Wow, I’m excited! I’ve just received my first blogging award since hanging out my shingle here in cyberspace (with my “scratch” blog because I couldn’t make my intended blog “pretty enough” quickly enough for my taste and I was tired of sitting on the sidelines while others wished aways their Wednesdays.. :) What a lovely award to win, too.. a Beautiful Blogger award! Bestowed upon me kindly by Lis of Dandelion Seeds and Dreams who has a lovely, introspective. heart-opening blog herself! Thank you so much Lisa, this is a high compliment!
The requirements for accepting this award are as follows:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award.
2. Pass this award along to 15 bloggers you’ve recently discovered and whom you think are fantastic!
3. Contact the bloggers you’ve picked and let them know about the award.
4. Share seven (7) things about yourself.
I’m really bad with rules. Really. You know those forwards that say forward this now to everyone you’ve ever met or your dog will die? Yes, that’s why I hate rules. So I am picking some favorites here because I want these bloggers to know their blogs ARE indeed beautiful.. and that there are no strings attached. I suspect some of you will follow the rules (like I did despite my rebelliousness) and hence keep this blog award going. I think that should be enough! No obligations, just accept my love!

Okay, so seven things about me:
1. I can’t swim. I failed swimming lessons multiple times as a kid and have a fear of being underwater.
2. Despite #1, I want to learn how to surf (obviously I’ll need to learn to swim first, I’m not crazy!)
3. I won the spelling bee for my school in 6th grade, and went to regionals. I was so terrified that I drew a blank when the gave me the word “wheeze”. I think I spelled it “ouise”!
4. My first apartment on my own was across the alley from the house my mother was raised in (and it is believed that my grandfather, a contractor, built it). It had long since changed hands, and I actually inquired about an apartment in it, but the landlord would not accept cats.
5. My childhood nickname was Wompy.
6. I have some Native American (Canadian, really) blood running through my veins, Mi’kmaq, from my paternal grandfather’s side.
7. I am a total information junkie, and I always fall for the lure of free e-books, reports etc. I also keep all emails from my family and my best friend and have some old ones printed out and going back to 1998.
