I am delighted that Shelley at http://livingwithshadows.wordpress.com has nominated me for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award. thank you, Shelley, I really appreciate you thinking of me.
It’s always an honour when fellow bloggers nominate you and, for me, it serves to underline the friendliness, kindness and mutual support that exists in the blogging world.
I am also delighted to say that I have finally worked out how to get images into the widget boxes and managed it first time today, a miracle indeed!
I have decided, in order to manage awards when they’re kindly granted to me, to do what I can within my health challenges, so I am sticking to nominating six blogs that I really, really enjoy and which light my life when they turn up in my e-mail inbox. Apart from Shelley’s blog, here are my six nominations for Sisterhood of the World Bloggers:
http://chrissyfaery.wordpress.com
Chrissy writes delightful posts which really lift my spirits when I open them up. She’s also into crystals, like me, so is obviously a great gal!
httl://2me4art.wordpress.com
Amy posts wonderful photographic images which always amaze me with their brightness and creativity. Plus she loves dogs!
Brigid writes about organic gardening and is a fount of wisdom on plants, growing plants, organic gardening, facts about plants, and so on. Fascinating stuff which I pass on to my husband as he has green fingers. Plants look at me, then wilt and die!
http://spiritualitywithoutborders.wordpress.com
Rita writes beautiful poetry and offers lovely wisdom which I so much appreciate when I read her posts.
http://artfornothing.wordpress.com
Ayse posts lovely poetry and quite stunning watercolour images, mainly of herself and occasionally of places and people. I drool with envy when I view her images.
And finally:
http://thepaintingpundit.wordpress.com
Mary writes about the world of art – sometimes about the paints themselves, sometimes about activities in the world of art, sometimes philosophical posts about artists and the creative beings within us. Good stuff.
And now for the final part, and at least with this award you don’t need to think about questions, they’re provided:
Answer these ten questions…
Your favourite colour …. Purple – what else?
Your favourite animal … I don’t have a favourite animal, Iove my cats and dogs, just love animals and have done since I was a kid. My mum said she used to dread movies where an animal died because there’d be a great wail from me, plus floods of tears, and she’d have to take me out to calm me down!
Your favourite non-alcoholic drink …. Swags of coffee
Facebook or Twitter …. Facebook. I’m on Twitter but by sheer serendipity, have no idea really how it works.
Your favourite pattern …..Dip out on this, I hate patterns, much prefer plain colours.
Do you prefer getting or giving presents?….I love getting presents and I love giving presents equally.
Your favourite number … 3 – it’s my numerology number
Your favourite day of the week …I love every day of the week.
Your favourite flower …. Gazanias. They are so bright and cheerful, very sturdy and even I can’t kill ’em off!
What is your passion? ….. My art and photography. Kindness. Tolerance. Love.
WARRIOR WOMAN

Oh, don’t worry about privatising you blog, be honest, be open, be yourself and people will give you a helping hand. It’s amazing how open people are about their challenges and how supportive they are to other bloggers, whether long-standing or just starting out. And if people aren’t kind, you have the ability not only to block their comments but also to understand that they’re jealous of who you are!

I use Fudge’s Blueberry Hill to dye my hair purple, but I only put it on the front with a toothbrush, easy to apply that way and it fades nicely without any roots showing through. Ideal for my grey hair and it’s amazing how many people say they love the purple colour of my hair. It’s lovely here in North Cyprus, people are very open so in supermarkets very often check-out assistants will tell you how much they like your hair or a few of them will congregate and gasbag with you, with one translating all the comments. We have great fun!

Purple what else? That really made me smile. I think that women who have that attitude to purple are very special. Why other people don’t have strong colour attachments I have no idea!

I have a fantastic DVD called “Fabulous Fashionistas” about 6 women over 70. One of them, who is surrounded by screamingly bright colours says of beige: “Don’t wear beige. It’s the colour of death”. Which I love. If you can get hold of this – it’s about 45 mins long – it’s inspirational.
