Thank you for sharing!

My goal is to spread sunshine and joy everywhere I go, in all that I do, and through my stories. My philosophy on life is to make this world a better place by positively impacting lives and bringing happiness to other people, building and encourage others in their lives, and to have the courage to go after their dreams.

To the people I have nominated 🙂 …

1. I have chosen to ask these same questions. Feel free to create your own if you would like your nominees to answer others or if you would like to answer something else.
2. When I nominated you, I thought about how much joy you have brought to my life simply by posting something and that is why your blog site is listed below. I follow a lot of blogs and I do so because each one of them gives me happiness, teaches me a lesson in some way, tells me all about another part of the world or helps me to become a better person in some way and so, in saying that, I would have nominated all those that I follow.
3. So, to all of you who are listed here and even if you are not listed but want to be a part of this, enjoy doing or fulfilling the nomination if you would like to. Have a wonderful week and may joy be a huge part of it!
