About the Blogger Recognition Award

The Blogger Recognition Award is an award given in recognition of all the hard work that goes into creating a blog. It is a way for bloggers to support, motivate and promote other bloggers who have clearly put in huge amounts of time and effort, and produced valuable content.

Bloggers are very talented people – they work hard, they promote, market, advertise, and run a busy site.

They organise all kinds of activities, they encourage, motivate, interact, engage and are community orientated. It matters not if they are shy and reticent or loud and personable – each actively progressive blogger is the same – they all work hard and passionately with their blogs, they put the hours in to deliver to their audience each day a welcoming location to read, absorb, learn and have fun.

To escape the hustle bustles of city life, or the begrudgeries of boredom – they entice readers to peruse their pages to look for entertainment.

That is what the BRA celebrates.

How my blog Started

When I went to college, I really didn’t know what I wanted to do. I just chose to study what I was interested in. Alternative health is very broad and covers so many different therapies. Once I received my Bachelor’s degree in Alternative and Complimentary health, I realized I was interested in so much of it, rather than one particular health modality.

Five years went by, and I hadn’t done anything with my degree. There was no particular area I wanted to specialize in. And it just hit me one day, why not just write about all of it? So, in April 2019, I started writing for my degree. Now I think of having a really broad field of study as a bonus.

The first few months were hard. I don’t know how many people have created a web site and blog using only their phone? I wasn’t used to writing every day, and when I started out, those first few weeks, it was more about learning WordPress than writing. I’ve gradually gotten to where a day doesn’t feel complete until I’ve written
something for my blog.😊 Now I use a tablet at times so I’m not always on such a small screen.

TWO PIECES OF ADVICE TO NEW BLOGGERS

•There are a lot of blogs that give out great advice on writing and blogging! Learn from them and your fellow bloggers! And, like Ashok said, DON’T QUIT! Interact and connect with people and you’ll start building your friendships and followers.

•Share your genuine self with the world! One word and post at a time. Have fun!
