You are so faithful to read and send encouraging words, and I am just simply blessed that you are enjoying my stuff. I am humbled, and my heart is full. Thank you. 💗😊

One Lovely Blog Award Nomination (part 2)

October 30, 2014 / The WheatandTares / 4 Comments

My apologies, first, because I received this nomination a week or so back, and I am just now getting around to posting! I have just been swamped with a few other things…but I am back now! 🙂

I have been nominated for a second time for the One Lovely Blog Award by Wanderlust. I am so honored to receive this twice when I am so new at all of this blogging. It’s so sweet that you think my blog could be One Lovely Blog. Thank you so much! I will try not to be redundant in my “facts” from the previous award posts, unless it’s just “really good stuff” that I think you might enjoy… 🙂

Here are the rules for One Lovely Blog:

Nomination Rules:

Thank and link back to the person who nominated you
List the rules and display the award
Include seven facts about yourself
Nominate around 15 other bloggers and let them know about the award (their About page is a good place!)
Follow the blogger who nominated you (if not already!)

7 Facts About Me:

I love Fall and Winter, even though, I am a very cold-natured person.
I love being a BoyMom! (read more about this, here.)
Sometimes, when I blog, I stay up W-A-Y past my bedtime, because I want to finish all the little details.
I love standing in front of a waterfall and just listening to the water hit the rocks and water below.
I would love to one day visit Ireland, Scotland and Italy.
I have a deep faith, and it has been weathered by many storms; yet, it stands strong and will anchor me till my last breath.
I am loving the life I live…the good, the bad and the ugly. (I just prefer to learn from, but not dwell on, the latter 2.)
One more random fact (“bonus!”), I have learned how to attach links now! … If you read my very first post for the Liebster Award, you will understand this a little better! 😉

Bloggers Whom I Nominate:

If I nominated you, and you do not accept or participate in these kinds of awards, I give my sincere apologies. I have not read this on any of these blogs; however, I have not scoured your pages in search of this restriction. I just think you have an awesome blog, and I’d like others to “hear” and read about you!

Thanks so much again, Wanderlust!

Happy Blogging to all! 🙂

I was born a premie but now I am 5 ft. 7 in. tall.

I love my life…the good, the bad and the ugly. (I just choose not to dwell on the latter 2.)
My favorite color is RED.
I tend to notice the “small things” in life…a single flower blooming on the side of rock-faced hill…the stray piece of lint on your black jacket. lol
I have a deep faith, and it has been weathered by many storms; yet, it stands strong and will anchor me till my last breath.

Nominate 15 Bloggers:

I am going to nominate 7 blogs which I think are really great, and almost all of them are fairly new to the blogging world; so, I hope you will check them out:

I am honored to be nominated for the One Lovely Blog Award by bipolarallie. Thank you so much to thinking my blog is worth this award. This is a very sweet nomination and a little bit of a surprise, I suppose, because after perusing through her blog, I noticed that our two perspectives are incredibly different, even opposing on some levels. However, I am still going to accept this award from her, because there is no reason to be rude and reject a gift, OR the gift giver, simply because you disagree with someone’s notes on their personal blog. I do, however, have to choose not to link directly to her blog, because I have several young readers who either come to my direct site or read this via email, and I want to be very careful who I am “endorsing” through my links and follows and how those links/follows may influence them. Is that okay for me to say…to just be honest and real here?

Again, thank you bipolarallie for this sweet opportunity. 🙂
