In the midst of grieving over the passing of our loving Papa,I came across a comment that lit up my energy in an instant.
It was from my new
friend Jamie over at Being
Positive with a Depressive Soul.
The dear heart has
nominated me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award!
I have to admit that, after receiving 7
Liebster Awards in one week a couple of weeks ago, I have given up on trying to
accept them and do the work of nominating 11 blogs for EACH AWARD I received.
Let’s face it…. I am of course HONORED,
but that takes a LOT of time, and I do have to be a Mommy and Wife at some
point! J
So needless to say, I was thrilled to
learn I had received a brand new award!
RULES:
List 7 Facts about Yourself
Nominate 15 Other Bloggers
Since Jamie nominated me (and I happen to agree with her), I will
follow her lead and only nominated 5 blogs, instead of the 15.
Here are my 7 Random Facts:
1. Becoming a Mommy has made me a
stronger and better me, giving me the ultimate empowerment, making me feel like
there isn't a thing in this world that I cannot do.
2. I LOVE to
upcycle/restyle things… Specifically right now, I make totes, purses,
headbands, necklaces and MORE from used shirts, sweaters & skirts. Check
out our store!
3. I truly
believe that we can each change the world, one person at a time, by simply
offering compassion, a listening ear, positive perspectives, or even just a
smile any chance we get.
4. I’m obsessed
with drinking smoothies! It’s SUCH an
easy (and YUMMY!) way to get loads of fruits, veggies & protein in your
body. (for protein I use Hemp Seed Hearts… 13 grams of protein in only ONE
teaspoon!!!)
5. Instead of
stressing about content or how many posts I still need to make in a week, I
follow a simple rule… Each post I make on my blog is meaningful and comes from
the heart. If I have to force it, I close my laptop and try again later. It’s the best and only way, in my opinion, to
keep readers coming back for more, because they need to FEEL your words, not
just read them.
6. After fleeing far,
far away from the South (born and raised there), the only thing I miss (besides
my family) are the incredible thunderstorms that make the hair on your arms
stand up, and the heavy rain on a tin roof. Ahh…..
7. I like waiting
until no one is here but me and my little man, and then turning on some music
and dancing all over the place. J It’s a great workout but… It is also simply good for the
soul.
I award the following 5
blogs the Very Inspiring Blogger Award:
Please show some LOVE to these wonderful bloggers, and be sure to let them know we sent you!!!
