I have been nominated for a Dragon’s Loyalty Award, by my talented friend of many years, Tosha, whose blog “Everything I Never Told You” never ceases to amaze me,
I’m fairly new to blogging and find myself being constantly challenged. But, I am also constantly amazed by the incredible talents of artists, photographers, writers, and poets on WordPress. I learn from all of you.
The rules are:
*Display the award on your blog
*Announce your win with a post and link the blogger who nominated you.
*Present six deserving bloggers with the award
*Link your awardees in the post
*Write 7 interesting things about you
FACTS: ( uh oh )
1. I am adopted, and, after years of searching for my biological family, found my first cousins on Facebook
2. Until I was 10 years old, I carried a maroon blanket around with me. Her name was Dolores. I still have no idea how I came up with that name.
3. I’m an only child. Even to this day, I often feel alone. I am, probably, overly concerned about everyone liking and accepting me.
4. Being a local actress and union member, I have appeared in many feature films, rubbing elbows with Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks. But, my claim to fame was being cast as a crazy bank customer in a low low budget film that was never released.
5. My fashion icon is Diane Keaton. I adore her boldness, her uniqueness, and her incredible talent. My favorite film is Annie Hall and I have used that as my “Username” on the internet for years.
6. I am a vintage clothing junkie. If you see a consignment store or an outdoor market, I am probably there. You must accessorize haha
7. Panic attacks used to control me. Now, I control them…most of the time
My Nominations:
Tosha. Well, she did nominate me. haha Seriously, her talents continue to amaze me. She writes from her soul.
Geetha. Her words and images are as beautiful has she is.

Oh, I did not know you could nominate the person who had already nominated you and nominate people who had been nominated in the original post. I enjoyed reading your facts (not sure why you added uh oh – was it because some are not true 😀 ? )

I have no idea, Geetha. When Tosha nominated me, I just assumed I could nominate anyone.. note my fact on blogger confusion 🙂 uh oh…as in “here I go..here comes the truth 🙂

Ah ok but your truth was fine, apart from the panic attacks and am glad you have less of them. Perhaps listening to shamanic music and working on your breath could help make them completely go away. It worked for a friend of mine.

I still struggle with them, but I am learning not to be afraid of them. When they occur, I either start repeating my mantra or put my attention on other things. Breathing is key xo

WOW, Jane this is so neat! CONGRATS on the nomination!! I love learning about YOU~Words cannot describe you referencing me in the way that you did. I had the deer with headlight look on my face, LOL! This made me feel validated, THANK YOU. As you know I am new to this whole BLOGGING thing myself. I am still learning the lingo, what does this award mean for you? What’s next? What can I do for you? Will there be voting? Let me know! XOXO~

Your’re so sweet, Lisa. I’m not too familiar with it either. It’s not really a competition where voting is involved. It’s more like an honorable mention from fellow bloggers who admire your work. So, you have been mentioned 🙂

Okay, Jane, I found you again! I’d turned off all my notifications when I went into a “creative spell of writing,” but now I’m back with the program and should be getting your posts when posted. Reading this one, I was amazed to see that we have a few things in common: I, too, am an only child, and I love Diane Keaton and when Annie Hall first came out I saw it I don’t know how many times and bought some cloths just like hers! (Of course, she looked far better in them than I did, :)). Good for you for controlling your panic attacks. I don’t really have them, but I do have my bouts with OCD, and unfortunately I don’t always win the rounds I try to duke it out with my bad habits. 🙂 Looking forward to getting to know you better via podcast! 🙂

No worries about the notifications. I took a little WordPress break so haven’t really commented on others writings. I need to catch up. We do have a lot in common. I really spill my guts out in Symptoms of a Braincloud..but haven’t really posted there in awhile. I loved talking with you today..so great to hear everyone’s voices. Great show xo

I was so glad to meet you today as well, Jane! No worries about catching up on blogs. I take breaks now and then, too — I think they’re needed. We’ll keep in touch here in the blogosphere, and yes, we need to discuss our similarities, starting with our love of Annie Hall! 🙂
