Update + Awards

So i have been off the grid for a while. A number of things has happened and a lot has changed. So, here are my updates.

9/11
I wont say a lot because every time i think of September 11 i get very emotional. But what i will say is let us never forget.

Burglary
I mentioned in a previous post that my home was burglarized. I am happy to say that my hangbag was returned with the papers to the car and all.  The only thing that was missing from my bag was my MP4. I am feeling very blessed.

Work
I am back at work with my kids. By now most of you might have guessed that i am a teacher. One of the reasons, why i have been away is that the new school year started September 5. I have been busy  in one meeting or another for the last two weeks. It's a lot of work, my average class is 45 to 46 students. I most say i am finally getting use to the idea. It's crazy i know but it works somehow.

Awards
While i was here and away i awarded a couple of blog awards by my follow bloggers. I must say that whenever i am given a blog related award i am extremely honoured. I started blogging to fight the blues and i never thought that i would have so many readers much less recieving any kind of award.

My First Award is from Kassandra one of my new followers. This award is the Versatile Blogger.

My second Award comes from the wild child herself  Stacey. The Liebster award (“Liebster” is the German word for friend or love) originated in Germany. The aim of the award is to bring more attention to blogs with fewer than 200 followers. I feel especially honoured to be given this award; since it is for bloggers with under 200 followers and she still choose to give me.

Stay tune for part 2 when i hand out these award to my fellow bloggers.

Positive Wednesdays +Blog Hop

Today's Positive Wednesday is a two in one. I wanted to share my positivity, as usual, but i also want to have a meet and greet in the form of a blog hop. This is my first time hosting a blog hop, so i decided i wanted to share the experience with three other beautiful bloggers.

Surrounding Yourself with the Right People

It's easy to recognize a perfect candidate for your support team. Just look for someone who has a way of making everyone else around them better: someone who succeeds by developing other people and letting them in on the fun; someone who is genuinely happy when other people succeed. That's the person you want on your side. The pages of history are heavy with tales of the misguided who were proven wrong while insisting something couldn't be done. Why put up with that? Believe in your goals enough to know that you shouldn't stomach people who don't. It's okay if you're the only one who believes in your dream. But someone who truly believes in YOU should help you believe that if anyone can do it, you can.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great.
