I’m thrilled to have been nominated today for the Shine On Award. Thank you so much to Determined34 for nominating me. It’s so lovely to be thought of.
I originally started writing this blog to help deal with the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder of which one of the worst symptoms for me is loss of memory. It’s terrifying to try to recall things and be unable to. By writing things down, it’s almost like I’m clearing my brain out and allowing it to function properly again. So to see the amount of interest in what I write is extremely humbling and quite overwhelming. Mainly, it is awesome.
This award also asks you to write 7 things about yourself.
1. I’m the 11th of 12 children
2. I am Mum to two adult sons and an angel daughter in heaven.
3. I’m a very enthusiastic Aussie Rules Football fan and follow Geelong Football Club (The Cats)
4. I collect snow domes and Doris Day movies (daggy I know lol).
5. I am 51 years old… but my soul isn’t.. I feel much younger.
6. I bite my fingernails.
7. I love the concept of time travel…
The award also asks you nominate 5 – 10 blogs that you enjoy
There are so many others I could mention and I feel torn choosing them. I hated being captain and having to pick sides at school too. Thanks again for the nomination. It’s so exciting.. 🙂

congratulations! I hope your blogging helps with your STSD, I too suffer from it, but was never told it could be what was causing memory problems. Thanks for the tip.
Memory loss is one of the worst things I deal with I think. The problem is, your brain is incredibly kind, so tries to wipe out things you don’t want to remember but it can’t pick and choose that easily, so it wipes lots of stuff. It’s probably worth seeking out a specialist who deals with PTSD. 🙂
I hate memory loss too; makes me feel lost, like ‘m not in control. suppose control is just an illusion anyway. I have a specialist and it helped; now don’t fret about what is lost . . . too much.
Congratulations! Thank you for bestowing this award to me. I’m thrilled!
Congratulations! I wish the best of luck in all your blogging endeavors for 2013! Continue to shine inspiration through the darkest clouds! Take care.
