Things like that happen when you have juicey blackmail hanging over someone&#8217;s head. I mean&#8230;when you have an inspiring blog xD Seriously though, this is such a wonderful honor and I&#8217;m more excited to be able to pass it along!<\/p>\n<p>Here are the rules:<\/p>\n<p>1)\u00a0 Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0 List seven random things about yourself.<\/p>\n<p>3)\u00a0 Nominate\u00a0other blogs.<\/p>\n<p>4)\u00a0 Notify the nominees.<\/p>\n<p>5)\u00a0 Put the award logo on your blog.<\/p>\n<p>I removed the number of blogs to be nominated because it&#8217;s just not happening. I have chosen some exceptional people, though! So before you find out about them, here&#8217;s a little bit about me:<\/p>\n<p>1) I spent the last two weeks obsessively watching the Olympics. It&#8217;s always so inspiring to see humans come together and compete with their amazing talents.<\/p>\n<p>2) I can&#8217;t play a musical instrument and not learning is one of the biggest regrets of my childhood. Always time in the future though!<\/p>\n<p>3) I am afraid of heights, but I love flying.<\/p>\n<p>4) The collective days of my parents&#8217; and brother&#8217;s\u00a0births put together end up being my birthday.<\/p>\n<p>5) My favorite seasons are autumn and spring because of the outstanding beauty.<\/p>\n<p>6) I am a planner and although I like being sponetaneous at times, other people&#8217;s spontanity drives me crazy.<\/p>\n<p>7) I&#8217;m a fiercely loyal friend. I love them to death and won&#8217;t let anyone\u00a0mess with my peeps.<\/p>\n<p>The people I\u2019d like to nominate for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award are some of the best writers out there. Reading their blogs always drives me to smile, think or do, so without further suspense,\u00a0here they are:<\/p>\n<p>The fizzygrrl blog is obviously the location for a smile. It&#8217;s written by a wonderful writer named, Summer. The smiles are sort of implied! I love her\u00a0quirky rants and life discussions that writers deal with on a daily basis. <a href=\"http:\/\/fizzygrrl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Check it out!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tiana writes such thoughtful pieces about writing or stories that constantly\u00a0challenges what you think might be true or not. It&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/tlbodine.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">great blog <\/a>for inspiring\u00a0you to use your critical thinking skills!<\/p>\n<p>Want to be inspired to do something? Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.writeforapples.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dee&#8217;s blog<\/a> and you&#8217;ll get yourself in gear. Whether\u00a0its contests, conference or writing tips, she&#8217;s got the information and displays it in such an approachable and inspiring manner.<\/p>\n<p>Congrats, ladies!<\/p>\n<p>Random (feel free to ingore!)
