Beautifully Scary!

  

Somehow, I hit 601 followers on WordPress! 

And nearly 20,000 views! 

637 posts… When and how did I make the time!!? 

Best day for views hit 418! 
WOW!

Thank you to you all who do regularly follow my posts, liking, reading, and commenting!

I am humbled, thankful, surprised, and a little excited!!! 

Who’da thunk it!? In 5 months I’d build this up, blogging would become one of my lifelines!!!!

And the Blog-Pals I’ve made along the way! You know who you are! We comment-converse, support, humour, it’s all there!!!

Thank you wonderful folks!!!!!!

A huge thank you… Again!

The Blogbeque appears to still be going, and I am so happy there have been loads of new connections made!

Keep em coming folks, and hopefully I’ll host another one soon!!!

Thank you!

No, really, thank you!

No, really, thank you!

This is really a message to all those bloggers who have recently followed me, and of course to those of you who have been with me since the beginning…

I have steadily been growing my follower numbers, and feel that I haven’t been able to do what I used to do, which was to individually thank you…. but what with work, family, and home life, I get such little time on WordPress, to do all that.

I follow you back, and I eagerly read posts in my reader, when I can sit down and do so.

My blogging etiquette requires that I acknowledge everyone who interacts with comments, and I like to comment on posts I feel something for too.  So it seems that my responses to comments have eaten into my time usually reserved for perusing new blogs thoroughly, as there are more of them to answer nowadays!

But I still wanted to say THANK YOU  to you for following my blog, and I hope I can write to your liking, so you never regret that ‘follow’!!!

Friday the 13th, Lucky For Some!! The CBA- Creative Blogger Award

image

After the rush last weekend, I didn’t think it would happen again so soon, but OMG!!! Another award I’d never heard of!

Rob at The V-Pub (great blog by the way… please go visit him!) nominated me and my blog for The Creative Blogger Award.

The rules for The Creative Blogger award are as follows:

  1. Nominate some blogs and notify all nominees via their social media/blogs (kinda doctored this one so you choose how many to nominate!
  2. Thank and post the link of the blog that nominated you
  3. Share five facts about yourself to your readers
  4. Pass these rules on to them
  5. Display the image above proudly!

So firstly, as the rules say nominate some blogs!

1) Storytime With John
2) Idiot Writing
3) Matriach Of Nerds
4) Orange Marmalade Press
5) Chris The Story Telling Ape
6) Window With a View
7) Baffled Baboon
8) Edwina’s Episodes
9) Creatopath
10) The Book Blogger

And now to thank my nominator, Rob at The V-Pub. Seriously, Rob, thank you!  I love you r blog, and for you to think of me is so flattering!

Next!  Share 5 things about me… what, that you don’t already know? Ok, let me try…

1) I love Chicken Kiev! Mmmmmmmm! Especially the Marks & Spencer ones!  And yesterday I got the kids to have some and they loved it too! YAY!!!!

2) When younger I had a god-awful obsession with Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan,(fresh out of Neighbours!) Oh,a nd Bros and New Kids On The Block!

3) I absolutely loved the author Virginia Andrews and the Flowers of the Attic series…and all the rest… not as taken with the ghost writer team that write under her name now though, since she passed away…

4) I am totally up for having a laugh at my expense… (haven’t you seen all the dressing up posts!?)

5) I am a Sikh, and though not baptised, I have every respect for my religion, and the teaching of my Guru’s. I firmly believe that no matter what God you believe in (and there is only one, that we all believe in, just many guises, because, well, he is God!) How you look and what you do is all seen by that ever present entity, and karma will come back and bite you on the arse if you are naughty, but that if you are a good person, with good thoughts, and a kind heart, it might take time, but you will reap, as you sow.  Like, yes, I cut my hair. As a Sikh, I shouldn’t, but God can see me, cant he? He knows I’m not harming anyone, right!  I can still believe with shorter hair!

And now off to inform my nominees!!

Thanks again Rob! 😀

But I Smile Anyway...

Milestones, Milestones…!

Party going on in my Blogosphere!!!

I’m humbled, truly.
All the support, comments, likes, mentions and reblogs, help immensely and have revived this love of the written word that I had as a younger Ritu. 

Can I say a HUGE thank you to all those who have followed so far! I hope you’re enjoying the ride, as much as I’m enjoying driving the proverbial bus! And anyone else who’d like to join us, you don’t need a ticket, just click the follow button!

But I Smile Anyway...
