I have been a blogger for a few months now and have been enjoying every minute of it. It’s a lot of work, but it really doesn’t seem like it since it’s so rewarding. It allows me to be incredibly creative and to also help along their writing journey.

I feel so honored that Michelle Bynum, My Fictional World (myfictionalworld.com) nominated me for this. Thank you so much!

The Sunshine Blogger Award is an award given to bloggers by bloggers. This helps bloggers to get recognized for their hard work, creativity, and invaluable information.

This Sunshine Award also helps bloggers and readers to get to know each other better. Because that is what blogging is all about. A community full of support and new friendships.

Here we go…

Eleven Questions:

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I now live in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania with my husband of two years.

Do you have any pets?

We have five cats. No, I’m not a creepy cat lady. I had cats, my husband had cats and when we got married we ended up with five cats. I also have a 29 year old daughter who is a successful Behavioral Specialist with a baby boy 6 weeks from joining us.

What is your favorite part about blogging?

I love the freedom of being able to blog wherever and whenever I want. I also thoroughly enjoy helping fellow writers craft their novels.

Do you travel? If so, where was your favorite place? Or dream to go?

I don’t travel as a hobby, but the times I’m able to get away, I enjoy it very much. There are so many places I’d love to see and experience in our world. I hope to someday be able to visit Europe, Hawaii, Peru, and so many other amazing places..

What types of books/movies/tv shows do you like?

I love novels about people who can communicate with the paranormal or have magical abilities. My favorite tv shows at the moment are “God Friended Me”, and “Good Witch.” I find all different genres of movies enjoyable. It all depends on my mood at the time.

What is your favorite holiday?

Without a doubt, Christmas. There’s something so beautiful and magical about that time of year. Having a big meal and enjoying time with family is my favorite thing to do.

Do you have any family traditions?

Actually, not really except getting together with family on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

What makes you the happiest?

I adore spending time with my mother, husband, and daughter. I also enjoy blogging, writing, crocheting, and etching on glass.

Where do you want to be five years from now?

I would love nothing more than to be blogging full time, writing my novels, and enjoying life, financially stable.

When you are on your death bed, what is it that you want to be able to say that you did, and you did well? Or at least tried.

I live my life with no regrets. I put all of me into everything I do and I only do that which brings me joy. I feel like I’d be able to easily feel that way when it’s my time to go, because I can certainly say it now. Don’t let anything or anyone stop you from living your best life.
