    Longlisted for 2nd year running!

    For the second year in a row, I’m blessed to find that my blog has been nominated and longlisted in the Blog Awards Ireland 2014 competition. Not only that, my blog is also longlisted in the Health & Wellbeing category! I sincerely, and once again, want to thank you for following, commenting and supporting my blog. Wherever you pick up your messages about new posts, via my shortcut ramblings on Twitter, drawn-out Facebook notifications or via email, I’m always happy to see your names appear in your own feedback. In the next few weeks, I will try to write regularly because my fingertips itch every single day and there’s just plenty more to be written about. ©Willeke Van Eeckhoutte and Ireland, Multiple Sclerosis & Me, 2011-2014. Unauthorised use and/or duplication of…

    Liebster Award! (no. 4)

    Here is the other Liebster Award that was sitting here idly without being forwarded. Tamie’s Realm kindly nominated me and needless to say, I am very happy about it! As always, nominations – which are winners in WordPress blog terminology – need to follow a few steps when passing on the award. Here are the rules for this particular Liebster Award: 1. Each nominee must link back the person who nominated them. 2. Answer the 10 questions which are given to you by the nominator. 3. Nominate 10 other bloggers for this award who have less than 200 followers. 4. Create 10 questions for your nominees to answer. 5. Let the nominees know that they have been nominated by going to their blog and notifying them.

    Liebster Award (no. 3)!

    Desperately behind writing new posts or replies to all your comments, I need to get my proverbial bum in action if I want to start writing properly again. Perfectionism is my middle name, but lately I’ve been slacking, oh yes I have. Allow me to hit myself on the hands in punishment… Ouch… That hurt! The first award I need to send on, was given to me by Willow’s Corner. Do visit her blog because you will not be disappointed. As always, nominations – which are winners in WordPress blog terminology – need to follow a few steps when passing on the award.

    Two more awards!

    With all the Christmas hustle and bustle, I forgot I was chosen for two WordPress blog awards, given by other WP bloggers! A sheen of Flowers and Breezes told me four days ago about the awards, so apologies for the late reply and nominations. I want to thank Sheen for being such a great blogger and nice commentator, Sheen is still grieving the loss of her husband and spends time between Pakistan and the US. Please do visit her blog, the link is mentioned in the above paragraph. The Versatile Blogger Award and the Dragon’s Loyalty Award share the same way of forwarding and awards so I will combine both here. Each person I nominated, therefore, get both awards. I looked up some of the meaning and rules of the…

    20 things you didn’t (necessarily) know yet

    While browsing through the weekend newspapers yesterday, I came across a nice list of questions. I like lists. And I like questions. A female attribute? No doubt. Just for the fun of it, here we go! The book that changed my life: Ulysses by James Joyce, no doubt about it! The quote that keeps me sane: I’m a huge quote lover, so it’s hard deciding but I will use Friedrich Nietzsche once more: “That which does not kill us makes us stronger”
