Two fellow bloggers, Jennifer Avventura of My Sardinian Life | La Mia Vita Sarda and Emma of Emma’s Life Unravel recently passed the baton over to my blogs thirdeyemom and thethirdeyeworld for the Inspiring Blog Award. I must say that I’m very flattered to receive this award but I am more excited to pass it on to new bloggers that I’ve found. So I’m going to break the rules a bit and skip the part of telling “7 things about myself” and instead add my own twist…..
I’m going to put a few of my favorite inspirational quotes alongside some of my favorite shots. (Can’t you tell I like to break the rules!)
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them”. - Henry David Thoreau
“Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back”. – Babe Ruth
“Believe you can and you’re halfway there”.-Theodore Roosevelt
The only one stopping you is yourself……..
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky”.- Rabindranath Tagore
Here are my nominees, all new blogs I recently started following and have taken inspiration in their photos and words:
- Mirth and Motivation
- Scene Stealer
- Angelinem’s Blog
- Another Day in Paradise
- Live simply, travel passionately, and don’t forget to breathe
- Jumble
- Zeebra Designs and Destinations
I recently noticed that WordPress added a widget allowing you to list the blogs you follow which I hope to include soon on my blogs. I’m always searching for new blogs to inspire me! So stay tuned…..
Congrats! Love the pictures and quotes!!!
Thanks! I love your blog and it was at the tip of my tongue to list it but I inadvertently forgot (I had to hurry up and finish the post before the kids destroyed the house)…..next award goes to you!!!!!!
Aw! Thanks!
Congrats on the award, Nicole. I just started following Zeebra Designs, as well. Great blog! Hope you week is going well.
Hugs,
Kathy
Thanks Kathy!
All of your photos are incredible, and I love the quotes. Thoreau is one of my all-time favorites! Thank you, (and thanks, too, to talented Kathryn!) for the honor. Twas a very long day, and this award reminds me that rainbows do indeed follow the storms! I’m honored! Z
Thank you for being inspired with my works as I am of yours. Super hugs from this side of the world.
Amazing pictures… the one witht the clouds over the lake… the reflection is like a mirror!
Thank you Nicole! My favorite quote is by another Roosevelt – Eleanor Roosevelt is credited with “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Thanks for the inspiration.
Great quote!
Congratulations! And thank you for your generosity in passing it on. I am so enjoying your blog, and look forward to checking in on the other blogs you have nominated.
I look forward to see what you write Angeline! Now that the mermaid is done, what’s next?
Congratulations on your award! It is truly beautiful and I love that bird of peace descending from the heavens. Thank you too for including my blog on your list… much appreciated.
Blessings!
