Liebster Award - I Was Nominated!
Because I am such a ditz, it took me over a month to realize that I had been nominated for a Liebster Award!
The award is given to a blogger with less than 200 followers and nominations are received from other bloggers. In order to accept the award, the nominator has provided us with 11 questions to answer about ourselves and our blog.
1.How did you decide on the title of your blog?
There's a song by Emeli Sande called "Heaven" that I first heard while watching a runway show and I fell in love with it. She frequently says "oh, heaven" in the song and I thought it was the perfect fit for me and my blog.
2.What is one word that sums up the heart of your blog and why?
Since my blog is constantly evolving, I would have to go with curious and trying. I'm always wondering about new things and wanting to try them out! So, curious is definitely the perfect word!

3.What’s your favorite pastime other than blogging?
Reading and learning! Gah, I am such a nerd but it honestly never ends!

4.What is your favorite aspect of blogging?

5.Which recipe, project, idea, or post on my blog would you most like to try yourself or liked the most?
I was nominated by Faith n' Coffee and something I love about her blog is her fearlessness to not hold back! I am still working through my barriers of being super shy but I am slowly getting there! Within time who knows where I'll be!

6.Where does your blog inspiration come from?
Since I am all over the place most of the time with my ideas, inspiration comes from anywhere! Usually I find it in the people I meet, things I read, pictures and music. I know what inspires me but sometimes I shock myself and get inspiration from something weird like...food.

7.What is one country in the world you would like to visit and why?
India! There is something about that country that really just draws me in and captures me. The colors, the people, the religions...I love it all! Definitely in my top five of places I want to visit.

8.If you have children, what are their names? If not, what are your favorite boy and girl names?
Okay, so since my name is a little different I would love to keep that pattern going in my kids. I love the name Enna for a girl and Grayson for a boy.

9. A long lost relative leaves you a large sum of money. What do you do with it?
Pay for school! That is honestly my first priority right now! Then I'd probably use the rest to travel and start my own business.

10.In your opinion, what is the best blog post you’ve written so far? (Include the link)
"Constant" is my favorite post so far. It's the first time I actually let myself be vulnerable on this blog and write what I was really feeling. I want to take this blog more in that direction so more will be coming soon!

11.What is your favorite food?
That's like asking what is my favorite air to breathe. I love almost everything and am always willing to try new things!
12. (added by Selbe) Where do you see your blog going in the next year?
