Bee Love Award

I want to thank Prajjidna Daliman at The Alkana for nominating me for this award. This was his first nomination of an award, as it is my first nomination for an award. I’ve only been blogging since July, 2019 and have found it to be a much more rewarding experience than I imagined. The love that is shared from so many cultures is awesome! The differences and similarities of those from our area and around the world is so amazing to me. You know Ellen Degeneres says it best when she ends her show every day with “Be Kind to One Another”. Love is the kind of passion that I find within the WordPress community. I want to thank each and everyone who reads what I have to say and comments whether they agree or not. I welcome the positive and the negative because we can only truly grow with both perspectives. Love to all!

Love to me is family, friends, living our best life and surrounding ourselves with those elements that create a positive outlook on life ahead. Being able to do this through writing and photography fills my life to full. Being able to do these things with my soul mate, Frank makes me burst at the seams.

GUIDELINES:

3.    Thank your fellow blogger who nominated you.
4.    Share your Definition of LOVE and How You Live Out LOVE.
5.    Nominate your  fellow bloggers who live out love and inspiration on WP.  (Love knows no limits, so nominate as many fellow bloggers you’d like to shine your light on!)

1. Laura Denise https://lauradenise.home.blog/ Teacher and writer who believes love is the answer and inspires others through her poetry and photography. Laura has a passion for storytelling and is passionate about life, her career and how she impacts others.  She gives those qualities back to her students so they can feel their own joy and accomplishments.
2. Diane https://indianeskitchen.com/  Diane’s passion for food is contagious.  She has great recipes and tips from easy to expert cooking.  Diane also enjoys trying out new kitchen gadgets from time to time.
3. Donna  https://bayphotosbydonna.com/  Donna has similar passions to mine.  Birds and nature. She is an experienced photographer and her blog is all about nature with birds and their behavior in the forefront.
4. Jim Adams   https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/  Jim is the moderator for “Sunday Song Lyric” in which I participate every week.  Jim is passionate about music and provides a new theme for each Sunday. He gives them weeks in advance so it helps other bloggers either write as they go or plan and schedule these themed blogs ahead of time. Jim is quite knowledgeable about singers, bands, writers and the backstory to songs.  He invites his participants to research their songs, the artist and writers each week so that the other followers may learn something or ignite a memory that was long forgotten.
5. Lesley  https://nananoyz5forme.com/  Similar to me, Lesley is a Texan turned Floridian and makes no bones about her uniqueness.  Her blogs are heartfelt and funny. She is a great inspiration to me and I enjoy her quirkiness towards life.  She loves her family and her friends. Her blogs are very relatable. Lesley writes what most of us are thinking and don’t have the courage to write.
6. Mel  https://crushedcaramel.wordpress.com/  Carmel has overcome adversity and bad times in her life.  She has a great deal of love to give and you will see this throughout her blog. She is soon to be a published author with her novel available on Amazon soon. Because she calls herself (Learner of Love), who better to receive this award?  We can learn a few things from her.
7. Jill  J-Dubs Grin and Bear Its is Jill just hit 1000 followers. She blogs every day with a lot of humor and wit.  You never know what you are going to get with her brilliant mind. She has a very organized home page and I hope you love her antics as much as I do.

I hope that you will all go check out their blogs and show them some love. Because, isn’t “for the love of writing and sharing” the reason for why we continue down our blogging path?
