I am one happy girl. I am go glad I began blogging. In addition to being a creative outlet, a learning experience, the kind blogging community makes me feel appreciated, understood and part of a wonderful group of people.
I am grateful to Donna George of “Donna George Blogs, Beyond Extraordinary Days, Little Bits of This and That” for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award. Donna is a versatile blogger in her own right. Her blog is filled with beautiful photos, inspirational words and loving sentiments. I have enjoyed many visits to her site, I recommend you stop by to see her photos, and listen to her generous voice for yourself. Donnas’ photos and words have been a blogging inspiration for me and I am very happy to have found her site.

7 THINGS ABOUT MYSELF
1) I come from a military family. Even did a few years myself. I learned to drive big trucks and shoot very well.
2) I love dogs and cats. I currently have 2 lovely kitty furboys who love looking outside at the birds bathing in the baths placed throughout the yard.
3) I have always enjoyed writing, even if it was only writing memos. I never thought I had a voice. I am finding it now with blogging.
4) I have lived in, not necessarily in this order, Shilo – Manitoba, Regina – Saskatchewan, Montreal – Quebec, Soest – Germany, Calgary – Alberta, Toronto – Ontario and for a very short while Ottawa – Ontario.
6) I never celebrated a birthday at home until I was 6. My family always travelled during the summer. I can say I have celebrated my birthday in many European countries.

Thank you for the kind words. I hope you don’t mind I nominated you as one of my 15. I believe you are a talented writer and poet, others should see you as I do. I am so happy that I have the opportunity to learn from you and get to know you better. In love and light Cheryle

My birthday is the 18th. I decided (just recently) that on the 18th of every month I was going to do something special for me. Nothing big, mind you – perhaps eat a piece of chocolate or stay 5 minutes extra in bed. Today the 18th of February has been the most wonderful day. From reading that you had nominated me for an award, to all the wonderful and kind comments from other bloggers – I feel so special. Your kind words above are the icing on my delicious cake today. How could I possibly mind being nominated?? In love and light, Marie 🙂

You are most welcome and deserving of what I said. My language skills were lost when I returned to Canada. I didn’t use them so I lost them. 😦
Thank you for nominating me. I feel honoured to have you as a blog friend. In love and light Cheryle
