Outstanding Blogger Award

Posted byLisa at Micro of the MacroPosted inAwardsTags:, , , , , , ,

I was recently nominated by Angela from SUITCASE Travel Blog for the Outstanding Blogger Award.  Heartfelt thanks, Angela!  Like me, Angela is passionate about travel, exploration, meeting new people & learning new customs.  I do hope you’ll show her some love by visiting her beautiful site!

Rules

  1. Provide a link to the original creator’s award post, as well as one to the blogger who nominated you.
  2. Answer the questions provided.
  3. Compose 7 questions of your own.
  4. Nominate & notify up to 10 bloggers.
  5. Continue your awesome support of our blogging community!

Angela’s Questions

1. How did you choose the name for your blog? What’s the story behind it?  The name of my blog comes from a precept of Ayurveda, an ancient healing system based on balancing all aspects of self (the micro) and environment (the macro) to create optimal health and well-being.

2. How do you motivate yourself to keep blogging?  I am motivated by learning new information that helps me be the best version of myself, as well as the desire to share it in hopes of inspiring others.

3. If you would create another blog what would it be?  My current blog is broad enough to cover all the topics I want to write about, from health to vegan recipes to travel, so I wouldn’t consider a second blog.

4. What hobby do you have beside the blogging?  I enjoy cooking, reading, travel & the planning that goes with it, spending time in Nature, photography, and learning.

5. What are your essential travel apps or gadgets?  I am pretty old-school when it comes to travel.  I will research my destination online, and sometimes use a navigational device if I’m driving, but nothing fancy.  I still enjoy travel guide books. And one of my most exciting recent purchases was a road atlas!

6. Once you can plan your next vacation, where will you go?  I have begun planning a camping trip for early summer.  We will sleep in a tent, hike, and photograph the 3 parks in California’s Sierra Nevada.  I can hardly wait!

7. What superpower would you like to have?  I would like to be able to reverse the environmental damage done to our beautiful planet.  For example, when (even more) forest land is burned or clear-cut for the purpose of raising cattle for commercial consumption, I’d like to have an immediate awareness of it, appear on the scene, and cause all of the trees, shrubs, and wildlife to be instantly restored.

  11. Look at those adorable eyes! Glad to know more about you. Thanks for sharing and for the nomination. I’ve been blogging for a long time, so I appreciate the nomination, Although I won’t be participating, I will answer some questions here.

    After 11+ years and over 2300 posts, I retired my little corner of the world. Actually, it was early February 2020. If anyone decides to step away from blogging, I recommend a planned exit because it gives closure to the host and the visitors. I returned as Beach Walk Reflections this past October … SO … I invite anyone here to visit for relaxation and thought provoking essays.

  15. Congratulations, Lisa, and thanks for the nomination. I enjoyed learning more about you, but I think I might learn more on Monday. 🙂 See you soon. I’m also a fan of road atlases because I like knowing where things are in relation to other things, something that doesn’t happen with an app. I did get the large print version, though. We have very similar interests.

      1. Me, too. Hopefully the weather and roads wn’t be too bad. I’m used to driving in and on snow, but my husband’s worried about the crazy Arizona drivers and trust me, we’ve seen a lot of them in our 8+ months here. 🙂
