Q2. If your one wish can be fulfilled, what would you wish for?

Good health for all my family

Q3. One thing you want to get rid of…?

Facial Hair … It must be an age thing but it’s definitely getting worse… YIKES!! 

Q4. Categorise these according to your priorities : Love, Fame, Money .

Love, Fame, Money..    

Love first without question!  I then decided that if I was a ‘famous author or blogger, this would automatically bring money…

Q5. Which do you think was your best post ever?! Add a link

New Beginnings…. This is a small post and to most probably pretty uninteresting but it was my first blog post and for me it marked the start of a fabulous new chapter in my life. It was written in March 16 and was the start of a year of massive positive change in my life and a fabulous ‘blogging’ journey where I’ve met some amazing people who I can genuinely call friends..  I suppose it’s not my ‘best’ post more my favourite post.. I hope that counts?

Q6. One thing you learnt from blogging..

That there are some amazing and incredibly kind, caring, supportive people in the World.. I’ve loved learning things about cultures and connecting with fellow bloggers across the world..

Q7. Who is your role model? (Who inspires you the most?).

Anthony Robbins has been a powerful inspiration in my life.. At the moment though I’ve been inspired into major change by Andy Harrington, who runs a brilliant motivational series of workshops and seminars… My mum has been a great source of wisdom and inspiration in my life too..

Q8. Which places do you love to visit?

I love visiting lots of new places here in the UK including Anglesey, Suffolk, Lincolnshire and the Lake District amongst just a few… We invested in a fab new tent last year which we’re looking forward to using a lot this year as soon as the weather starts to settle… We’ve also had some memorable and wonderful trips to mainland Spain over the last few years which we also love.. you can’t beat a bit of sunshine and I love the Andalucian Region..

Q9. Your hobbies?

I  love spending time with my 2 gorgeous granddaughters and I also love reading, writing and all things to do with development of the mind… NLP, Hypnotherapy etc..

Q10. How many blogging awards have you received?

3 previous awards including the Liebster Award, Blogger Recognition Award and Versatile Blogger Award. This Sunshine Blogger Award is just so positive sounding and I’m going to make this my last one and become an Award Free site.. Going out on a ‘high’!

Q11. Is vlogging in your plans?

Yes – I’m going on the Public Speakers University Course in London later this week and am hoping to improve my ‘vlogging skills’ and cut out the ‘ehm’s and ah’s’.. Watch this space!

And here are my 11 nominees…

Note to the Nominees: Please don’t feel obliged to take up the nomination as I know it can sometimes be hard to keep up with these and your blog..
