I’m honored to have been nominated by Sally Cronin for the Versatile Blogger Award. Although my blog is Award Free, I thought I’d give this one a go.
The rules of the Versatile Blogger Award are as follows:
If you are nominated, Congratulations you have been awarded the Versatile blogger award!
Thank the person who gave you the award and include a link to their blog.
Select 10 -15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly.
Nominate those bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
Seven things about me you might not know…..
- I was in the wedding industry for 15 years before I decided writing is where I should have been all along. There’s a distinct possibility that a lot of my dark writing comes from this time period. While I was successful, I was not happy.
- I will never discuss, nor comment, on any political posts. I respect that everyone has an opinion, and I may agree or disagree with it. But I will not argue over it. I like my friends too much to ever have that split us up. 😉
- Hubby and I dated for two weeks before calling it quits in a not so nice way. Three years later, we met again, and have been together ever since. (38 yrs). This July, we will be celebrating 34 years married. Our friends all said we wouldn’t last. Guess we showed them!
- I have a very poor memory. It stems from my condition. I do not remember things you may have told me two minutes ago. This has proven to be quite a problem while trying to complete my novel. It takes me more time to reread everything, and I probably still won’t remember it. It’s very frustrating.
- I’m a huge fan of Winnie the Pooh, and Woodstock.
- My one goal in my life is to see the Northern Lights. I guess you could say it’s tops on my Bucket List! I have friends who take pictures of them all the time, and I find myself rather dreamy eyed looking at it. But if I start drooling, then it’s time for a straight jacket!
- I was a huge crafter, doing needlepoint, before I lost the ability of my left hand, to do so. I used to do craft shows all over New Jersey. I really miss it, and keep wondering if there is a way for me to attempt it again.
So there you have it. Kinda blase. Seven things about me you may not have known. Now it’s my turn to nominate 10-15 bloggers I think are versatile. I have never been one for following rules, so, I am opening this up to all of you, because as far as I’m concerned, you’re all versatile in your own way!! Have fun with it!
❤ , Dorinda

Congrats Dorinda! Loved the story about you and your hub. And I have been finding my instant short term memory gets bungled up too, but my longterm is in tact. Oh, and as a justice seeker, I find it difficult to hold back my political opinions. I try to contain myself on my blog, but my personal FB page is my personal page, so there I go. I notice who comments and who doesn’t lol and that’s absolutely fine. ❤

Thanks, Debby. I’ve just found through the years, it’s more peaceful to say nothing than to lose a friend over a difference of opinion. ❤️

Hearty congratulations, Dorinda. Our youngest son saw the green lights last year and waxed lyrical. “Best experience ever!” he said. Do hope you get to see them. xx

Northern lights are at the top of my bucket list too! We were talking about it the other night… Neat to know stuff… Love the end result of a first-time date gone bad. How wonderful it turned out to be. So glad you decided writing was your calling!

Thanks, Kevin! I envy those who live with those lights. Do you think they take them for granted? I don’t think I could ever do that.

Well, when I lived at the beach and watched the sunset and took pictures a neighbor siad I’d get used to it… I never did. The spledor remained and showed off everytime. So, I guess it depends…
