Me too Joe! I hope to be the next Juno, and win my first time out the gate.

I'm looking forward to winning the Nobel prize for literature and an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay (adapted from the literature I wrote). Double toast, a thank you speech, a beautiful gown, my husband in a gorgeous suit dancing our lives away...

I broke down my life-long Oscar fantasy, and realized the only things missing in my life were a fabulous evening gown and the permission to say thanks: http://parkbenchdaily.blogspot.com/2008/02/than...

But if you run across one of these with my name on it, call me:

Dear MoJo
The one award you can go in for is to be MoJo. The most beautiful and the most wonderful and the most MoJo you can be. Inside and outside. Wholeheartedly MoJo. Teaching Jade to shake hands so well is way more important than Miss Canada

I would like to identify a compelling need in my community and find such a creative way to rally people around the cause that it would make such a positive impact that I would win a Volunteer of the Year Award. Knowing that I had made a positive change in the lives of others would be enough reward in itself, but the recognition would feel warm and the knowledge that my example was being used to inspire other people to do good would be the icing on the cake.

That is truly rewarding all on its own...kudos.

No award. I want a simple, abundant life.

I'd like to win Miss Canada, specifically for the bathing suit competition (snort, chuckle). Kidding.

Interestingly, I can't think of an award - which is kind of pathetic. The idea of it also sort of freaks me out - the limelight frightens me just a tad. I swear, these daily Q&A's are a never-ending source of illumination for me...so very, very interesting.

Believe it or not I was actually nominated for a Governor General's Award for my MA thesis back in 1999. That would have been nice to win, but I think I got booted out very early in the selection process!

Since we're dreaming here, I would be honored to receive the Order Of Canada for contributing to and fostering Canadian culture, nurturing new talent and helping to further establish Canada as a world player when it comes to the arts.

And for the fireplace mantle...I would also like to have an oscar for best lead actress in a foreign film (my feature indy Canadian) and a best screenplay oscar - why not? Make it an efficient night: two birds with one stone.

Oh I would have to say a TED award too....for what I have yet to know but I love watching those podcasts. Also any sort of Humanitarian award or Entrepreneur award would make pretty darn proud.

Does your face light up when your daughter enters the room? If not, that's a good place to start. I wish someone had told me that when I had the chance to make it one my daughters memories of childhood.

I did okay but made mistakes. In the words of Maya Angelou, "When you know better you do better."

Such interesting awards. Love to see a photo of you on your horse!

What an inspiring award.

I love how mindful you are about the raising of sons. If more parents made this a focus of parenting, perhaps there would be no need for shelters for our daughters.

Kudos to you and may all the other things you wish for fall into place, effortlessly for you...

Miss Jennifer, you are so outrageous and need I say it... authentic.

Have you put a photo of you in the dress and one of an Oscar on a 'vision board' yet? Help us visualize this for you DM

Hi Ginger, Welcome, and where can we 'read' you?

My ultimate award would be for writing words that meant something to many..

Carrie, I love TED. I have two e-mails from that site, waiting for me to open. Always exciting isn't it? With the vision you and Danielle seem to have for this site, you are certainly eligible for the prize. I'll be watching..
