The Liebster Award comes to me from Enrico at SHAKECLOUDS. Thank you very much, Enrico! I’m honored that you thought of me for this wonderful award. For those of you not already following Enrico, do visit his blog. He is from Italy, living in Denmark, and believes that what really matters is how we live our lives. He has discovered that “what we really need in order to be happy is within ourselves, not outside.”
What is the Liebster Award?
The word “liebster” (originating in German) has several definitions: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued. In the current context, this award recognizes bloggers who share their story or thoughts in a beautiful manner to connect with their viewers and followers.
What are the rules for the Liebster Award?
The rules for the Liebster Award have changed over time and I’m approaching them with some flexibility.
Here are the rules:
- Post the award on your blog.
- Thank the blogger who presented this award and link back to their blog.
- Write 11 random facts about yourself.
- Answer 11 questions posted by the presenter.
- Nominate 11 bloggers you feel deserve this award and who have less than 200 followers.
- Ask your nominees 11 questions.
11 Questions from Shakeclouds and my 11 Random Facts:
- Can you name something that made you happy today?
I enjoyed a wonderful meal that someone else prepared. - Why do you blog?
The most important factor for me is the amazing blogging community. - Do your friends know about your blog?
No, it’s a well-kept secret. - What would you do in your ideal day?
I would fly Ed Force One across an ocean or two. Maybe three. - Summer or Winter?
Winter. - Beach or mountains?
A beach at the foot of the mountains. - Could you live without your smartphone?
Yes. - Which is the thing you treasure the most in your life?
Life is precious so I try to treasure the moments. - Who is the most important person in your life?
Everyone is important so I can’t exclude anyone. - Do the weather affect the way to see the incoming day?
Not usually. - Are you satisfied with the kind of person you are right now?
No. I’m doing a nutrition detox and I should have stayed toxic! (Today may not be the best day to answer.) 🙂

Congratulations, Danica. I recognize a few people on your list for nominations. They will merit visits over the weekend.
Busy weekend for my family. Hope yours goes well, safe travels, if you go near or far.
Good luck if you are still being nutritionally careful after you detoxed. I did this a lot during my 40’s. 🙂
