Sunshine Blogger Award

As a novice blogger who joined the WordPress community six months ago, I was surprised and humbled to receive Foxy Writer Chick’s nomination for the Sunshine Blogger Award 🔆

Originally from Minnesota but now living in beautiful Maryland, Susan (a.k.a Foxy Writer Chick) is someone I respect very much. Unlike myself, Susan is a real writer. Her professional writing career spans pro-editor and writing critique services. Her all round writing wizardry is backed up with a Masters In Professional and Creative Writing. Phew! So to receive this nomination from Susan is very humbling. Thank you Susan.

What are my Questions and Answers? 🔆

Ok here goes! Foxy Writer Chick has some curly questions!

  1. What is your favorite band or type of music? Why? Music reminds me I’m alive, I listen to different genres depending on what I’m doing. For example classical (with noise cancelling headphones!) if I’m drafting documents at work, cheesy ’80’s pop like Madonna if I’m doing Saturday morning housework on and classic rock (loud!) like AC⚡️DC if we’re on a road trip. 
  2. You can have dinner with one person from history. Who is it and why did you choose him/her? My beautiful grandmother on my father’s side. She was taken from this earth too soon, I would love to learn more about her childhood, her life and her heart. 
  3. Choose a motto or credo to sum up the way you live your life: If I die tomorrow, would I look back on my life and my parents (and loved ones) be proud of the person I was.
  4. Finish this sentence: NEVER TRUST SOMEONE WHO______________lies.
  5. Why do you blog? If I can pay it forward and help someone quit drinking, even just a little bit. My blog has served its purpose.
  6. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? New Zealand (Wellington during my professional career, Whangamata when I retire). Both places are beautiful and have special memories and people. They are safe, natural and represent me.
  7. What is your best quality? My loyalty to codes of ethics (in both my personal and professional lives).
  8. What is your biggest pet peeve? Drama queens. Just let that shit go.
  9. What’s the last book you read? Would you recommend it? How to Transform your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
  10. If you could rewind your life and go back to a certain age, would you do it and pick up from there? Why or why not? Probably early twenties, when my drinking started to get hard. I’d seek counselling and sort it. But then again, I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I did that. So actually, I don’t think I’d rewind.
  11. Who or what inspires you to write or create? You do – the wonderful, supportive WordPress community.

    • Sounds like a fun weekend in stall! Hey no worries, I’m just delighted that you are happy to pay it forward and particulate. I’m excited to see your answers and also your inspirational bloggers. And thank you for everything you’ve done this year. Your writing has helped me stay aligned to my truth in a huge way. ❤️


  2. Love, love, love your responses! You are an inspiration and you are helping so many people out there who are touched by your words. It takes courage to put yourself out there. And you know, I don’t think I’d rewind either. Like the country song says, “Every broken road led me to you” –only in this case, the you is self-discovery–knowing what you are and aren’t made of and that once you set your mind to something, with God’s grace, it is yours. Keep on hanging tough, NoWine. Life really is good. And that’s more than just a slogan on a T-shirt. It’s the reality of waking up with a clear head and some goals for your life. xoxoxo!
