I have some humbling news to
share.
News that plants a big cheesy
smile on my face.
Five fellow bloggers have
selected Paper Planes Connect for The Liebester Award – an award system among
blog creators acknowledging the fine efforts of their writing companions. It
has German origins and translates to mean ‘dearest’ or ‘valued’ among other
endearing terms.
A big warm thank you to Nikki deVet, Ariadne Kaps, Jennifer Kennedy, Carly Jennings and Meegs Gogall for
recognising the value of Paper Planes Connect and its stories. It means the
world to me and the connectors on this page.
I have answered the 10 questions
each blogger have asked of me below. Think soul-stirring secrets. Getting
comfortable with big fears. Sharing deeply rooted desires and dreams.
So, let’s begin shall we?
Nikki from nikkidevet.com is a seeker exploring how to create a life she loves living
How did you
end up at this exact point in your life?
With belief, positive action, compassion and
a whole lot of love and support from my nearest and dearest.
What was
your New Year’s resolution for 2014?
I didn’t necessarily carve up a resolution
this year. Instead, I followed Danielle LaPorte’s suite and centred on how I
wanted to FEEL. This year my word is Light
(in all its marvellous carnations!)
What is
your favourite city and why?
As someone who adores jungles and the sea,
cities haven’t always been my cup of tea, but I must say that I love London.
It’s got charm and royal flair. Its trimmed edges are juxtaposed with quirky
and arty expression. It’s a place of
counter cultures. Multiculturalism at its finest. I love walking down the
street and seeing a lady dressed in a hijab with child in hand; a man playing
his harmonica to Bob Marley beats in the name of freedom; a lady in her sixties
dressed so eloquently in a finely pressed suite with a fashion label that probably
predates her ancestors.
Are you
head or heart driven?
Heart, though I consciously check-in with
myself when the head and heart play tugger war.
What is
your favourite quote?
“I've
learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel” – Maya Angelou (I adore
Maya!)
What is the
craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Craziet, yet best? Stepped out of the
expectation mold, left security behind and embraced hands with wild and free.
