It's February, the anniversary month of WhatTheJules.Com. It's hard to believe that this site has been going for a year. Before I was here, I was over on Tumblr, posting pictures, and randomly posting my thoughts on all kinds of things. My friend Chris kept telling me I needed to do more. I wanted to, but I was afraid. I was afraid I would put a lot of effort into something that no one would care about, and that ultimately, I would feel foolish.

When I started here, it had not been that long since another Julianna and I had started using the term "Chronically Awesome", and it was really catching on. Jewles and Jules, what were the odds? I'll tell you that odds have little to do with it, when there is that much awesome it takes two Julianna's to contain it. And now, look at you guys! All of you out there in the no whine zone that is the world of: Chronically Awesome. I think it's pretty cool. 

And Chris was right, I should do this. I did do this. And, I don't feel foolish. I feel pretty good. Even if only 10 people read this site, I would feel good. But, I have come to learn that it's a hell of a lot more than 10. A hell of a lot more. 

Each of you have done something for me, each time you come here and read the words that I write, or Donna Kay writes. Or, any of the articles I have found and posted. When you tweet, or comment, you do something for my heart, and my soul. When you think that someone else may need to hear what one of us has to say, it means so much. I can't thank you enough for one fantastic year.

What I can do, is the only thing I think I am really really good at. I can give you something. But, since I can't give you all a gift, you have to help me figure it out. So here we go:

It's time to start nominating for the Inaugural "What The Jules Awards".

In the boards (click "boards" above) you will find a place to nominate Humanitarians, Bloggers, and Organizations you feel have contributed significantly to the Chronically Awesome community. You can nominate in each category by posting to that topic.

The fun part is that you will then be a part of the Chronically Awesome WTJ boards and can participate in the forums. You will also be entered in a chance to win a Barnes and Noble gift card for each nomination you submit. (maximum one nomination per award, per registered board user)

After nominations close we will begin a voting process. It's all up to you!
(I am not eligible to vote or to win)
