I have been blogging for only a short while, and it has been an eye-opening experience! I am learning so much.
When I started this blog, I really just thought that it would be a good way to organize my recipes and share them with family and friends. It has turned into a wonderful, global social network opportunity. I feel like I have a glimpse of the kitchens of other people all over the world. What an amazing concept!
Over the past few months, I have been graciously nominated by my fellow blogging sisters for 3 Versatile Blogger Awards.
As I am time challenged, it is difficult for me to respond to awards, and still post recipes. Unfortunately, however, I am home sick today. So, I have finally had the time to respond to the beautiful support of this community. Thank you all for your kindness and patience.
The rules:
- Thank the person that has nominated you & include a link to their blog.
- Nominate at least 10 blogs of your choice.
- Link your nominees and let them know of your nomination.
- Share seven different facts about yourself.
So, to begin, I would like to thank my fellow blogging sister Parul Singhal from Gharkepakwan for her support and recognition:
https://gharkepakwan.wordpress.com/2015/12/16/the-versatile-blogger-awardmy-first-blogger-award/
I quote her blog often and her blog has introduced me to Indian food, which my family enjoys very much!
I thought I would be a bit creative and share 7 things about myself in an unusual way.
This is something that I often do with my patients and it a wonderful and fun exercise about sharing and identifying who we are.
Who Are You Group Activity
What is your favorite color?
What are 3 qualities about that color that you like?
What is your favorite car?
What are 3 qualities about that car that you like?
What is your favorite animal?
What are 3 qualities about that animal that you like?
Interpretation:
The positive qualities about a particular color are connected to one’s self-esteem, and how one perceives oneself inside.
The positive qualities about a particular car or mode of transportation are the positive qualities that other people identify with you.
The positive qualities about a particular animal are the positive qualities of how a person interacts in their relationships with others particularly as a friend.
So, here are my answers:
- My favorite color is orange.
- I like orange because it is cheerful, attractive and warm.
- My favorite car is my old (and sadly now defunct) Sion XB.
- I like the Sion XB because it is funky, cool and unique.
- My favorite animal is a cat.
- I like cats because they are graceful, soft and elegant.
Interpretation
I see myself as a cheerful, attractive and warm person.
Other people see me as funky, cool and unique.
As a friend I am graceful, soft and elegant.
Try this and see what your answers are. It is lots of fun!
Now for nominations. Here are the 15 blogs on different topics.

My mistake. The go onto your stats page, up at the top just under the address bar there is a line that says insights, days, months, years. Click days. Then it will show what you have done for that day. You should see a graph which will have your vistors and posts for the different days for the last month. Then it will say stats for that day. And it breaks off into two seperate things, on the left you will have your posts that have been read for that day, and on the right which countries have visited you on that day. Scroll down and you will see a box that says referrers, normally wordpress reader is at the top and then it goes all the way down, of how bloggers have found your blog. Then under that you have clicks, so if you put a link up of someone else’s blog or done a reblog how many times someone from your blog has gone to someone elses blog. Hope that helps, if you do have any questions let me know. I love my stats page 🙂

I find it useful to see if people are checking on blogs I promote through awards and reblogs and my links, also its a good way to see if you have been nominated for something or someone has mentioned you but the link hasn’t notified you
