My First Blogging Award :-)

Thank you so much Liz(Stay Strong, Daily Warrior) for nominating me for the One Lovely Blog Award. You made my day!!
Do visit her blog. I am sure you all will be motivated when you go through her blog. Her ‘The Warrior Princess‘ category is my absolute favorite and every time I read it it keeps me thinking. I am sure you all will also like it.

The Rules for accepting the award are:

– Thank the person that nominated you and leave a link to their blog

– Post about the award

– Share 7 facts about yourself

– Nominate at most 15 people

– Tell your nominees the good news!!

Here are 7 facts about me for those of you who are interested-

1. I am a junk food addict: I can eat anything that is unhealthy. From Cheetos to Kurkure to Burgers, Chips and Pizzas. I just drool when I see junk food.
2. My chocolates have to be pure chocolates: That just means that I do not like Fruit & Nut chocolates. If I want to eat chocolate, I will eat only chocolate. If I want nuts I’ll eat nuts. Why to mix the two? Or rather why put anything in chocolates? I just want chocolates. (Saying chocolate so many times has made me crave for chocolate now ;-))
3. I am afraid of all animals:  Yes, yes that’s true. But I am trying to overcome the fear of dogs now-a-days. My husband has always wanted a puppy and because I don’t want this fear to spread to my children(when I have some), I am working towards making myself like dogs. One animal at a time. Having said that, I have been to South Africa and petted a Cheetah in those sanctuaries where they take care of the various animals before they are released to the wild. But if you see that pic of mine you’ll come to know how terrified I was.
4. I hate exercising:  This is one reason I have to keep in check my love of junk food. I always start exercising and then for some reason or another drop it after a couple of months. I am hoping the 2017 resolution of just half an hour daily does not go the same way others have.
5. I love romance novels: Nora Roberts is my favorite. Not only does she have beautiful love stories but her female characters are strong. They are not the ones to let the male character take all the limelight during danger. The ladies in her novels can stand upto any villian on their own but prefer to do that with the men in their lives, not  because they are helpless but because they love them. Another awesome part about Nora Robert’s books are that she writes all these series where you can find out the love stories of all the characters of a book you fell in love with. If you have not read her try reading “In The Garden” triology, “Key” triology or “Bride” Quartet.
6. I hate confrontations: This is because when I get too angry I cry. And I don’t think that’s a good way of winning an argument.
7. I want to publish a novel:  I always loved stories. As a small girl I used to read them for my grandfather. This blog is a starting point for this goal. The more I write the more I improve. I collect ideas and start writing short stories. I am sure have taken the correct step towards achieving this goal.

And here’s my favorite part about this award, the nominations-
