Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award...My Choices!!!



I'm truly blessed...I've been nominated for another blog award.  I've received the award "Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award", which is to encourage the spirit of sisterhood.  Faith & Fibromyalgia nominated me for this award...and, she has an amazing blog about Christian living with Fibromyalgia.  I truly love her blog as she is very informative as well as full of compassion regarding chronic illness and its impact on one's life.  I urge you to go and show her some love...you won't regret it!!!

Here are the rules:
1.  Thank the giver.
2.  Post 7 things about yourself.
3.  Pass the award onto 7 other deserving bloggers and inform them that they have been nominated.
4.  Include the logo of the award in a post or on your blog.

7 Things About Me:

1. I've never met or heard of anyone with the same middle name as mine.  I'm unique :)
2. I've received 2 different college degrees, and almost completed one more degree(pulled out before finished because I realized I didn't want to complete...3 classes short).  I have a BSW in social work, paralegal certificate, and like I said 3 classes short of Masters of Education in Curriculum and Education.
3. I used to be deadly terrified of needles (literally passed out after receiving shot once at doctor's office).  I had to get over this phobia FAST as I have gotten poked and prodded on so much in the past five and a half years.  I even learned how to give myself shot at one point (not that I liked it).  
4. I love to read.  
5. As a piggy back on #4....In addition to the Bible, my favorite authors are: Danielle Steel, Nicholas Sparks, Beth Moore, and inspirational and devotional books.
6. I LOVE mashed potatoes and mac n' cheese...I go on streaks (especially when I'm having really bad "flare ups") that I could eat them all the time.  However, I am forced encouraged to eat protein with them as well.
7.  I purchased and lived in my own home for 4 years prior to getting married to my husband.  When we got engaged...I had to sell it, and I sold it WITHOUT A REALTOR while we were on a vacation in New Mexico!  I doubt that would happen in this real estate climate...but, it was "kind of" awesome!  Oh yeah...and, it was an "all cash" offer with no contingencies.


My 7 Lovely Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Nominees:
Ohhh....I want to nominate more!!!  Since I recently passed the "Sunshine Award" on to some of my other fellow bloggers, I decided to pass this award onto some additional bloggers that I was unable to include....And, I STILL have more that I wish I could nominate :)!  These are some wonderful women, as well as some top notch blogs!  I'm proud to pass on and nominate each one of these lovely ladies/blogs for the "Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award".  I encourage you to check them out, and let them know that I sent you.

I want to again thank my friend @ "Faith & Fibromyalgia" for the nomination.  I feel blessed to be nominated.

Blessings,

  4. Hi Erin,

    Thanks so much for the award and I had fun learning a little more about you! I haven't been diagnosed with firbomyalgia...but I have Hashimotos and sometimes I wonder if I have firbo or if it's all from the Thyroid problem. Anyways...I can relate to those that have it!

    I too am now curious about your middle name! lol

    1. I was more than happy to give you the award, Candace. I have enjoyed your blog tremendously! Something that is very interesting...I had my thyroid removed in June. Now, they are trying to get my meds straight due to lack of thyroid...it has NOT BEEN FUN!!! Anyway, you do probably experience some similar symptoms. Thanks for being such a blessing for me :)
