I’m thrilled (and very surprised) to have been nominated in Most Inspirational Blog category at this year’s Bloggers Bash Awards.
This Aussie gal is absolutely stoked to be included in the company of some amazing bloggers including the beautiful Wendy at Brilliance Within.
It’s a huge honor and I feel truly humbled, particularly when so many of you continually inspire me with your writing. Thank you to whoever nominated me. In my opinion we’re all winners.
Today I’m off to the dentist for ongoing work on my root canal. Ouch! It’s hurting my hip pocket a lot however this nomination has helped put a big smile on my face.
If you’d like to cast a vote here’s the link.
Voting closes 2nd June.
Have a happy week ahead everyone.
“Connecting across continents is the true inspiration and power in blogging … and we’re all in it together.”

Congrats, Miriam! You certainly deserve this award. You inspire me all the time! 😁♥

Oh I was worried my injection of ‘out of character’ humour upset you my friend. It’s not natural but I’m trying to lighten up where I can 🦋🦋
I saw you missed my comment when I checked it earlier and wondered 🤔🤔

Thank you for your kind words too my friend.

Haha, hardly! It takes more than that to upset me. 🙂 Your ‘out of character’ humor actually put a smile on my face. You’ll see when we meet I’m a bit of a dag at times! I don’t always take myself too seriously so no need to fret Di. I just overlook things at times, that’s all.
Take care yourself and can’t wait to meet up. xo 😊
