I got double-tagged. A truly lovely compliment from two adorable and bird-like ;) bloggers I admire - Laurel of HappySimpleLife and un bel Oiseau. I first came across Oiseau's ("Bird") blog a while ago and then Laurel's (who shares my adoration of Gatsby); I found that they have a winged obsession in common, remember Laurel?
I adore this award, it's so unfluffy and simple, it's a bit English too, which fits, so thanks! So the rules are, according to Laurel:
I need to copy the logo and place it on my blog (Right)
Link it back to the person who gave it to me (Which? I'll put both)
Pass it on to five fellow bloggers (Gladly)
List 10 things about myself (OK, this should be easy for a relatively anonymous blog)
Before I give my 10, I would like to pass this on to, in alphabetical order and with just one of their talents highlighted:
Anika - Book collector
Lori Ann - Traveller
Pamela - From the House of Edward - Wordsmith
Renee - Circling my head - Survivor
Pamela - From the House of Edward - Wordsmith
Renee - Circling my head - Survivor
Will Bryant- Artist/Illustrator
If you have been tagged, then I hope that we can find out 10 more things about you. I'm not sure what to write, so here follows a simple stream of consciousness.
My ten are:
1. I am an optimist with a reality hat on. I see the world as it is but rose-scented.
2. By the age of twelve, I had visited over forty countries. I love travel but have a nesting instinct.
3. I decided to be a writer early on after my love of reading. I decided to be a Filmmaker too aged sixteen after reading Orson Welles' biography by Barbara Leaming. He was a misfit and nothing else fits but film and words.
4. I choose my close friends carefully (sometimes after a minute) but am friendly to everyone. Life is too short and precious to be cold.
5. Last year I was faced with my own mortality. It was a tough time but brought me back to my true course; I quit my current work and decided to direct my own projects. Nothing teaches you more about reality than realising how short life is. I'm fine now.
6. Although I live by the city, I like oceans, lakes and mountains. Nature refreshes me, if I had a choice I would eat facing a view, all the time.
7. I don't drink.
8. I think Africa is the most beautiful, varied and mysterious continent. From Mozambique to Morocco, so earthy and ethereal.
9. I believe in God. My DNA is because of him, I'm grateful.
10. I don't know what to put for 10, I really don't. If you have read my blog and you know anything I can put there then let me know. Good or bad, I don't mind.
Peace,
