I know what you’re thinking- chain letters are not your thing. I get it. I thought the same upon nomination. Initially, I wasn’t interested in participating, however I was curious- who was doing the nominating? I quickly discovered Meghan of Thrive Sensibly was laying down some exceptional content. I may have not discovered her and a collection of other like-minded bloggers had she not nominated me. Thank you Meghan for the nomination- I’m flattered and excited to pay it forward ;).
