11 Questions from Courtney

1. Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging because I needed an outlet for my thoughts. After not writing for many years, I also had a sudden urge to write again.

2. What is your happiest memory from this past year?

Being a child chasing butterflies and not having a care in the world.

3. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

The Maldives and Europe, especially Italy and Wales.

4. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Ackee and saltfish and fried ripe breadfruit or fried dumplings (as I noted earlier, it’s my favourite)

5. What is the one thing that you cannot leave the house without?

My handbag.

6. Have you ever been told that you look like a celebrity? If so, which one?

Can’t say I’ve been told so.

7. What is your dream job?

Working at something that I enjoy, involves customer service, different locations and luxurious travel, tons of perks, pays excessively and has no take home work.

8. If you could be any fictional character, who would it be and why?

Cinderella. After a much misfortune, she finds happiness and true love in the end.

9. What would your superpower be?

Jesus. (He’s the Highest Power anyway.}

10. What do you miss most about being a kid?

Innocence, laughing and being carefree.

11. What would the title of your autobiography be?

Happy Endings are not only for Fairy Tales: My Life story

    • You can’t put people to sleep, Ms Nina. Every post you write is engaging, and I’ve learnt some things about you already through what you have shared, but there are thousands of bloggers waiting to meet you. You’re in the WordPress Reader so they are seeing your posts. Now wow them like you’ve wowed me for the last year. I know you’ll be seeing an increase in follows and page views from this added exposure through these awards, even while they take up so much time to respond to. But you deserve every one though and that’s why I send them over so fast to you. More people ought to be reading you, This is just one little way to add to your growing follower list. God bless.
