Mystery Blogger Award Nomination

Spread the love

This past week I received an unexpected blessing. As I reflect upon it, I realize that it came at the perfect time. My week had been busy and stressful, then suddenly this ray of sunshine appeared. The blogging community is very dedicated to encouraging others, and I was touched to receive a nomination for a blogger award. When I write about blogger award nominations, I like to make the blog post appealing to non-bloggers as well. So I’ll apply the rules of this award to encouragement in general.

Encouraging Others: Thanking the One Who Blessed You

It’s always nice to thank the person who blessed you, if you know who it is. Cindy from the blog Cindy Goes Beyond nominated me for the Mystery Blogger Award. Thank you Cindy! Cindy blogs about her new life experiences, and her theme for 2019 is Enchantment. Check out her website and join in her adventures!

Encouraging Others: With Great Blessing Comes Great Responsibility

Sometimes when you are the recipient of an unexpected blessing, you might have a responsibility to pass it along. It’s a good idea to look around and see who might be in need of a kind word, a smile or an an encouraging note. In the case of the Mystery Blogger Award, there are some easy-to-follow guidelines.

Just what is the Mystery Blogger Award, anyway? Created by Okoto Enigma, the Mystery Blogger Award was designed to recognize “amazing bloggers with ingenious posts”. In addition, the award is also for “bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging and do so with love and passion”. How kind it was of Cindy to nominate me.

Mystery Blogger Award Guidelines

  • Place the award logo on your blog.
  • List the award’s rules.
  • Thank the person who nominated you.
  • Link to the blog of the person who nominated you.
  • Mention the creator of the award and link to the award post.
  • State three random facts about yourself.
  • Nominate 10 – 20 bloggers for the Mystery Blogger Award.
  • Ask your nominees five questions of your choosing.
  • Share a link to your best blog post.

Three Random Facts About Me

  1. My favorite animal is the giraffe. I believe giraffes manage their height with grace and dignity. Also, giraffes have blue tongues, which I think is pretty cool.
  2. I enjoy eating smoked oysters, even on pizza.
  3. Three places I would love to visit are Greece, Cornwall, and Prince Edward Island.

Questions from Cindy

  1. What do you love most, about blogging? I have enjoyed meeting fellow bloggers, benefitting from their many kindnesses,  and learning a variety of generously-shared blogging tips.
  2. If you won a free two week vacation, to anywhere in the world, where would you go? It would be a tough choice, but of the three places I noted in my random facts, I’d choose Greece. It’s the farthest away and would be the most expensive. If I could get it for free, that would be AMAZING!
  3. Who has influenced your life the most? The life and teachings of Jesus have had the greatest impact on my life. I’ve also been influenced by and blessed to have awesome parents.
  4. Do you have a favorite movie? Why is it your favorite? My favorite movie is a little-known cult classic called Three Wishes for Cinderella. This movie is my favorite because I first saw it when I was young, it’s fun for all ages, it makes a great Christmas or Valentine’s Day movie, and the main character has a lot of spirit. This is the new version.
  5. What’s the craziest want-to-do item on your bucket list? I’d like to visit Hawaii and learn how to surf. The water off the Oregon coast is too chilly!
