And the nominees are…

Hi friends of the interweb. How are you all feeling right now?

A while back this wonderful person whom I have never met but probably would be friends with in the real world: The Trans-Atlanticsisterhood commented on my blog and for some crazy reason nominated me for both the Versatile Blogger Award and the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. While I was surprised (and also wondering if this was some sort of a joke), I understand that it is a compliment and in essence a gift, and when you receive either one the correct response is to say:

There are rules to this (I have no idea who started this), but here they are:

RULES

1. SHOW THE AWARD ON YOUR BLOG:

Voila:

2. THANK THE PERSON WHO NOMINATED YOU: 

Thank you, The Trans-Atlanticsisterhood, for reading my blog. You should know you motivate me to write.

3. SHARE SEVEN FACTS ABOUT YOURSELF: 

1) I have moved over 29 times in my life, a few times across the country and across the world

2) I recently tattooed a heart on my own ring finger as my own “wedding” ceremony. A reminder that I need to love and commit to myself and my own needs first and no one else can do this for me, but me.

3) Years ago I read the entire Twilight series in less than a week and was determined to find a vampire who could bite me and make me turn into one. I told my friends I was going to go in all of the alleyways late at night until a vampire found me. They told me that wasn’t a good idea for obvious reasons. Oh, and I believe mermaids and fairies are real.

4) My whole life I have struggled with depression and often I would feel envious of people who can just be happy all the time without struggle. My friend Charlie (RIP) was one, the best example of real happiness and what a strong family love can do for a person. Trust me, I completely understand how beautiful Life is but much like all of my art forms, I work extremely hard to stay both positive and happy every single day.

5) I have not owned cable T.V. since I first left home at age 14

6) I have somewhere over 16 journals/diaries/adventure notebooks

7) My ultimate dream is to become a millionaire/billionaire so I can spend my entire Life helping people in need and do Love Projects all of the time.

4. NOMINATE 15 BLOGS:

When I first got nominated I had no idea who I could nominate because I had literally just started this blog. But recently I was invited to be a part of a Zero Waste Bloggers Network group by a woman name Inge, and because they are all inspirational to me I nominate all of them. Yes, I realize there is more than 15 but I’m a rebel like that and this is my way of sharing with you all of them:
