I’m happy to announce that I’ve recently received another blogger award nomination. This time it’s from the lovely Deandra over at The Black Princess Diaries for The Real Neat Blog Award. She’s a lifestyle blogger who shares her poetry, her thoughts on various subjects, and tips. I’ve received a few blog award nominations throughout my time blogging, and it’s always an honor to be recognized by fellow bloggers. This award gives the nominator the opportunity to learn seven new things about the bloggers they nominate by asking them seven questions. So, I want to thank Deandre for nominating me and be sure sure to check out her blog and her post here.

There are times in our lives where we are faced with difficult emotions like anger, fear, loneliness, pain, and sadness are inevitable. We choose to push it away and distract ourselves, pretend that’s everything is Ok, or snap at those trying to help. But these things don’t make the situation better. So it’s vital to have mindful coping strategies for dealing with difficult emotions. Instead of using avoidance as a way to deal with difficult emotions, try one of these mindful ways to process difficult emotions.

There’s a lot of blogger awards out there and it’s always an honor to be nominated for one. I want to thank Kim from Kim’s DIY Tribe for nominating me for The Blogger Recognition Award. She’s a hard-working blogger who creates amazing DIY projects. Her vision is to transfer her blog into a digital DIY magazine complete with craft, decorating, homesteading, and cooking “how to’s”. Her post will inspire you to find your creative outlet, so whether you’re a beginner or a crafting pro head on over to Kim’s DIY Tribe for some creative inspiration. You can check out her Blogger Recognition Award post here.
