Forever Grateful
It is that time again. More SHOUT OUTS for all the new fabulous flowers/followers who have taken a chance on Daisy in the Willows.This is my time to express my gratitude in the best way I know.
It also is a chance to get to know your Blogs more personally. I do go and check out each and every single one of your blogs when I gather my SHOUT OUT list.
It is a great way to keep connected and keep moving forwards – speaking of moving forwards, another week has passed. In 9 days time I will be a married flower!

I am also so happy and grateful for more award nominations. I think I only got an award for swimming and going AWOL during my school days. Oh and graduating-eventually!
So, I always appreciate when I get nominated. It is lovely to be chosen -whether it is random or planned and more personal. It is awesome to receive recognition.
Sometimes, it is what keeps me going until I can pull myself out of whatever crap I am going through.
Blogging is my creative outlet. It is a huge coping tool that I rely on to help me with my Mental Health issues. It is a place I feel accepted and a place a I feel acknowledged for not being perfect or “normal” – whatever that means to a person.
The only other times I always feel accepted for being me, is when I get to volunteer and doing something creative and worthwhile in my community.
Oh and drinking cocktails with friends would be a close third but I can’t really drink too much these days because my health issues ,my medication alcohol and other drugs is not a great mix.
I value my health and my life. Most of the time 80/20 rule, right? 😉
Speaking of cocktails I want to say THANK YOU to Nicky- a fellow cocktail connoisseur from THE SHIMMER WITHIN HER– Find yourself. Be yourself.
She is very pro – using creativity as a form of therapy – high five! My soul sister in her own words
“Who wants to live in a world where everyone shines? ”
NICKY X
I have a lot of time and respect for a Blogger and Person who also likes to see people land on their feet.
SO THANK YOU NICKY- for the
Rules for the Infinity Dreams Award:
-
Thank the blogger who nominated you and link back.
-
Post the award badge and rules (just like this -you can Google this award for an image you prefer)
-
Speak of your 7 dreams.
-
Nominate 7 other bloggers for the award (not sure if this number is supposed to be 7, 10, 0r 11)
DAISY HAS DREAMS – SEVEN OF MY DREAMS ARE:
-
I want to find a way to break away from my life and leave all the materialistic and fake people and things in my life – pack a bag , take my daughter, my G, my Ma and my Miss Tatiana and travel the world – the real world. I believe the whole world is my home.
-
I dream of a day I can truly say a permanent and big FUCK YOU to my thoughts on what I weigh and what I look like.
-
I dream of going back in time and re doing a lot of things just to see what could have happened. I’m curious that way. Nosy too. :D. I have really bad eyesight. I wear contacts and glasses (not at the same time obviously- done that one before-seriously trippy). I feel I missed out on a lot because of my lack of being able to see people and the world when I was growing up. I would love to know how I would have responded to people and my past if I had better eye sight ie wore glasses or contacts.
-
I dream of being able to have a career where I get to be creative every day and make a difference ( Sounds like Miss Universe Speech) . I want another shot at acting and doing anything with an Arts organisation /sector because I am more confident now.
-
I dream of my Blog and my Real world connecting in the future.
-
I dream of having more children and being okay with getting pregnant
-
I dream of continuing to follow the spiritual path I am on ( it is not religious/ God focused or hippy like). It is more about being aware of my Self.

Finally another massive THANK YOU to INSIDE MY MINDS for this:

I THINK THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I ACCEPT THIS AWARD.
THE RULES
-
Write a post showing the award
-
Give a brief story of how your blog started
-
Give two advice to new bloggers
-
Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog
-
Select 15 other blogs you want to give the award too
1. I have always been a pen and paper girl. It just made sense to start to Blog. I should have done it years ago. I suppose if I had started years ago, I wouldn’t have all the experience and things I have to say that I do today.
I wanted to take a chance and see if it wasn’t just my family and friends were just paying me a hugely subjective compliment on my writing or if I did indeed have something I could work with.
It feeds into every aspect of my Life. If I could paint , sing, dance, act-doing anything creative- I would do it. I need to feel free to speak my mind and express myself. If I don’t I tend to get myself into trouble.
ADVICE FROM AN EIGHT MONTH BLOGGER NOVICE.
-
Feel the fear and do it. Hit the publish button. The worst thing can happen is nothing. The best is something. True the stakes get higher the more your Blog grows. Always stay true to yourself and your thoughts. You may lose followers and friends for speaking your mind. Choose wisely. I would rather be popular to a few for being authentic than be popular to millions for being what they want me to be.
Engage- communicate- get to know the world and the people in the Blogging community. Always remember to be polite, keep as humble as you can – there is a saying -it goes soemthing like this:
“Be nice to the people on your way to the top because you never know what the future holds and it is better to have more friends on your way back down than loads of enemies.” -DAISY
There are too many haters in this world – be a good person who does bad things and learn from it…

First, Thankyou so much dear friend for the shoutout. I am so happy to have met you here. I read your writings as well as this very post by you. It’s wonderful to know you. Your dreams are interesting. The firstbone itself caught me, I would love to travel the world with mu besties, parents and sibling. Coming to the glasses/lenses, I can relate to it quite well, I got mine when I was just 7 or 8 I think. I know how difficult it gets! Phewww!! “:( Anyways, you know we have so many things to lookout for in life and these issues seem so petty in front of the great things and moments our future holds for us. Be happy and aim higher, it’s never too late. So so glad to have met you!
Best wishes,
Shambhavi 💗
