Sunshine Blogger Award

The Sunshine Blogger Award is peer recognition for bloggers that inspire positivity and joy who are creative, positive and inspiring. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that I had been nominated for the Sunshine Award by Alicia of Commememucho. She is from Burriana (Castellón) and is a cook with beautiful and tasty recipes.

Thank you so much, Alicia, for the nomination and the support. If you have not read her blog go check it out. What an honor and a boost to my ego (need to keep my ego in check) that my blog is appreciated as well as liked. It is so uplifting and gives me more motivation to continue.

Each nominee passes it on to 11 of their favorite bloggers, and round and round it goes. This is a great way to give recognition to bloggers who may otherwise fly under the radar of many people.

Thank you to all the bloggers who read and find inspiration in my blog. I appreciate the hard work, sweat and share their stories, recipes, and inspire the rest of us!!
