Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

Oh my gosh! My first ever bloggers award and I have Lauren of I’m Just a Precious Penny in a World of Dimes to thank for it. I am thrilled to be nominated for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award and had to jump in right away.

Now for the questions…

1. Why did you start blogging?

Words are in my blood. I’ve been writing for my entire life, and after I graduated from college a year ago, I found myself at a standstill and really needed a creative outlet. It started as a way to mold my thoughts into a tangible form again, but turned into something I hope will bring inspiration to other women.

2. Do you like to read? If so, what book(s) would you recommend?

I love to read! (If you didn’t know, I am getting into book reviews. Come back tomorrow for my latest one. Hint: Charlotte Rogan.)

At the moment, I highly recommend The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty. I finished this a few days ago and immediately passed it off to my best friend. I adored everything about this book from the craftsmanship to the honesty to the personal journey I experienced while reading it.

3. Do you prefer Converse or Toms?

Neither are my style right now, but in high school I was really into my pink and lime high tops.

4. What are some things girls in their twenties should do? (Any advice?)

Live outside your comfort zone. You grow the most when you are trying something new.

5. What is your favorite Disney movie?

Beauty and the Beast.

6. If you could visit anywhere in the United States, where would you go?

I have been blessed with the chance to travel to several states on the East coast and out West, but if I could choose a bucket list destination, it would be Alaska.

7. Do you have a pet?

I have two dogs that make my days a little lighter.

8. What is your favorite quote and why?

I can’t pick just one, so I will go with a favorite writing quote by Flannery O’Connor: “I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” I have yet to hear a better explanation of writing.

9. Pick a super power you would want for a day.

Invisibility.

10. What is your favorite family tradition?

Staying in pajamas all day on Thanksgiving.
