Well, a beautiful friend over at Totally Inspired Mind, Paulette Le Pore Motzko, has honored me with The Inventive Blogger Award. Here I go with fifteen random things about me, along with sharing the award with fifteen bloggers I admire:
Fifteen Random Thoughts About Moi:
1. Before I graduated from high school, I had experience in multiple choirs and orchestra (playing both violin and upright bass), and could play a few hymns and other pieces on the piano.
2. I love reading stories to children and inflecting my voice or making up accents while reading.
3. I find myself singing when I am happy, and I usually surprise myself when it happens.
4. I wrote lots of letters to friends across the country and the world when I was in junior high and high school. Like over 100 friends at one point. And I still have some of the letters I received.
5. I gave birth to twins several years ago (they were not my first children) and still found the courage & faith (thankfully) to have another child after they were born.
6. As a child, I used to pretend with my brother that, if we closed our eyes tightly, we would disappear. As an adult, I have had moments where I wished I could disappear, but they are becoming less and less as I become more comfortable being who I am.
7. I LOVE to bake and eat sweets. And breads. And rolls. And prepare yummy meals…and challenging meals…!
8. Exercise is my friend. I wish I spent more time with this friend.
9. I ran a half-marathon on a whim with a dear, dear friend and my wonderful husband. It was hard. But I’m so glad I did it.
10. I wrote a novel on a whim last year for NaNoWriMo.
11. Even though I’ve accomplished much in my life, I treasure most my relationships with others.
12. I want to write a book that is adapted to the screen.
13. I am fascinated by talented performers and artists on many levels.
14. I believe in rooting for the underdog.
15. Happiness comes for me when I forget myself and reach out to others; growth comes when I reach out even when I am uncomfortable doing it.
