There is one person at the moment who I would like to acknowledge and it is Karen Cannard the creator of the blog http://therubbishdiet.blogspot.com/
It is fanastic and I have not stopped thinking about her and it since I discovered it last week.
Go and read it and then I will tell you what I think.........
........Ok
In my course, acknowledgement comes up a lot, and every time I have a problem with the word. I have talked to a lot of other Europeans about this and most feel the same.
To say to someone "I acknowledge you for this that or another" just does'nt sound real coming from me. I believe in acknowledgeing and don't mind when people acknowledge me I just struggle to use the word myself and sound authentic.
So I have had to find other words to use like "I would like to compliment you on that" or "I would like to give you credit for what you just did" or just say thats excellent , well done.
Funny is'nt it. Maybe it is just a cultural difference?
Imagine if you were acknowledged 10 times a day. How would it make you feel?
So therefore I invite you to acknowledge 10 people a day.
That leads me to Karen. I saw her blog so I wrote to her and acknowledged what she was doing, that made her feel good and in return she wrote back and acknowledged my blog and now I feel good too.
Aswell as acknowledging I hope Karen's blog was inspiring to you, by acknowledging more and recycling more the world really could be a better place.

Clare - I just wanted to say a huge Thank You (or even Merci). And you're right about acknowledgment. Many often say that it's money that makes the world go around, but in my book it's actually the people and the positive differences that they can make, either as individuals or groups. Very best wishes, Karen x
