A competition for us all! ABBA hype about to start here!

You know I mean The Annual Bloggers Bash Awards, and not Abba the group, don’t you?!

bash-comp-2017

Well, last year, I attended the second bash and it was amazing to finally physically meet bloggers who I had interacted with for over a year!

This year it promises to be even bigger and better, and the committee have set up a competition for all bloggers to enter, with some amazing prizes!

There is a little fee, but it is for funding the bash, and making it even more amazing than before!

For some reason I couldn’t just repost or share the post, but if you click here, you will get to the original post, so you can see if you would like to enter!

Spider #JusJoJan Daily Prompt – Jan. 1st/17

I have decided to attempt Linda’s Just Jot It January Challenge (#JusJoJan) this year. Whether I’ll be able to post daily is another matter, but I shall try!

The Just Jot It January 1st prompt, brought to you by Barb of ghostmmnc, is: “Spider.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Barb as well! Here’s her blog: https://teleportingweena.wordpress.com/ .

Spider

On this first day of the new year
It is common to have no fear
To weave a spider’s web of dreams
Of targets that you wish to achieve
To brush those old cobwebs away
And allow new ones to make their way
Give yourself a fighting chance
Choose wisely, skills you wish to enhance
Small steps are better than none
Learn to walk before you run
The spider starts with just one strand
Before creating something grand

Spidey’sSerene Sunday – Part 98 – Happy New Year!

img_00411.jpg

“New Year – a new chapter, new verse, or just the same old story? Ultimately we write it. The choice is ours.” – Alex Morritt

It’s all too easy, isn’t it, to start the new year, full of wonderful, uplifting resolutions?

We can all make sweeping statements about how we are going to change our life styles, or our jobs. How this will be the year we make that first ÂŁ1,000,000… (dream on!) or write that best seller.

Then we get to the end of the year not quite having achieved what we thought we would.

Many a time, the reason we don’t reach our goals is because we forget that we have to actually put the effort into getting there.

It’s all well and good deciding to get fit and join a gym… but that piece of plastic in your wallet is only worth it if you actually use it. It will only lose ÂŁ’s, not lb’s if you fail to go!

If you want to make a career change, or take up a course for some self-improvement, then do it. Don’t just think about it!

And the one I always have an issue with, write more. I dearly wish that I can write something fiction that is publishable. Last New Year, I said the same thing. And though I didn’t manage to do what I wanted, I still ended up with a book out there with my name on!

So, I am going to make no promises this year. But I will definitely try to do the things I want to do. Achievable goals, hopefully. Even if I am able to write creatively, not for the blog, for at least an hour a week. And exercise a couple of times a week… that would be a good thing!

But I know I will have to work at it!

I managed my weight loss, I think if I put my mind to it, I will be able to achieve these things too!

So all that remains for me to say is Happy New Year from Spidey and me!

Have a wonderful year Peeps!!!! Hope there are not too many sore heads from all the celebrating!!!!!!

The Winners of The 2016 Blogger Awards!

I know… I wasn’t meant to post again this year, but it had to end it on a little high with the news that I was awarded joint first in theMost Relatable Blog Award in the 2016 Blogger Awards!
And there are a few other notable winners too Like my blog sis Erika!!! Congratulations to all!!!
Happy new Year again!!!!

Whoop Whoop! 2017 Here We Come!

Well Hello Peeps!

Here I am with my final post of 2016.

It’s been a roller coaster of a year, hasn’t it?

For all the downs, there have been ups as well!

I was able to go with my family to Finland, and spend time with my parents, brother and his family, as well as my own. It was a trip that was memory filled!

I managed to make the Annual Blogger’s Bash Awards, where not only did I get to meet many of the key members of my blogily, but I was also voted second best blog!

A biggie for me, I managed to publish my first book! A volume of poetry, named Poetic  RITUals. And with over  10 five star reviews across the various Amazon sites, I was blown away! If you are inclined, click below to check it out!

And I haven’t been as active on the blog, but I do hope it has been more quality than quantity this year! I managed to secure over 2000 followers, so it can’t be all that bad!

What will 2017 hold?

I am no psychic so I have no idea. Maybe this will be the year I am able to get back into my creative writing properly, and who knows, maybe there will be another book with my name on it in the future!

I do know, though, that I shall become an honorary aunt to the baby of my best friend! And in June 2017, I shall be meeting my darling Blogily again at the Annual Bloggers Bash, and who knows… maybe there will be more of you there to meet this time!!!

I only hope that whatever happens, happens for a good reason, and that we are all healthy, happy and at peace with one another.

Anything else will be a bonus!

So let me take this moment to wish you all a wonderful New Year! May the future be bright for you all, my wonderful blogily Peeps!

Light and love!

Ritu
