From little acorns...


“An oak tree is an oak tree. That is all it has to do. 

If an oak tree is less than an oak tree, then we are all in trouble.”

Thích Nhất Hạnh





As you can see from the new badge on the right.. I have indeed been nominated for the Blog Awards Ireland ... in four categories... (FOUR!!!!!) Best Health & Wellbeing, Best Food & Drink, Best Lifestyle & Best Personal Blog...

I know people can think I'm being coy or aloof or shy or just trying to play it cool when I say I'm surprised by it ... but I am genuinely thrilled to be nominated... sure I'm still not over the amount of hits I get... you do love your takeaways kids! 

This little blog started off as a tool to look inside myself, to see why I was on this path of destruction ... using food as a weapon, covering myself in a layer of fat to protect myself from the world and hiding out from all the living I could have been doing... (and also to have one place where all my fav foods in Supervalu were propointed!)... it has been hard... there has been tears and laughter and successes and failures .. I've met some amazing people.. I'm motivated every single day by a message or tweet or email... and its hard to believe that something as silly as my general musings and occasional swearings/rants is so liked ... 

I'm humbled and grateful ...

Thank you to whoever nominated me (they can't all be my mum!)

PS: I'm currently writing my Oscar type speech and practicing my gracious 'I'm so happy YOU won' face >>HERE<< .. tears or no tears a la Gwyneth???

  6. I was over the moon when I found your blog when I started WW a few years ago, it was the only one I could relate to because you were talking about products or things relevant to me. Your nominations are well deserved and I hope you go all the way and take the crown ;-) x
