World Pulse Spirits Awards: Encourager - Arrey Echi did it again this morning



I wouldn't be on World Pulse today had I not visited her home last year and seen a world pulse frame. I think it was an award or certificate of completion of some program done on a small but beautiful wooden frame - or should I say sculpture? I was her host because we had previously connected on Facebook and I was so looking forward to meeting her during my next trip to her city. I casually asked if she could host me for 4 days and 3 nights and oh my she said yes. I remember being fed and pampered until I bloated.



I am talking about Arrey Echi and I am nominating her for the encourager Award. Yesterday, I read her nomination for Nakinti and I seconded that with a comment, and she encouraged me to do my own nomination today because it was the last day or so. Now the hurray here is that her encouragement to do a nomination got me to do 3 - see how powerful it turned out to be? and yet, I had honestly been distraught that out of the 1st three nominations I had made, two were not qualified because they were judges.



Arrey speaks up for what she cares for, which is breaking the sickle cell anemia stigma with her. She is soft spoken you would want to just read her lips while she talks. I could write on and on, most of the time I go to that city I try to connect with her somehow. 



Many others can attest to this, I have seen other nominations for her, and I really wish the best with this and much more.



Thank you dear Arrey for the spirit you have - one which truly makes it a 'Joy 2 Endure' even an unpleasant and threatening situation like yours.
