Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Today’s blog post was written for fun in response to a nomination I received from both Sunny Larue and Catherine Mellen. I have to admit I hesitated for a couple of days before deciding to respond to all of these questions. Some questions were a lot easier than others. Nevertheless, I got it done.
INTRODUCTIONS – SUNNY LARUE & CATHERINE MELLEN
My first nomination came from a wonderful and friendly blogger, Sunny Larue. In case you are not aware, Sunny Larue is also known as The Professional Martini Drinking Blogger. I love that blog name and it makes me smile every time I visit her website. I proceeded to read Sunny’s responses and learned so much about her. She has a passion beyond this world for mental health issues. Sunny loves to blog about her struggles with mental illness and continues to spread awareness everywhere she goes.
My second nomination came from another creative blogger, Catherine Mellen. I just recently came across her blog while on Twitter. She writes from the soul about shattering the silence on family secrets and childhood trauma. Every word you read pulls you into her fascinating life experiences. It’s a passion and willingness to share stories with a twist of creativity.
