I am honoured and thankful to Nicole, at Born a Lemon, for nominating me for a “One Lovely Blog” award! I still have a long way to go with my blog but this award encourages me to work harder at it. As per the award guidelines here are…
7 Random Facts about Me:

My most proud accomplishment was raising money for a young woman’s kidney transplant in Kenya. We are still very close friends and hope to meet each other one day.
I can’t watch or hear anyone brush their teeth. I get goosebumps all over and freak right out!
My middle name is “Gesine”. I am named after my aunt and grandmother who live in Germany. If I would have had a daughter I would have passed the name on to her.

The most rewarding job I ever had was working for the John Howard Society, helping male prisoners prepare for their release from prison.
My nominations for a “Lovely Blog Award”:
