I am truly honored to have been nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award! When I began my blog, I did not expect to be recognized or acknowledged. I just wanted to share my story with other’s, to bring Awareness and give someone else Hope.
Thank you Arlene, http://armouredup.wordpress.com/ for brightening my day!
The Rules
Of course with a title comes responsibility, and so having already acknowledged the person who nominated me and posting their link above, I will gladly: (1) post the award to my page; (2) list seven things about me; (3) nominate a few awesome blogs and let each of them know they’ve been nominated.
A Little Bit about Me
1. I am naturally an Introvert who works very hard to be an Extrovert!
2. I have began to let go of fear of what people think about me and have pushed my creative side to the forefront. (not easy!)
3. I love my rather LARGE Family! I have 7 siblings on my Dad’s side, 12 siblings on my step-dad’s side, but I am the only biological child of my mother.
4. I plan many of my family parties and enjoy the excitment and stress of planning, preparing and excuting every detail! (ummm..sometimes I think I must be crazy! lol!)
5. Even though I am the Mom of three boy’s and 1 niece, I enjoy going to the movies, library, book store and coffee shop, by myself.
6. I LOVE Basketball & Football and am my kid’s Biggest Fan!
7. I can count to ten in Tagalog, Spanish and Samoan. lol! My Family is very multi-cultural!
Now, whether they choose to accept the award is not as important as my publicly acknowledging how these blogs have been a source of inspration to me. They are not in any particular order:

3. http://thejourneyofmyhealing.wordpress.com/
4. http://whispersfrommyheart.wordpress.com/
5. http://vdcoleman.wordpress.com/
