Sunshine Blogger Award: A Sunny Nomination Story

Imagine my surprise to find myself immersed in a Twitter blogger community overnight and be nominated for an award shortly thereafter!

My first blogger award nomination: Sunshine Blogger Award and I’m beside myself!

Of course, if you’re an experienced blogger you’re probably thinking “slow down there Grace, blogger award nominations are an every day occurrence in Twitterlandia, don’t over think it.” But hey, can you blame a girl for getting excited about some social media visibility? After all, the end game here is self-sustainability.

Let’s begin by sending a big Texas size thank you to Lasonia, her Lifestyle Blog and chat up the back story here.

A little history about the “Sunshine Blogger Award.” It was created to showcase all those inspiring, creative and uplifting bloggers out there.
