This is a link to her Blog. She is also moderator of Science Fiction - Blatant Promo 4 Authors, Blogs!
She was nominated for this award by Author M.C O'Neill. http://royalmanaball.wordpress.com/
This is a humbling award to receive. I'm new to blogging and am honored that she would consider my writing or my blog to be an inspiration!
In keeping with the rules in accepting this award, I must adhere to the
following stipulations:
1) Display the award logo on my blog.
2) State SEVEN facts about myself.
3) Link back to the person who nominated you.
4) Nominate FIFTEEN other Bloggers who deserve this award.
5) Notify each of the Bloggers of their nomination for this award.
Here are SEVEN facts about me:
1) I was quite athletic when I was a teenager. I played sports year round: baseball, football, and street hockey. I had my own street hockey team at age 16 which won championships in two different leagues.
2) I love watching movies, especially old movies and filling my head with trivia about each and every actor and actress. (I love to watch Turner Classic Movies Channel!)
3) I enjoy drinking coffee and at one time sold coffee for a plantation in Guatemala that supported an orphanage there.
4) I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor's Degree in Religious Studies.
5) I've been involved in many car accidents, most of them weather or nature related. Boulders fell from a hillside and almost crushed me while driving and I went over a 35 foot cliff when my car hit some snow and ice on an otherwise clear road.
6) I've traveled to the Philippines and several Asian and European countries. I visited the main large islands in the Philippines. I loved the white beaches of Puerto Princesa in Palawan.

That's really cool, I hope you win! Those are some interesting facts about yourself, the part about the car accidents was scary - off of a cliff?!? Yikes! I think it's great that you've traveled and experienced so much. Also thanks for the nomination! I've not had any time lately for blogging. I'm trying to come out of a rut I've gotten myself into. Well, you have my vote! (Actually, I don't know how it works lol) ;)
ReplyDeleteMandi Lynn, all that is needed to participate is to tell seven things about yourself and nominate some others as well as nominate others--as many as you can up to 15. Yes, the car accidents have been too scary. Good luck to getting out of your rut.
