The Liebster Award

Golden-Circle

OMG!! Thanks to Anita from discoveringyourhappiness for nominating me for this award. I appreciate that she has taken the time to read my blog. She’s one of my favorite bloggers and the fact that she has read my blog blows me away.

I love her blog. It’s truly inspiring. I look forward to reading it every day. Check out her latest post: Staying Inspired.

Please bear with me. There was a few things I needed to learn to finish this post (which I will write about in my next post) and there’s a possibility that I did them wrong. Forgive me, but I couldn’t figure out the link part of it (and this is probably the most important part) so I didn’t link any of the blogs I nominated. I tried four times and then my menopause mad kicked in and I gave up. Any suggestions on how/where I can learn to do this would be greatly appreciated. I am already a week out on passing this award on and I didn’t want to take anymore time.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWER

1. Where abouts in the world are you from? I am from the United States

2. How long have you been blogging for? A year. The first six months was hit or miss because I let my fear hold me back. I was afraid that people wouldn’t like what I wrote or they wouldn’t read my blog at all. The last six months I have been blogging seriously and trying to post two times a week.

3. What does your morning routine look like? I work 2nd shift (2 – 10:30) so I usually get up between 8:30 and 9:30. I write for an hour. Shower. Call my husband. Make my lunch. Sometimes I write in my journal.

4. What do you do for self care? Breathe. Write in my journal. Try to eat healthier. Get enough sleep. I really need to get a pedicure. That’s one of my fav’s.

5. Lollies or Chocolate? Definitely hands down CHOCOLATE! My fav chocolate is M&M’s. My coworkers tease me because I think each color has it’s own flavor. I eat the brown one’s first, then the yellow, green, orange…

6. What a typical weekend looks like for you? We have our 5th wheel travel trailer on a permanent campsite about a half hour from where we live. My brother has a campsite next ours and my brother and sister-in-law have a site next to my brother’s. My family and my in-laws come to visit. My sister-in-law and I float on our floaties in the pond while the guys do projects at the camper. We usually fry out for supper and have a bonfire. This is part of my self-care.

7. What is one of your hobbies? Reading. fiction, romance, self help. I am a book whore who definitely doesn’t like sharing her books.

8. Places you’ve traveled? To the Bahamas on a cruise ship. The and The Disney. Disney has a an island, Castaway Cay, which is an old airstrip and very cool. It they had a hotel on the island I would stay there for a week. Beautiful, beautiful island.

9. Places you want to travel to? Istanbul, Turkey. I feel I have lived a past life there.

10. Where do I see myself in 5 years? Gosh, I really don’t know. I am 52 years now…. where do I want to be at 57? Hopefully I’m still breathing.

11. Where do you see your blog in 5 years? Who knows? Maybe I’ll get a book deal from my blog. Just kidding! 🙂 I honestly haven’t sat down and reviewed my goals in awhile. I still can’t believe I’m 52. I don’t know where the time went.

The reason I nominated the four bloggers below is because they are positive and their posts inspire me.
