Thank you dear Bestie aka (WifeBlah)
I would just like to say, what an absolute privilege it is to receive this award off such an amazingly talented blogger. Bestie’s posts are amazing, yet her writing seems so effortless and they say variety is the spice of life. Well if this is true, this as got to be one of the spiciest blogs around, lol😂But all joking aside, Bestie is the most kindest, caring, supportive individual you could ever wish to meet. Oh and did I also mention, she is fiercely loyal, once she follows you, that’s it, she takes you under her wing and makes you feel like number one, along with the rest of her many friends (followers) To quote a Carpenter’s song SUPERSTAR!!!
Brief History How I started Blogging
I only started blogging this year, although, the thought was on my mind for a lot longer. You see i’ve always wanted to be a journalist and write a book, writing is one of my many passions. Well it was actually a college tutor who suggested I write a blog, he advised me that it was a great platform to practice my writing and to showcase my work. So I listened to his advice but it was actually a friend at college who gave me the final nudge. A big shout out to Elizabeth she has a blog on here, lol😂
Two pieces of Advice to New Bloggers
- Always recognise the efforts of other bloggers, by commenting and putting likes on their posts.
- Don’t just stick to one topic, occasionally, push the boundaries. This will in turn make your blog more interesting.
I nominate the following:
Well, this would be like choosing between my babies. I have the best friends(followers) from Jim with his random writings on the bathroom wall (funny guy) and Nora at Joy Journal(she seriously makes me laugh) to Darnell at Fictionista (amazing writer) I love you all equally, so I want every single one of you amazing people to take this award.

Expression is an art form that needs nurturing like a small child

I tag the below bloggers and let them express themselves:

SMILE

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fears and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you….
Smile
