We’re Nominated and It Feels Good

The Veggie Awards are a great way to support the vegan folks out there working hard to bring veganism to you. Perhaps you will vote and perhaps it'll be for me. That would be cool, really cool.

What's in this post

This is the post where I tell you that Your Daily Vegan has made it onto VegNews annual Veggie Awards for Favorite Vegan Blog.  Pretty exciting stuff!  Lots of nominees are doing their best to spread the word about their own nominations- some through a simple blog post, some through putting a vote banner on every single post they write, and some have written long detailed lists of why you should vote for them.

I’ve been hesitant to write a post about the nomination for several reasons.  First, I feel awkward talking myself up like that- I’ve always felt that if I put out quality content then I wouldn’t need to tell you how awesome I am- you’d just know.  And honestly, after reading some blogs promoting themselves, I didn’t want to do the same thing.  That, and I try not to grovel* too much or ask you for things on this blog.

If you read this blog with any kind of regularity then you know what I’m about.  I’m about ethics, compassion, justice, respect, unity, community, and support for my fellow vegans.  I do this using a site I designed with graphics that I made, funds from my personal bank account, and many hours spent with my laptop.  I do this because I want to make a positive difference in the lives of animals.  I do this because I want to make a positive difference in your life.

The competition this year is tough.  These are some of the best of the best blogs that are out there!  I’m completely humbled to be on a list included with them.  You can vote by going here, it’s easy and simple to do.  It’s also a great way to show support for all the vegan folks out there working hard to bring veganism to more people.

Plus, when you vote you qualify to win tons of vegan stuff- really great vegan stuff actually.  It’s a win-win for everyone.  So if you haven’t already, please take the time to go and voice your opinion by voting.  And if you vote for YDV, well that would be great.  I’d really appreciate the nod towards the work I do.  I couldn’t do this without any of you, you are a vital part of not only Your Daily Vegan- but the vegan movement itself.

So, thank you and perhaps you’ll vote for me.  That would be cool, really cool.

* Did you know that a synonym for grovel is “lick someone’s boots?”  Riddle me this, why is it only boots and not other shoes?  And what’s up with those shoes on telephone wires?  Or the ones you find along roads and it’s only one shoe?  What’s up with that??
