1. My first puppy was called Mustard Pickles Baartz
2. I attended 11 different schools as a child
3. I have two brothers and two sisters, one of my sisters, Amelia, died at birth but we often see her looking after the new babies that come into the family
4. A priest once told me that dogs didn’t go to heaven so now I don’t trust organised religion.
5. I don’t use pegs to hang out the washing
6. I am about 46 and will keep dying my hair until I am fifty, then I will re consider allowing it to gracefully turn silver like poetry
7. I deeply love and believe we are not a multitude at all, but one massive beast of pure conscious awareness

Please accept my dearest compliment on your blog and your endeavors. You were or are following a blog called opt4 whose goal was to prevent domestic violence and promote nonviolence. My name is Chad Herman, Visionary/Motivational speaker and I was writing that blog for over 3 years. Everything you saw on that blog was my creation…and I hope you liked it. Unfortunately, because of federal budget cuts, I no longer am able to keep up that blog. I hope that others will in my absence, but I don’t know. With that said: I have my own blog, motivatingforpositivechange.wordpress.com dedicated to the idea that “if we all did something to help a cause we truly believe in, we could change the world.” I still write about gender equality and nonviolence, in addition to multiple otrher causes and ways to continue creating positive change.Please check out motivatingforpositivecghange.wordpress,com.

At any rate, in response to Brooke’s Sister’s nominating me for a Super Sweet Blogger award, I’m extending a nomination to you as well. You’re free to decline, of course. Or should you accept, there are five requirements. Either way, thanks for all the fine posts you’ve been sharing. Tootles!
1. Thank the Super Sweet Blogger who nominated you.
2. Answer 5 Super Sweet questions. (See below.)
3. Include the Super Sweet Blogging Award in your blog post. (It’s the cupcake illustration.)
4. Nominate a baker’s dozen (13) other deserving bloggers.
5. Notify your Super Sweet nominees on their blog.
FIVE SUPER SWEET QUESTIONS
1. Cookies or Cake? Both?
2. Chocolate or Vanilla?
3. Favorite Sweet Treat?
4. When Do You Crave Sweet Things the Most?
5. Sweet Nickname?
Here’s hoping you accept.
