It’s Lovely to be Recognized …

Thank you to my fellow bloggers: Whitney of A Serendipitous Happenstance and Amanda of By Amanda Leigh for nominating me for the One Lovely Blog Award. I am flattered because both blogs inspire and encourage me in my writing journey as they share their journeys.

The rules for accepting this nomination are:

Link back to the blogger who nominated you.
Post the blog award image on your page.
Tell 7 facts about yourself.
Nominate 15 other blogs.
Let the nominees know they been chosen.

Seven things about me:

Success and failure incite the same emotions in me: fear and anxiety.
Parenting is the single most difficult job I’ve ever had and it’s the only one I won’t ever quit.
I recently found two brand new pairs of shoes in my closet. Both are at least two years old and never been worn. Not sure how that happened. This week will find me wearing them.
I am a packrat … thankfully my husband is not. And only have my house is cluttered.
Please don’t touch me, speak to me, or look at me funny until I am on cup of coffee number two. I am NOT a morning person. I need to ease into my day.
Typically, I prefer the book to the movie except for In Her Shoes. My favorite line: “When I feel bad I like to treat myself. Clothes never look any good, food just makes me fatter. Shoes always fit.” So you’ll usually find me in the shoe section not clothing.
When I focus on writing things that I perceive will be received well … it creates fear and anxiety. Only I don’t have control over the outcome: Success or Failure. So forgive me if I just create without regard for receptivity.

In attempts to share the lovely I won’t be nominating my usual suspects. My favorites are always honorary nominees for me whether I specifically name them for an award or not. You can see them in my blogroll and they are definitely worth the visit.

Today, instead, I will nominate blogs that I’ve recently visited or may have only visited once or twice. They are worth taking a look at, so please show them some love:
