Erika’s Questions

1. What is your favorite movie?

My favorite movie right now has to be Breaking Dawn Part 2 (Yup!)

2. Whose life story inspired you most?

Facts or Opinions?

It has become quite the struggle to figure out some facts about myself. The first time I ever received an award it was hard! The second time was a little easier. But goodness I think I am running out of facts. Haha

Are you even sure they are facts? 😀

Just kidding! I totally provide nothing but the truth on my random facts for awards, my rants, my life and more.

Most of the awards I received have been doubled. There was another one that I received from before. I am forever grateful, but I try not to do them again to avoid sounding like a broken record.

With this I must add that it is super fabulous that these ladies have considered me! Erika, Lisa and I.S. 

I won’t post any rules or logos because for the Sisterhood award, Creative Blogger and Encouraging Thunder award I have done them already so you shall find them in the awards section on the right sidebar :).

Lisa’s Questions for the Sisterhood Award

1. Who is your favorite person in the world and why?

My favorite person has to be my best friend in ATL right now. He is just the bomb and I miss him a ton. If nobody else gets me, he does. 

2. Do you have a favorite sport team?

My fav sports team used to be the Lakers. That was in the 90s but I don’t watch basketball anymore so I guess not. 

3. What is your go to meal that you cook to impress?

I haven’t cooked in a while, but my fav to impress is white rice, string beans and corn mixed with seasoned pork chops. 

4. What does your idea Sunday look like?

My Sunday is usually spent blogging and catching up on other’s blogs. I also do laundry and other stuff.

My Questions:

1. If you describe or picture your inner soul how will you describe it?

My inner soul is a young, creative, inspiring and caring soul. It loves to support friends with a listening ear and jokes to see a smile. My soul features a mind of its own as it has that great work ethic that shows throughout my days at a job and I want nothing but the best for myself. It provides me courage and strength to take on tasks that I would probably never have done otherwise. My soul is fun and full of life!  

Stay Guarded! Thunder is headed Your Way!

As I stumbled upon WordPress on this Tuesday Morning because I couldn’t go back to sleep at 7:30 am (too early for the screen and to be online I know), I found this gem right here. I was almost scared as I am not a fan of thunder. Haha It has also been one rainy week! Ugh I hate rain. It makes me just want to cuddle in my bed all day. Good thing for this blog however, thunder is acceptable. So with that being said……..

Thank you to the great and Fabulous Carolina over at YesterdayAfter for thinking about me when receiving this award! She seriously is one of the best jewelry designers I’ve seen as they all come from her heart. Not only that but her energy is displayed in her blog. She has such a charming soul, a great writing voice and she is just the sweetest. If you haven’t checked her out, please do. Just hover your mouse over her blog name to explore. I am very glad to have her as a follower and someone I follow as well in this lovely community! 🙂 ❤

Now on to The Rules:

• Post it on your blog.
• Grant other bloggers the award.What you cannot do:
  • Abuse or misuse the logo.
  • Claim that it is your own handmade logo.

  What you should do after receiving the Encouraging Thunder Award:

  • Enjoy the award!
  • At least give thanks via comments, likes and/or mentioning the blog that you received the award from.
  • Mention your purpose in blogging

  My purpose in Blogging:

• I’ve probably answered this a million different ways and you’ve seen the same answer. Soooo here’s a new tip, I was having a bad 2014 when I said I needed something that will make me happy.I was damn near walking around with a smile on my face daily, but feeling so lost and hurt and confused on the inside all the way into Jan 2015. It was the year my family chose not to include me as a family and push me out completely so now I don’t even want to claim my last name….but more on that is coming in the future. I needed something that I can invest my time in and feel proud of something that I have done on my own. Something I can look at and say, “Girl, you are well on your way.” I live in a dog eat dog state – not world! It is full with competition everywhere and all I want to do is be noticed. Perhaps if I am lucky, a publishing company will finally notice me as I blatantly add to my resume that I am a freelance WordPress writer! I am trying to be patient. I blog for the soul purpose of me. I blog for the friends that I have made that help me and encourage me to write new posts every week. I blog, so that one day I can see my name in bookstores as a bestseller. I blog because I am also slightly addicted to it. Is that weird? Blogging has become my home away from home and I could not have been more happier than this. Choosing WordPress was the best option I could ever make when I looked at “him” and said, “Hey I want to start a blog. Think that will help my English degree?” So thus 53 posts ago came Shade But No Shade in Jan 2015, and she will be here for a pretty long time.

Yay to Award Season! – Blog Tour Award!

Thank you a ton to the lovely Dorkchops! Her blog is full of fabulous beauty topics and lifestyle posts, I suggest you take a look! 🙂

The rules:

1. Pass the tour on up to four other bloggers.
2. Give your nominees the rules and a specific Monday to post.
3. Answer four questions about your creative process which lets other bloggers and visitors know what inspires you to do what you do.
   • How does my work differ from others in my genre?
   • How does my writing/creative process work?
   • Why do I write or create what I do?
   • What I’m working on at the moment?
4. Compose a one-time post on a specific Monday (date given from your nominator).

1. How does my work differ from others in my genre?

Good question! My work is more random thoughts on topics everyone can relate to. I love adding images to express it even more. I also try to engage the readers in my content by asking questions. While some post on their day to day lives, I post on thoughts I’ve had sitting on a Word document itching to be addressed!

2. How does my writing/creative process work?

My writing process is simple: I crack open the page, think about how to start and then it takes off. My fingers and my mind knows how to collab to create a great piece and I don’t stop until it feels complete. Music is optional to motivate me more or a cup of tea/coffee. 🙂

3. Why do I write or create what I do?

I have been a writer since I was a little girl. I write/create to own my writing skills and to motivate myself to get the work done that I want to accomplish! I have become invested in getting to know others as well as letting them get to know me. I do what I do for you besides for myself?

4. What I’m working on at the moment?

I am working on the Project 10 stories right now until school is over and she is on her way to JHS! 🙂 🙂 As well as those 3 novels that will be happening!

The Monday I choose for the nominees is June 1st! Post anything you want on this particular day! Just pingback your own Blog Tour Award post on that day! 🙂 

My nominees are:

The V-Pub

Imperfect Girl

Smiley Like I mean It

The Girl In Glasses

Priya

Sophie

Anne

Please check them out! All these bloggers are great writers!
