Mystery Blogger Award 2020 & My Nominations

MYSTERY BLOGGER AWARD 2020 & MY NOMINATIONS

I am so honored and very grateful to have been nominated for the Mystery Blogger Award by Sharon Green. Sharon is the author and creator of thesharongreen.com blog. I am so very grateful to Sharon for her nomination of me and my growing blog for this award.

Sharon blogs about healthy living, mental health, life as a grandparent and travel, just to name a few. She has a unique way of sharing her own experiences along with research, and I truly love reading her words.

I recently joined an online blogging community and met Sharon there. Sharon has been extremely friendly, helpful and very encouraging. Connections like this are one of the reasons why I love to blog so much.

WHAT IS THE MYSTERY BLOGGER AWARD?

This award was created by Okoto Enigma. It was created as a way for blogs that haven’t been discovered to gain recognition.

“Mystery Blogger Award” is an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging, and they do it with so much love and passion.

3 FACTS ABOUT MYSELF

I am a beauty influencer/blogger and I absolutely love that I can take my interests and passions and turn it into something beautiful in order to make other women feel more empowered and beautiful also.
I was born as a Southern Belle and was raised in Alabama. Our family moved to Los Angeles, CA almost 2 years ago for my husband’s career. Before that, I have never made it past Texas. As you can imagine, this has been quite a change for our family.
I am a huge reader and will literally research things to death. I love to learn all about things that interest me and then teach those subjects to others. I also love to read for fun and get lost in pages of books!

SHARON’S QUESTIONS FOR ME

What is your favorite word in the vocabulary and why? (If not in English vocabulary please give definition) {this is my weird question} My favorite word would be lackadaisical. It’s a fun word to say and it’s something that I strive not to be.
What is one thing you hope to accomplish with your blog? I blog because I love to inspire other women. Life is so hard, and I feel that it is important to use your special gifts and talents to give back and make the world a brighter place. If my words can be helpful or bring a smile to your face, I feel accomplished at the end of the day.
Where (or from whom) do you find your inspiration for your writing/blogging? When I started my blog, I was going through a dark time. Our family had moved across the country, and I was homesick and lonely. Writing has always been very therapeutic for me, so I took the words that were on my heart and just started typing.
What brings you peace during the stressful days/times? Sometimes I just need to remind myself to step outside in the fresh air and take deep breaths. I can get worked up pretty easily, but nature always makes me feel more zen.
What is your favorite song and by what artist? My favorite song has always been “Don’t Stop Believin” by Journey. The lyrics are amazing, and I dare you not to dance when you hear the beat of the music!

MY FAVORITE POST

I received so many messages, comments and feedback in regard to the post I did on Life is Too Short for Small Talk and Fake Friends. This is one of those posts where I poured my heart into the page. As mentioned earlier, I was in a dark place when we moved away from the only home I have ever know. It really helped me write my feelings, and I hope you can relate to it as well.
