Dear Readers or Followers,

I have recently removed almost 50% of my blog followers who have not been posting for quite some time, or their blogs are no longer active.

If I accidentally removed you, and you still want to follow my blog, please follow again. I do apologise for the inconvenience.

With love and respect,

Blogger Award

Hello Fellow Bloggers, I am pleased to receive the Sunshine Blogger Award from Benjamin, an amazing storyteller at Brothers’ Campfire

What is the Sunshine Blogger Award?

The award is driven entirely by the community, passed from blogger to blogger in recognition of their inspiring, creative and motivational blogs. Each nominee passes it on to 11 of their favorite bloggers, and round and round it goes. This is a great way to give recognition to new bloggers and those who may otherwise fly under the radar of many people.

For accepting the Sunshine Blogger Award nomination, there are a few suggestions:

• Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you and link back to their blog.

• Answer questions the blogger asked you.

• List the suggestions and display the Sunshine Blogger Award in your blog post.

• Nominate new bloggers & their blogs. Leave a comment on their blog to let them know they received the award and ask your nominees new questions.

My Answers For My Friend Benjamin!

  1. When was the last time you tried something new?  November 2019, I shot a small pistol in a gun range and I loved it.
  2. Who do you sometimes compare yourself to? I compare myself to Jesus, what will Jesus do?
  3. What’s the most sensible thing you’ve ever heard someone say? “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” -Maya Angelou
  4. What gets you excited about life? Seeing people make the most out of their circumstance instead of crumbling under it.
  5. What life lesson did you learn the hard way? Do not make a life decision when you are mentally and/or physically fatigue.
  6. What do you wish you spent more time doing five years ago? Reading and writing.
  7. Do you ask enough questions or do you settle for what you know? I am not asking enough questions because I do not like to be swayed by other’s opinions.
  8. What’s a belief that you hold with which many people disagree? Do my best each day, leave the future to the Planner.
  9. What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago? Writing a decent short story.
  10. Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength? Mostly strength to allow ourselves to be vulnerable. I don’t cry easily though.

Calling for collaboration

Hi to my followers and occasionally stop-by readers!

I am calling for writing poetry in collaboration with You.

A bit of background of myself. I love writing poetry though I received no formal training in doing so, nor have I well read classic English poetry. So I write fairly free form for lack of knowledge. I believe poetry is a great way to express an individual’s creativity.

If you are interested in writing collaboration pieces with me, please email me here, we can discuss topics and a way forward.

Looking forward to hearing from you! 😊
