Quecia!!!

Friends, Amazons, and fellow countrywomen, lend me your ears. Our Roman Amazon Quecia has been voted as the Amazing Amazon for January!!! She is a bubbly, spirited Amazon who loves making others laugh and brings fun and joy to the forums!

 Amazing Amazon for February 2009 
Tara!!!

Whether it was by email or posting in the forums, Tara has been chatting up a storm this month. Her Tavita posts this past month have been so much fun to read and she always is quick to send out love and healing energies to whoever needs it. Her infectious courageous spirit has bolstered the tribe. So let’s hear an ear shattering round of applause for Tara!

 Amazing Amazon for March 2009 
Sykaara!!!

In the past few months, Sykaara has really shown us all just what being a true sister and Amazon is all about. She went to visit Thisbe and stayed with her through sickness and health and even through the death of Thisbe’s father. Now home alone, she continues to help her sisters helping Paidi find a place to stay during her time in the USA. Through it all, she trying to get her GED and struggling with her own family over it. We all know she will persevere and continue to show us what being Amazing is all about.

 Amazing Amazon for April 2009 
Kiran!!!

I waited until the last minute to send Kiran this because she’ll know before everyone that she’s been chosen as the AA. Kiran has been struggling in her country with oppression, strife, and a government that doesn’t care about its people so much as it cares about lining its own pockets. In recent months, she’s lost her own personal computer and access to the internet but didn’t falter in her posting or her newsletter duties. Then her company decided to tighten its belt and deny her online access from work. Still, she manages to post regularly including her always welcome jokes. She also continues to make this newsletter shine with articles from everyone, done on time, and cared for with love. Thank you Kiran, for all you do even when I know you’re struggling every minute to do it.

 Amazing Amazon for May 2009 
ELINA!!!

We’ve had a slow posting month and Elina really tried to keep things going. I applaud her efforts to keep the forum interesting and moving, even when it got stuck. Good work, Elina!

 Amazing Amazon for June 2009 
Paidi!!!

With a smile and a cheery hello, Paidi always seems to carry the sunshine in her pocket. In addition to being warm and friendly, she works hard at her school work and her own personal interests. She’s worked hard this month on her RPF posts and still kept us laughing and chatting when away from Themiscyra.

 Amazing Amazon for June 2009 
Faela!!!

This month’s Amazing Amazon is: FAELA! Nominated by her sisters, this wonderful Amazon has been the source of no less than SIX WFA’s this month ALONE. That speaks volumes to me, and I know it does to you. Always a source of creative inspiration, she never turns away a sister who needs to talk - even when headed to her own bed. Congratulations, Faela!

 Amazing Amazon for August 2009 
Valkyra!!!

I chose Valkyra this month because she is one of the quieter but firm backbones of this tribe. She never fails to meet her minimum requirements, has contributed interesting articles to the newsletter since it was formed, and has a core of feminism that the rest of us can learn from. While she’s not a whirlwind of activity, her dry humor surprises and cheers our spirits and her leadership qualities can never be denied. As beautiful inside as she says her character is out, Valkyra is someone we can all admire.

 Amazing Amazon for September 2009 
The Founders!!!

This month's AA goes to THE FOUNDERS. Even though Celosia, Medea and Thalia are no longer 'part' of the tribe, they remain the spirit behind everything we do here. Without them, there wouldn't be an “us”. We'd all still be cruising the net trying to find a fabulous group to be creative with. Instead, we have each other. This is in no small part due to them. Thank you, Celosia, Medea and Thalia! We miss you!

 Amazing Amazon for October 2009 
Willow!!!

Willow went above and beyond at the end of last month to create calendars for the rest of the year, and for all of next year already too! She’s done most of them throughout the year as well and her artistic talent has been growing as she’s made them. In addition, she’s been working on her Nok’tana story and her personal fiction story. On top of all that, she’s one of the brightest and happiest Amazons and enjoys spreading joy in any thread she visits.

 Amazing Amazon for November 2009 
Alexandra!!!

This month we celebrate Alexandra and her posts! Alexandra has been a member of the community for a long, long, long time…and she always meets her posting requirements. In a flurry of posting this month, she’s exceeded her own personal top RPF posting best. Even without her flurry, she’s always a steady chat poster and among the first to post about celebrations and requests for support. She’s one of the backbone’s of our tribe and I’m happy to name her AA for November!

 

 

And chosen by the Amazons for 2009 - the Amazing Amazon of the Year

TARA

From the votes:

This woman is amazingly wise and smart. She really holds a treasure full of knowledge that I take good advantage off *grins*. She has the heart of a lion! She honestly cares for the tribe and whishes it nothing then the best. I think this woman is gold!

It was a tough choice but my vote goes to Tara, She's a constant source of encouragement, support, humor, affection and creativity. She's a wonderful poster, and a wonderful woman to talk to. So, Tara has my vote this year :) 

Hey! I want to give my vote for Tara. She's always been a sweetheart and I think she's a wonderful courageous woman and I'm very proud to call her a sister!

TARA. :-) Because she's had to put up with so much this year. She's been a solid rock of calm and reason throughout a year of turmoil and has ALWAYS looked for the greater good in each of us.

I think Tara would be an excellent choice.

For My Part - I really couldn't agree more. She's more than an Amazon in the forum, she's an Amazon outside of it as well. She lives off the earth and shares with us all in the ways of plants and herbs; she volunteers with women in her area; and she isn't afraid to stand up and take the hard paths when they know they must be walked. Congratulations, Tara!
