I have been nominated for the ‘My Liebster Award, 2016’

I have been nominated for the Liebster Award!!! Though it is not the highest honor in Literature, I feel privileged and touched and I want to thank Birgit for nominating me. Birgit (http//www.grooveisintheheart.co.za) has a beautiful blog and writes about travel and everyday things. We also discovered that we have a few things in common, like finding reality oppressive.

Blogging has been on my to do list for years, but I started working on it just 4 months ago. I wasn’t sure what I would write about or who my audience would be, but decided to give it a try. It has been really nice being part of the blogging community, with varied personalities, writing styles and thinking. I feel my world has expanded. Sometimes I feel I know people, just by the way they write, and that is a very nice feeling! Thank you to all those who read my blog, you make my days.:)

Here are 10 things about me:

1. I am an Occupational therapist and have a master’s degree in Psychology. I have never been sure which of two I relate better to, I’m happy being a bit of both!
2. I work in the Neonatal Intensive care unit and am passionate about my work, there is nothing I rather do.
3. I have a son aged 6 and a daughter aged 4 and worry a lot about my parenting skills, and wonder very often if I’m getting it right.
4. I am a bookworm, according to my mom even before I could read! I would like to publish a book some day.
5. I love studying too (my friends think I’m nuts!), at the moment trying to learn statistics (I can hear the ugh :)) and German!!!
6. I am an idealist who thought I could change the world, but that was long time back.
7. My sense of injustice is ever active, but I feel very hopeless when there is nothing I can do to change it.
8. I love music, and would love to dust my violin, piano and recorder and play….
9. I am quite critical of myself and am improvising all the time, at least trying to.
10. Oh…. I can’t think of anything else about me….
