A fellow blogger friend of mine recently nominated me for a Liebster Award, which is basically an award given to bloggers, from bloggers. There are some stipulations, but it seems that they vary from blogger to blogger.
In short I need to:
- List 11 random facts about myself
- Answer 11 questions that the nominating blogger asked
- Nominate somewhere between 3 and 11 bloggers who have no more than somewhere between 200-3000 followers (I found all sorts of variances).
- Write an acceptance post (that's what I'm doing!) and link back to the blogger that nominated me... so, here it goes!
11 Random Facts:
- I was very shy growing up, not so much now, but I do get really nervous in front of people sometimes.
- I can play the violin (I played from 3rd to 12th grade) and am taking piano lessons--as an adult, which is no easy feat!
- I did not get my driver's license until I was 19-years-old (long story).
- I once received 3rd place in the high jump in elementary school, and 5th place in hula hoop for field day.
- I played on my high school badminton team.
- I LOVE theater and singing and all of that. I'm not saying I am great at it, but I was in three musicals and worked behind the scenes on 8 shows in my high school career. And, I was also in a massive jr. high production as well.
- In 7th grade, I ran for student council treasurer. I got so nervous that I forgot my name during my speech. After that, I joined the speech team to gain more confidence. From there, I participated with the speech team in high school and continued for awhile in college.
- I admire women who are successful, driven and have strong testimonies of the gospel. Not only do I admire them, I find that I make friends with them and learn everything I can from them. Is this weird?
- I had my appendix taken out when I was 7. I was upset that I couldn't go to school because it was a Friday and that's when we had spelling tests--which I loved.
- I guess I've always loved writing, but didn't really realize it until recently--within the last 5 or 6 months.
- I really love the art of healing, whether nutritionally or spiritually. We all need both.
