Thank You “Mommy, Unplugged”  for the nomination to the, “One Lovely Blog Award,” you are a hard act to follow. 

These Seven Things…….

1. I was a teenage mother who graduated high school 6 months pregnant during a time when it still just wasn’t acceptable. I had to tell my mother who happened to be pregnant at the same time.  My oldest daughter and sister are 8 months apart and graduated in the same class, at the same high school.  (Teen Pregnancy Free)  And, now the high school has a day-care.  People say it repeats, it does not have to.
2. I married at 17.  I am still married to my only love and best friend in all of life, and beyond.  We now have 3 amazing children and a beautiful grand-daughter.
3. I took a part-time job in the customer service industry and turned it into a career of 30 years.  I worked for only 2 companies during that duration who helped me transfer within, up and down the west coast, while my husband mastered his professional career.
4. I write historical romance novels.  I went to college for creative writing at 19.  I felt too old, not finishing.  I have over 17 novels waiting to be addressed, 1 completed, and 2 separate children’s series in the works.
5. All of these I’s are starting to frighten me, I do not talk about myself.
6. In life I have dealt with taking care of consumer’s needs and upsets.  Those customers with complaints have learned they get rewarded and have turned it into sport.  I have left my job to pursue my dreams as a writer and while I prepare for publishing, my “Send Sunshine” blog was created.  Life is just too short.
7. Negativity should not be honored before positivity, as adults we should know better.  I am a genuine, good person who loves life and while I am alive, I choose to speak out and make a difference one ray of light at a time.

For my nominations I would like to honor:  Oxygen4thejourney, A Maine Mama, The crafty lady in combat boots, Victor B., Abbie’s Babble, Ramblin’ Rose, Optimistic Kid, A Momma’s View, WifeMomDDH, and last, but most definitely not least, Poetically Spoken.
