Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Today, I am using my blogging platform to have some fun while supporting other bloggers. Earlier this month, I was nominated by Deandra, the creator of The Black Princess Diaries website, for the Badass Blogger Award. Deandra, thank you for uplifting me and my Renew Inspiration blog. This is such a humbling experience that I don’t take lightly.

In addition, I want to pause at this time to thank Katie, the creator of the Dating Bitch website for creating the Badass Blogger Award. The goal of the Badass Blogging Award is to show appreciation for other bloggers and inspire confidence within the writing process. Don’t doubt yourself, but instead keep publishing informative and uplifting content for your readers.

It has been a long time since I’ve received a blogger award from another blogger. Believe it or not, receiving blogger awards help to motivate you as a writer, keep you focused on your blogging goals, and build a sense of trust within the blogging community. For example, it has been four years since I stepped out on faith and created my Renew Inspiration blog. I stayed committed and focused throughout my blogging journey posting inspirational and uplifting blog posts. My ultimate goal was to inspire, encourage, and motivate everyone who visit my webpage.

DEANDRA’S QUESTIONS FOR ME:

List 3 things that make you a badass.

I’d say 3 things that make me a badass are – 1) Always inspiring others to be the best version of themselves. 2) Not being afraid to move out of my comfort zone to do what makes my soul happy. 3) My willingness to help others reach their goals or higher potential.

What’s your favorite activity to do on the weekend?

Since I work a full-time job Monday – Friday, I love to sleep in on Saturday. Then, I spend time doing chores around the house and running errands. After grocery shopping and meal prepping for the upcoming week, I like to spend time writing, reading, and meditating. Sometimes we have family time which includes watching movies, playing board games or video/VR games.

Do you prefer to write blog posts that are on the longer or shorter side?

Great question. I have to say that most of my blog posts are on the shorter side. I normally choose a topic of my choice and write just enough to inform my readers of the topic’s importance. In addition, I always include journal prompts at the end of my blog posts that inspires my readers to improve themselves in various areas of their lives.

Could you see yourself being a blogger forever? Why/why not?

Yes, I could see myself being a blogger forever because I love to write inspirational blog posts and use my blogging platform to help others reach their personal achievements.

What’s something that makes you, you?

I am a woman of my word. I am a kind and compassionate person. I love to spread inspiration and happiness all around me like confetti.

Which would you prefer, reading or listening to a podcast?

I honestly prefer reading and holding a physical book in my hands, but I listen to podcasts for inspiration sometimes as well.

What do you think makes your blog different from all of the others?

My Renew Inspiration blog was created from a painful experience after my mom passed away in 2015. I used my grief journal entries to create my blogging platform and then decided to expand my blogging entries to reflect everything surrounding inspiration.

MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU:

List 3 things that make you a badass.
What is it that makes you who you are?

Supporting another’s success won’t ever dampen yours. – Unknown Author

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! This blog post is in response for being nominated for the Blogger Recognition Award. Following the same guidelines, I will answer questions in hopes to encourage other bloggers to do the same.

1. Thank the blogger(s) for nominating you and give the link to their blog!

I want to give a special THANK YOU to Jess at Just Call Me Jess for nominating me for the Blogger Recognition Award! I am humbled and honored that Jess included me in her list of outstanding bloggers. I truly understand that it really takes a kind hearted and caring person to not only support others, but encourage them to keep blogging.

2. Write a post on your site displaying the award that describes why you started your blog.

Renew Inspiration was created with you in mind. I wanted to create a safe place where people could come to renew their inspiration whole heartedly by reading encouraging blog posts, seeing positive quotes to uplift one’s mood, and to learn various ways to improve one’s health and well-being. Believe it or not, I have always enjoyed writing and journaling, but I really got serious when my mother passed away in December 2015. This was a dark time for me, but I found that writing and capturing my feelings on paper offered me a sense of comfort that even I could not explain.

3. Write 2 pieces of advice you have for new bloggers.

#1 – Be consistent and write from the heart. The easiest way to do this is to write about things you are passionate about.

#2 – Don’t get caught up in what other bloggers are doing. Your blogging experience should be personal and a journey to your well-being. Look to others for encouragement, but create your roadmap to success.

4. Nominate and notify 10 bloggers that they’re awesome.
