Holy Moly. In the space of a month I’ve been nominated for not one but two blogger awards: The Versatile Blogger Award and One Lovely Blog Award. Why doesn’t every year begin this way?
The rules: Thank the person who nominated you. Share 7 things about yourself. Nominate 15 bloggers. Notify the nominees. Put the logo of the award on your blog.
The wonderful blogs that nominated me are http://julianaleewriter.com/ (Versatile Blogger) and http://joeyfullystated.wordpress.com/ (One Lovely Blog). Juliana and Joey, thank you. Both of you rock.
With a nod to Vanity Fair, here are 7 facts about me.
- State of mind: Blissful. I was presented with 2 awards!
- Next move: Back to the drawing board. Oh, heck: I can’t draw. Back to the laptop key board.
- Listening to: http://www.radioparadise.com Nancy over at Laughing Maus — who is also a member of my writers’ circle here – turned me on to this commercial free, listener supported indie station. They play an amazingly eclectic mix of music. Check it out (you’ll thank me later).
- Trait I most admire in others: Grace under pressure.
- Trait I find saddest: Fear of change. Unwillingness to admit a mistake. I know that’s two traits, but I can’t decide between them.
- Weirdest personal trait: About two years ago, I began to wake throughout the night while dreaming. I can recall every dream in vivid detail.
- Current physical condition: Tired. I was up all night dreaming.

But really all my nominees could accept either – or both – as many have been nominated numerous times (for either. Or both.) They’re all terrific.
Now if you don’t mind, I need to go turn up Radio Paradise!
Wow and congratulations. Thanks for helping with my “addiction” by offering so many more options. Judy
They’re all terrific! The chance to promote all these blogs AND my favorite radio station were the reasons that convinced me to accept the awards.
Nice job. So many new blogs to check out.
I follow all these blogs… We’re in good company Shelley!
Congratulations on your much deserved awards!
Thanks Marilyn! It’s the company of bloggers like you that makes them meaningful.
Congrats to you and thank you so much for thinking of me…Michelle
It’s the reason I decide to respond to being nominated myself: it gives me a chance to promote the blogs I like. I knew your blog was going on one of those lists!

Hi Beth Ann, I’ll give you the same answer I gave Beth: The reason I respond to being nominated myself is that it gives me a chance to promote the blogs I like. I knew you were going on one of those lists!
So sweet! Thanks!
congratulations on your double luck and thanks for passing it on to me )
