What a special time it is, to be nominated for two different awards on the same day. I would like to thank Ute smile for nominating me for the Sensual Blogging Award (feeling touched and inspired) and Fae’s Twist & Tango for the Reality Blog Award (Real, Energizing, Amazing, Lovely, Inspiring, Touching, Yippee!).
Both of these awards and blogs are a delightful blend of warmth, joy, and kindness. It is an honor to be recognized by each of these lovely women and I really appreciate it!
There are many who touch and inspire us by sharing their wonderful insights, knowledge and experiences, and many we haven’t met yet, or would like to know better. Awards are a great way to acknowledge and expand our blogging circles through the process of nominations.
Rules for the Sensual Blogging Award
- Visit and thank the blogger who nominated you
- Acknowledge that blogger on your blog and link back
- Answer 7 sensual questions
- Select some nominees and notify them on their blogs
- Copy and paste the award on your blog
Questions and Answers for the Sensual Award
- Most romantic memory – Being surprised with an engagement ring on the beach
- Most sensual music – Romantic music like “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton
- Most sensual season – The Fall season feels very cozy

Questions and Answers for the Reality Award
- If you could change one thing what would you change? I would add self-esteem and life skills courses in schools.
- If you could repeat an age, what would it be? age 18
- What one thing really scares you? The passing of a loved one
- What is one dream you have not completed, and do you think you’ll be able to complete it? To live near the beach, and host large seminar events on personal development topics which I do believe is possible.
- If you could be someone else for one day, who would it be? I wouldn’t want to BE someone else but I wouldn’t mind experiencing the influence and lifestyle of someone like Oprah Winfrey for a day!
Now, it is my pleasure to nominate the following blogs for both the Reality Blog Award and the Sensual Blogging Award! Feel free to choose just one!
