opportunity to win the Revolucionario Award in one of three categories: The New American, The Mobilizer or The Innovator. Awards will be announced soon and will be presented at The Social Revolución Latino Lounge at SXSWi on March 12, 2012.
Check out your nomination, Los Comandantes (the official judges), and the other Revolucionarios creating and inspiring change. Congratulations once more and don't forget to share the news.
¡Que Viva La Revolución!
Yes my friends, the Latina Lifestyle Blogger Collective is nominated for a Revolucionario Award!
I'm proud.
Very proud.
