The fun continues as I get a second award nomination this month. It is once again with joy that I receive the nomination and continue the chain by recognizing other bloggers in turn.
It is with great surprise that I was nominated for a second time in a month for an award. I really didn't expect it and I thank The Quiet Girl Blog for this nomination. The gesture is very much appreciated. I often visit her blog where she shares her life experiences through topics in various areas of life. I really enjoy her posts and I highly recommend that you check it out.

Three things about me
1. I was a member of a choir for a few years in my parish. It was a way for me to be part of a group and to socialize. I really enjoyed the experience and would have continued if I hadn't had to move to another municipality. I have fond memories of it and maybe one day I will get back into it if the opportunity arises and time permits.
2. I like to travel to visit my family and friends. My travels take me mainly to the Ivory Coast where I am from, the United States and France. Now, I would also like to travel to discover new destinations. With the pandemic, this is not possible right now, but it gives me time to save and organize.
3. Whenever I can spare the time, I try new recipes. I scour the web for meal ideas. It's often the pictures that catch my attention and make me want to try. If what I see looks delicious, I go for it, sometimes following the instructions to the letter, sometimes adding my own personal touch. Either way, the result is tasty.
My answers
How did you start blogging?
I started blogging because I was looking for an activity that would allow me to learn more about mental wellness and personal development while creating a community and possibly income from that activity. I had originally thought of creating a Youtube channel, but since my greatest asset is writing, I preferred to start with a blog.
What are you most proud of?
Life comes with its share of challenges and some are more demanding than others. I'm proud that I had the strength and courage to get out of a situation that wasn't good for me and wasn't really serving me, despite the personal investment it required. The fact that I was able to admit that things were not working for me at all and that I had to stop everything and rebuild myself was a salutary decision for me.
What can brighten your day up?
A simple ray of sunshine can brighten my day. I am quite sensitive to the weather and sunny days are the ones that give me the most peace and well-being. When the weather is not sunny, I fall back on my state of mind by cultivating positive thoughts to bring joy to my day.
What’s your worst pet peeve?
I can't stand anything that crawls. It gives me goosebumps.
What’s your favourite thing you do for self-care?
I like to go for a walk and get some fresh air. It's invigorating for me and just makes me feel good.
