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.

THE RULES:

  • List the rules and display the award logo in your post.
  • Mention the creator and link back to the original blog post.
  • Thank the person who nominated you (and link back to their post).

  • Create 6 new questions of your own.
  • Nominate 7 more badass bloggers and notify them of their win.

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?
  • Why do you enjoy writing blogs?
  • Do you consider yourself a unique blogger? Why or why not?
  • Where do you find inspiration?
  • What do you believe stands between you and complete happiness?
  • What’s something you think every person should experience in their lifetime?

I choose to feel good about myself each day. – Louise Hay

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! When I think of the fall season, I think of change. As I look outside my window, I notice the leaves falling from the trees and changing colors. As I step outside, I notice the weather getting cooler and we are seeing sunlight less and less each day.

DETERMINE YOUR PURPOSE

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. – Viktor Frankl

Let’s take this time to fall into journaling so we can make a positive change in our lives. While getting started with journaling can be frustrating for some people, for others it can be a life changing habit that takes little effort. Remember when doing anything new in life, such as journaling, it’s important to have a personal and well-defined purpose that will encourage you to stick to your new habit.

Here’s some questions to help guide you through the process to determine your purpose:

  • What is my purpose for journaling in this season of my life?
  • How would journaling benefit me right now in this very moment?
  • Do I have any unresolved issues in my life, such as stress, anxiety or childhood trauma?

Whatever your reason, the results will be the same. Once you begin the journaling process, you’ll become wiser, more enlightened, and will notice a better version of yourself.

JOURNALING TIPS
