I was nominated for this awesome award – the Very Inspiring Blogger. Such a great title! Thank you Rebecca Bond!! If you don’t know or haven’t been to Rebecca’s blog, you can get to know her here. She is doing a wonderful story called the “Lethe Identity” where she takes suggestions for story elements from her blog commenters and incorporates them into her story. Such a brave soul! 🙂
Now back to the award.
The Rules:
1. Display the logo on your blog.
2. Link back to the person who nominated you.
3. State 7 things about yourself.
4. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the award.
5. Notify your nominees.
7 Thing About Me:
1. I love to handwrite in notebooks & journals and love choosing new journals. That first blank page is my favorite!
2. I’m a major geek and love gadgets and technology.
3. Superhero moves are my favorite, especially if there’s a tough chick kicking butt!
4. I love to sing but have a terrible voice – so I only sing when I’m alone.
5. I’m a list person – lists for groceries, lists for movies to watch and books to read, lists for songs to download, places to visit, restaurants to try, I have a very long password list, several to do lists, and now a list of lists.
6. I like vanilla ice cream with chocolate sprinkles or vanilla chocolate chip ice cream, but not chocolate ice cream. I still like chocolate milk though.
7. My favorite meal is arroz con gandules con platanos maduro (spanish rice with pigeon peas and sweet plantains) which I can only really get from my mom when I visit Puerto Rico. Yum! Now I’m hungry 🙂
My Nominations:
- Char Stastny of Joy in the Moments
- Sheila Hurst
- Jae from Lit and Scribbles
- Katie from Writer in Progress (which is such a great blog title!)
- The Write Niche
- Rachelle from A Rich Full Life
I know 6 does not equal 15 (my math skills are not that bad) but many of the other blogs I’d like to nominate have already received this award. So I’m keeping my list shorter than 15 and I hope you stop by these great blogs for a visit. I’m sure you will enjoy your stay!

Writing Pieces of Me 
I never used to like lists, but in the last few years they have become absolutely essential! One day I asked my doctor if it was possible to have dementia in your early thirties and he said, “Um, no. You are just busy. Start making lists.” And he was right, as doctors unfortunately always are. My point? Lists belong in my life, plus it’s fun to cross stuff off.

Katie, I have to admit that sometimes I go to cross something off of my To Do list and if it’s not there, I write it down just to cross it off. 🙂 Silly, I know but it gives me a feeling of accomplishment!

Good. I’m not the only one!

Thanks Carrie. Yeah I think I’m addicted to lists. I find lists in different places for the same topic with different items on it (books to read on my cell phone, books to read on my iPad, books to read on my computer). That’s when you know that strategy might just not be working. I’ve tried to get them all consolidated but I know I still have way too many lists.

Thanks for the award, Arlene. I like singing too, but only do it alone in my car (when it’s dark–can’t have other drivers think I’m nuts). And journals are fun, although in the last 2 years, I’ve put mine online because I type so much faster than I write. Boring, I know, but it works for me now. Enjoy some vanilla ice cream with chocolate sprinkles.

You’re so welcome! You know, right after I wrote that I start thinking that it might be about time to go out and choose a new journal. I’m getting close to the end of the one I’m currently using, so … 🙂

Congrats on your award. I am funny about lists. I start to keep them, but the minute I write them, I have it all memorized and then I never consult the list. I think it’s something to do with the act of writing that helps cement the words into my brain. Unfortunately, this neat trick of mine never worked with notetaking in school. Still had to study and study and study. 🙂

Writing helps me remember things too, usually, but I think my mind has too many things bouncing around in it to keep them all straight. Now my biggest challenge is to remember *where* I down a particular To Do – this list? or that one? 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

One can never have too many notebooks! And they don’t have to be expensive or fancy – they just have to feel right 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by!
