….and I’d like to thank
Thank you very much indeed to fellow-bloggers Travel and Share for nominating Cherrylsblog.com for a Liebster Award, it’s a very kind gesture and I’m grateful for the nomination. I’m also glad you’ve enjoyed reading the blog and hope I can keep you reading in the future π€ π
Everyone – please take look at Travel and Share as they will take you on some lovely travel adventures, like their wonderful 50 day globe hopping trip from Delhi to Amsterdam, via Dubai – including the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Switzerland – real jet setters βοΈ π«Β P.S. Mini Europe (in Brussels) looks like fun, I’d never heard about this before!!
Thank you again, Travel and Share x
Here are my answers to Travel and Share’s questions:
- What is your favourite genre to read and why? Psychological suspense/thriller type books are my easy ‘go-to’ for a story I probably wouldn’t ever have dreamed up in real life – but could happen in real life!! π
- What colour best describes you as a person and why? I’d say yellow. On the whole I’m normally looking on the bright side of life, chasing the sun and trying to spread some cheer. As a young child, yellow was always my favourite colour too! Plus, I choose yellow for my Twitter display colour and I use a lot of yellow emojis lol πππ€
- If travel into outer space were as simple as traveling around the world, where would you go and why? I don’t think I’d want to go into outer space tbh, at the moment it feels like a step too far…. π but I’d be curious to hear about yours and other people’s planetary visits if this became the norm!! In theory, Mars is not too far away from earth on the solar system and Mercury would probably be way too hot. I’d be curious to hear about any martian contact π½ if there are any martians or life on other planets, assuming they’re friendly. π
- Is the statement, βBlack Lives Matterβ racist?Β No. It is an umbrella term that recognises an injustice that is rooted in race, specifically to the disadvantage of black lives. It’s not racist it is simply more ‘specific’ rather than completely general. π Any term can be ‘used’ in a racist way though – but the term itself is not racist.
- Is the statement, βAll Lives Matterβ racist? In itself no – seems pretty much on a par with ‘human rights’ However, if “All Lives Matter” is used as a means of disregarding and generalising BLM so that it serves to diminish the BLM plight, that’s wrong. All causes against injustice deserve their rightful ‘specific’ recognition – but it doesn’t mean they are any more important than any other cause. π§Β
- Why did you answer questions 4 and 5 as you did? Because those are my views. π
- Whom have you considered your most important role model and why? I wouldn’t pick just one, there have been many who have all made a strong impression me. I try to take inspiration from as many people as possible. π«
- Why do we have parents? Because it is (for the most part at least) deemed inhumane for a child to be left to raise/fend for themselves with no parental (biological parent or otherwise) input and protection.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β In addition – there are a whole host of psychological theories around attachment and emotional health associated with bonding and consistent relationships with caregivers/parents that add weight to the ‘need’ for parents….and in most cases, I think people generally feel it is a natural/God given/biologically and /or morally driven role to ‘parent’ the children they produce and also desire it for children who are missing a connection to biological parents. π€
- What is most important: to have peace of mind or to have a million dollars? Peace of mind. π
- What does writing do for you personally?Β It offers a reflective and creative outlet that I can archive and look back on – as well as share with others. βοΈ
- Do you engage in the visual arts (i.e., painting, sketching, sculpting)? If so, which? No, but I love buying paintings – great holiday souvenirs!!Β Wouldn’t mind having a go at some scenic painting thoughΒ – waves, sunsets – that type of thing! π¨
Since there were 11 questions above – I’ll ask 11 questions below too (I think some people only ask 5)
