*** Thank you to everyone who voted! The winners have been announced here! ***
I’m SO excited to introduce the Blog with Heart Award!
I live my life with my heart on my sleeve. I share openly on my blog, and I try to always come from an authentic space of love and grace. I created this blog award because I want to honor others who are living their lives in this open, loving way, too!
I want to meet anyone and everyone who is bravely putting their soul into their blog – inspiring others to do the same. I feel really blessed that I have been able to receive so much beautiful exposure for my blog, and I wanted to create a space to give others the opportunity to showcase their hearts (and their blogs)!
The Blog with Heart Award will honor 25 bloggers who bravely share from their hearts.
I’m looking for those who express their truth. Who inspire. Who uplift. Who leave the pretenses behind and allow their true souls to step into the light. I’m looking for those special souls who know that life flows much more easily when we give to others. When we open our hearts and let love flow through us. I’m looking for the sensitive spirits and the inspiring souls who are lighting our world!
If this sounds like you, or if it sounds like someone you know, please nominate them!
♥ Here’s how to nominate someone:
1. Leave a comment below with the person’s name and their blog url that you are nominating.
2. Please share a couple sentences sharing why you would like them to win this award.
That’s it! 🙂
A few things to keep in mind:
1. You can nominate as many people as you would like, but please only nominate them once.
2. You definitely can nominate yourself!
3. When a blog receives at least 3 nominations, I’ll add it to the table below and they are officially in the running to win!
4. You can put this widget on your blog to help others nominate you, too:

I will accept nominations through December 31st at 11:59 pm pst, and I will announce the top 25 Blog with Heart winners in January!
♥ What Will the Winners Receive?
1. The first beautiful gift that you’ll receive is recognition for sharing from your heart and giving to others!
2. Everyone in the top 25 will be able to place this badge on their website to share this accomplishment with the world!
3. You’ll also receive an increase in traffic.
4. I’ll be offering the top 5 winners their choice of one of my ecourses to take for FREE, too!
5. In addition to receiving an ecourse of their own to take, the top winner will also get to give two of my ecourses to anyone they choose!
♥ How Are the Winners Chosen?
I’m going to do my best to be fair when deciding the winner. With that in mind, here is how I plan to choose:
1. 45% – Content – Is it heartfelt, authentic, vulnerable, and loving? / Do they give back in any way?
2. 25% – Nominations – How many votes the blogger receives
3. 15% – Community – How much do they interact with their community (through comments, social media, etc.)
4. 15% – Blog ranking – Traffic, Klout score, Alexa ranking, number of comments, subscribers, etc.
I will take all of the nominations and put them through this formula to decide the winner. There will be some subjectivity with determining how heartfelt the posts are and how much they are giving back, but this will give me a structure to help guide me.
I will choose 25 winners and will rank them in order with #1 being the top winner.
(Please know that this is just for fun and to help everyone get some extra traffic and recognition. In my mind, anyone who blogs from their heart is already a winner.)
♥ Here are the Current Nominees (in alphabetical order):

I will accept nominations through December 31st at 11:59 pm pst, and I will announce the top 25 Blog with Heart winners in January!
Good luck to everyone!
