Very Inspiring Blogger Award

Posted by asizCreatives on February 8, 2013 · 4 Comments 

I was just nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award by Inspiring The Girls. I’m thrilled that my musings have moved her to give me such an honor. It makes my newly found rejuvenation for my blog mean all the much more. Even though she is new to the blogging experience, I’m excited to see what she’ll post next. If only I had known someone like her when I was a young girl, it wouldn’t have taken me so long to know my worth! Thank you for the nomination as well as your writings.

My life has been a battle with one disease after another trying to knock me down. After 30 years, I’ve learned to embrace my “C’s”. I write to inform, to vent, to inspire, and to let other sufferers know that they are not alone in the fight.

There’s always a catch… here’s the rules.

1- Display the award logo on your blog

2- Link back to the person who nominated you

3- State 7 things about yourself

4- Nominate 15 bloggers for this award and link to them

5- Notify those bloggers of the nomination and the award’s requirements.

7 Things About Me:

1- I’m married to Chris and have 2 sons, Alec (12 years) and Ian (6 years).

2- Not a day goes by that I don’t listen to music.

3- I love all types of music but, I’m a rock girl at heart.

4- My eyes are my best feature. (When they’re not sunk in from being sick.)

5- I’ll try anything, within reason, once.

6- I have a total of 11 tattoos and 10 piercings at the moment. (More tats to come eventually.)

7- My motto is to “Rise Up Above It”.

And in no particular order, these blogs inspire me:

1- Caring for Crohns (Rebecca is the wife of a Crohnie and her blog is devoted to the loved ones of sufferers.)

2- A Guy With Crohn’s (Jeffrey simply tells his story just like me.)

inspirational.)
