Awards!

A very humbling thank you to all those who have inspired me these many years of posting

Inspiring Blogger Award

I am so grateful to my new British friend and fellow blogger Liam, of “The Life of a  Thinker”,  http://thelifeofathinker.wordpress.com/,  who has been supporting me since I began New Creations Ministries in 2012.  A sincere Thank You.

His kindness in nominating me for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award, as well as the One Beautiful Blogger Award, has been my most prestigious honor since being voted president of my high school. (Yeah, I’m sure he believes that – but come to think of it . . . we do have the original London Bridge not too far away from us in Lake Havasu, Arizona.) Seriously now, Liam also began the chain reaction that awarded me a “Blog of the Year 2012” spot.  So as his reward,  I want to extend an open invitation to him that if he ever wants to brave the 120 degree sunshine of Arizona, he’s welcome to stop by.

My deepest thanks to Kate Bortell for this prestigious Shauny Award. She has truly blessed me because as she stated, this award is “to commit to showing humility and love toward all others, and to enhance these virtues in ourselves and others.”  Humility?  Well that’s debatable but I’m honored that someone thinks so. And love? Absolutely!  How I love all my followers who have encouraged me through their comments and support.

  1. Hi Ellie! Wow! Look at all these awards! Good for you. You’ve worked very hard and have a lovely blog to show it. Thanks for submitting a contact me form. I didn’t know how to respond directly which is why I’m commenting here. I can definitely help your friend and I would feel honoured to guest post. Thank you for asking!! I’ve never done one before so, how does that work?

    • Thank you Judy, I appreciate you getting back to me. As a 60+ aged woman who keeps herself fit and is only now developing the same challenge as my follower, I could sure use your advice too, as would many others. “What to do about the muffin top? How can one get rid of it?!” I believe this is one problem that is basically fixed through exercise rather than through diet choices. Therefore I need suggestions on how to target that body area.

      I’m hoping with your expertise that you might already have a post about this subject but if not I can contribute these suggestions: “Does fat attach itself to certain parts or does it circulates throughout the body?” and “Do spot exercises really work?” “What are the best exercises to help rid ourselves of a muffin top?” “Is it possible to target certain areas through diet alone?”

      A short blog would be fine so it wouldn’t take up too much of your time but help you find additional followers.

      I have answered Naydess’s questions on my previous post comments, “So what about those high protein diets” one of my first posts, which you can find in the search engine on my blog. There you can get the general gist of her question. If you want to forward the post to my personal email that would be great and of course you would be featured as a guest blogger. My email is itascaellie@hotmail.com and it can be sent in the body or as an attachment. I can find a photo if you don’t have one already.

      Thank you again Judy. I hope it won’t take too long to write and I will post it as soon as possible. Blessings,

    • Awww shucks, thanks, but these awards are usually given out only as a fun way to discover new personality traits about our followers – it is a nice compliment however. I really can’t claim anything special, pshaw, 🙂 I’m certain you will win a bunch yourself, they are time consuming though and I find it hard to accept them any longer. ❤
