Versatile Blogger Award

I am only just getting around to accepting the Versatile Blogger Award. Better late than never, as they say!

I am grateful to Cheryle of the Lightwalkers Blog http://lightwalker1.wordpress.com for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award. Cheryle is trained in Reiki, Spiritual Healing, Intuitive Flower reading, Reflexology, Ear Candeling, Samatha Meditation. Her interests include: writing, baking, poetry, painting, photography, gardening and many other creative endeavours evidence of which are wonderfully displayed on her blog .

The Rules for accepting the Versatile Blogger Award are as follows:

1) Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their site.

2) Tell 7 things about yourself

3) Nominate 15 bloggers

4) Link to their sites and let them know of the nomination.

Tell 7 things about yourself

1) I have lived in a house where there was so much paranormal activity it scared me and I was forced to move.

2)I have seen an angel.

3)I don’t like sleeping in the dark.

4)I don’t like heights and flying.

5) I took my driving test 7 times before passing on the final attempt.

6) I love being by the sea

7) One of my favourite films is “Cabaret” starring Liza Minnelli.

Nominations

I’m not going to nominate 15 bloggers because most of the blogs that I love and follow are done by established bloggers who already have a huge following and already have awards. Some of them prefer not to accept awards. What I will do is list some of the blogs that I have read recently and which I think are absolutely worth a visit. And they are as follows:

Blogging101 “Who I am and why I’m Here”

blogging101, marie williams, poetry, who I am, why I'm here

I’m Marie. The reason I’m here is because I’m taking part in Blogging101 starting today, 5 January 2015. I have been blogging since mid October 2014 and have posted around 20 posts so far. I saw the scheme Blogging101 just before Christmas and it looked as if it was something that I would like to take part in because it offered help and advice on how to improve my blogging experience. I’m really excited to take part because I am relatively new to blogging and there are many things that I do not know how to do yet. I’m hoping that by doing the course I will be an exciting and interesting blog to follow!

So far with blogging I have been posting my poetry, which I’ve been writing for quite a few years. Since about 2009 to be exact. I’d like to continue posting poems but I’m also interested in dealing with topical events too – such as what’s currently in the news or things that I feel I’d like to discuss. I’m particularly interested in women’s issues and I’m also concerned about violence in the home.

I’d like to connect with people who also write poetry as well as those who comment on topical issues. In fact I’m willing to read just about anything that catches my eye.

At the end of the course, I’d be very pleased to have connected with others and built up good relationships with other bloggers. I’d like to be able to write and post confidently and I’d love to increase my following.
