Howdy! Firstly I'd like to give a special thank you to Hilary, and Magda, for nominating me for a Liebster Blog Award! I did TRY to insert links, (found the button) but find it's not working! I do feel flattered! I admit, I have never really figured out this copy and paste thing, - although I'm sure it's not too hard. I can't get the link to the Liebster Blog award here on my blog either!
I was thinking about the five blogs who I would nominate IF I could figure out the links. Today: - since I'm behind with the links I have decided not to nominate any awards but I will list a few of my favourite blogs, (or at least the authors) whom I like to read at least semi regularly! Firstly, - there are a few blogs which I used to love to follow but for some reason they have decided to stop blogging or go private. I find that a pity when that happens as I miss the read, but totally respect anyones decision to blog/not blog/keep it private etc! I totally know time is a big thing too, and if some people, (me moreso these days) leave some big time gaps between updates.
In no particular order some blogs/peoples websites I currently check at least fortnightly but often at least weekly are:
* Hilary, - Making Each Day Count
* Magda, - Life As I see It
* Phil, - Skinny Latte Strikes Back
* Kat, - www.katmillar.com
* Sara, - Sanaworld
* Liz, - Last Chance Training
* Kerryn, - Fitbodyfifty
* Craig, - www.craigharper.com.au
* Rae, - www.raecattach.com
* Angela, - www.angelahiggins.com
* Ben, www.bencrawfordphotography.co.nz
So well done all! I do have a check of other blogs too, (off blog links etc too) but all these blogs are ones I have been following with interest for quite some time.
Next bit of news: I got to see AND talk to Craig Harper, (website listed above) today! Yesterday he updated on his blog that he was going to be in Perth today and was going to be at the reception of one of Perth's leading hotels at 12pm for anyone who wanted to catch up. The plan was then to head somewhere close by for a casual coffee for an hour or two. I kinda decided to make what I considered a semi smart remark on his blog saying......'sorry, boss won't let me leave my coffee shop where I work at lunch but if you come and have coffee where I work, I will give you a free coffee and lunch'. I did add that my work is at least a 15 min walk from the hotel where he was but I listed a vague address where the coffee shop I work in was!
Well oh well!!! Now who did I see today rock up to my work mid morning??? The man himself! It took me a split second to realise who he was, we were head down/bum up with catering orders. It was a big 'WOW'!!! He ordered a coffee, I had to leave him standing by himself for a few minutes cause of other customers and jobs but I was eventually able to get outside and chat to him for maybe 4-5 mins! I really didn't expect to see him at all today so this really made my day. And he is.....and looks so FIT! He'd been for a workout early this morning. He sure practises what he preaches! I didn't even bother offering him one of the sweet pastries or muffins or croissants we sell! Many thanks to Craig today for dropping by work!
I am feeling my ambitions are quite high now, (for me). This fear of failure/wheels flying off half way up is scary! But hey, if I give it an effort I'm happy with......who cares if getting to the destination takes a little longer, or if I even decide on a different destination or route! EFFORT I'M HAPPY WITH CONSISTENTLY are the key words here! Champs have it :-)
Pip
