I have been recently enlightened on the process of being nominated with a blog award. I am so incredibly new to the blogging world that I didn’t know you can get blog awards from other bloggers, I also am still trying to figure out how to put the award on the sidebar of my blog-site, haha. I really want to send out a huge “thank you!!” to the person who nominated me: Gina, creator of the blog: Iridescently: http://wordpress.com/#!/read/blog/id/3217531/

I have also been enlightened to blogger award etiquette while being nominated with this fine award. Rules are: you must acknowledge the person who nominated you, share a few interesting facts about yourself and then pass along the award to some other blogs that you might frequent.

So, as much as I don’t like boasting about myself, here is a few interesting facts that I will share about myself as being Ilona:

1.) I was named after my Hungarian Grandmother, who made her way over to the U.S.A. from Hungary through hell and highstorm in 1956 with her two sons and husband.

2.) I was born in Washington DC, raised in Minnesota, and now reside in Portland, OR.

3.) I got my tongue pierced before I got my ears pierced.

And now, for the fun part, I would like to nominate the following blogs that I frequent on a weekly basis:

A Year of Meditating: http://wordpress.com/#!/read/blog/id/30994237/

Through the Looking Glass: http://wordpress.com/#!/read/blog/id/43726546/

…Virtually…: http://wordpress.com/#!/read/blog/id/1697448/

Love2Ascend: http://wordpress.com/#!/read/blog/id/40227697/

That was incredibly tough decision making, with just how many inspiring blogs I follow, P.S. these were given in no particular order.

Thanks to everyone out there for your inspiration and support!

Peace and love 🙂
