Ladies and gentlemen: it’s awards time! The Liebster Award comes to me from the phenomenal Rob at Art by Rob Goldstein. Thank you so much for thinking of me, Rob! I’m truly honored.

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.
.
Here are the rules:

Answer the 11 questions the blogger gives you.
Give 11 random facts about yourself.
Nominate 11 blogs.
Notify those blogs of the nomination.
Give them 11 questions to answer.
.

2. What is your most prized possession?
One of them is a blanket my grandmother made for me years ago. It’s travelled many miles with me.

Yes.
6. What is one of your favorite quotes?

7. What word in your language do you like most?
I love languages and words, and can’t answer this. (Headache!)

Oh the pain! I love both. Together. Okay, if I really have to pick one then the ocean.
