Some super cool bloggers nominated me for Sunshine awards. It’s an honor. Thank you. I’ve enjoyed getting to you know you all more as we’ve shared our posts and thoughts and laughs. Hmmm…writing an acceptance speech is different….not something I’m used to…and I’ve been rather teary-eyed lately. (O menopause take me, I’m waiting!)
Teary in a good way. After the pain, the relief. And what a relief!
Why did I start blogging?
Well, it was clear to me back-up singer for Motley Crue wasn’t going to happen. (Although that is still a fantasy). There was a splinter in my thumb that needed to come out…and the caterpillar compelled me. Ok, ok…I started blogging because I was a total mess and needed a place to put my life in order; to give purpose to the suffering I experienced growing up, and make it art. Art needs sharing lest it becomes stagnant.
Thanks to all the WordPress team for making this platform available! Besides a few minor annoyances—it’s super cool and you all do a great job!
How do I want to be remembered when I die?
“A ray of sunshine”
On a dark and stormy day;
After the storms pass. Thanks for this, Rachel!
But more likely I will be remembered as the one who didn’t follow rules so well…
Three books that every man should read?
The Art of Seduction by Robert Green
Dante’s Divine Comedy
The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman
What is your favorite color?
My favorite color is multi—goes with everything.
This is where it gets interesting. This is a list of awesome bloggers in no particular order who have either nominated me—or I would like to nominate. There is over lap. And I know I’ve forgotten some–sorry it’s not intentional–please add your name to the list! Check them out—each has something unique to offer. And if you would like to participate–I ask you the same questions.
