I envied the cheerleaders in high school. I wanted to be popular, have a boyfriend, wear cool clothes, and go to my senior prom. But I was too shy. And sweet. “Stay as sweet as you are” my friends wrote in my yearbook. Yecch!

Forward forty years in time to today, the day I received the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award from Haley Whitehall, a great friend and editing partner in my online writing class. I’m a little older now (just a tad) and more experienced. Kindness trumps cool clothes any day, popularity is a state of mind, and receiving a gift is a blessing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rules associated with accepting the award:
1) You link the person who sent it to you
2) List seven random facts about yourself
3) Pass the award on to 15 other awesome blog buddies
4) Contact them and let them know

I’m modifying the rules because . . . well, because that’s what I do. I break the rules in my writing. I break the rules when I cook. My husband says I never just follow a recipe, I’m always changing something. I guess it’s the rebel in me.

Here are some random facts about me.

  • I believe my book will be a NYT bestseller.
  • I believe that cats (all sizes) are amazing and glorious creatures.
  • I believe that you can change your destiny.
  • I believe in happily ever after.
  • I believe in using correct grammar whenever possible.
  • I believe we can lead lives of greatness.
  • I believe that all we need is love.

And last but not least, the recipients of the award. My dear SWEET friends:

Fran Stewart - Bees Knees Beekeeping

Colleen Fong - Eve Laments – All About Women, For Women, By Women
