Hi Readers,

Then in November, I got the great news that I have been nominated for two ‘UK BLOG AWARDS in the categories of ‘WELLNESS‘ and ‘GREEN & ECO’ = DOUBLE YAY!
So I want to share with you a selection of my top Wellbeing and Green Eco blog posts that got me noticed and nominated for these blog awards…

The first category is ‘WELLBEING’. You can find my ‘Wellbeing’ posts, from the blog menu under these headings: ‘Encouraging Life Lessons & Positivity’ / Chronic Illness Life / Spiritual Life / Life / My Poetry.

I thought I commented on this before because I voted, but I must have forgotten to come back to this post afterwards! Anyway, I’d wanted to wish you a huuuuge congratulations. Whether you win or not, in my opinion, doesn’t matter – to be in the running is amazing and so very well-deserved. You’re a wonderful blogger & inspire so many, so you’re doing incredibly well. Any ideas on when you’ll learn more about who’s through to final rounds etc? 😀

Hi Cat, the decisions are anounced in April via a instagram live reading of the winners. thenwinners only are invited to a celebratory meal. But as a finalist i do get to go to some UK Blog Award training workshops for bloggers during 2019. I’m waiting to hear more about those, but hopefully some more accessible ones for me to go too…
thank you again for your continued support and encouragement, i really appreciate it and your kind words are fuel for me to keep pushing through to keep blogging… 🙂
