Humble achievements:

I feel humbled to be generously given the Versatile Blogger Award by Pam Maynard, Pamela Maynard’s Pen. Thank you so very much Pam for thinking of me as a blogger worthy of recognition. I appreciate it a lot, as it means a great deal to me!

I met Pam through the latest social networking site Google+, and her blog is a place full of creative information about parenting, raising kids, working full time, and inspirational stories for children. She is a working parent, yet a full-fledged mother to her adorable son, a devoted wife, and the lovable owner to numerous pets!

(Updated on 9th June 2014: I was fortunate once again to receive the Versatile Blogger award from Maketta of Money To Be Made, and I thank him for bestowing this honor on me.)

Now about the Versatile Blogger Award:

As a recipient of getting this fabulous honor, I am asked to pass the torch to a few of my recently discovered blogs, though there are some rules to follow. Therefore, if you receive this award from me and you choose to accept it, these rules are for you too…

  • Thank the person who awarded it to you, by linking back to them in your post.
  • Share 7 things about yourself in your blog post.
  • Pass this award along to 15 recently discovered blogs (contact the owners to let them know too!)
Choosing 15 recently discovered blogs is no easy task from the long list of my favorites. However, I had to narrow down as per the requirement and they are mentioned here in no particular order, just the ones that I discovered recently, and I enjoy reading. Passing on the Versatile Blogger Award to the following 15:

My recently discovered favorite blogs:

1- Live and Love with Passion by Sally Brown

2- Awareness Musings by Carol Wiley

3- Quips and Tips for Money and Love by Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen

4- Releasing Me Today by Deeone Higgs

5- Happy Fit Coaching by Linda Formichelli

To mention seven things about myself:

  1. I am a professional freelance writer, with ten years of experience. I completed my Masters in English Literature and Bachelors in Education, before I ventured into commercial writing.
  2. I am passionate about writing, and have produced numerous articles for websites, as well as for offline media like publication magazines.
  3. Please visit my website and go through my detailed profile, to know more about me. You may like to check out two of my blogs- one related to family and life issues, and the other to freelance writing. Feel free to connect with me on Twitter and Facebook as well!
  4. I started my career initially as a teacher, but freelance writing is equally satisfying as it helps me unleash my creativity and at the same time, I can devote more time to my family and kids.
  5. I have a loving, understanding husband, and two pretty, adorable daughters who are proud of their writing mom! Not to forget my pet dog, who is great company for everyone.
  6. I love to cook and try out various dishes, something my kids relish! My hobbies include sketching and painting, while I am more aesthetically inclined and appreciate pictures, photographs, quotes, or anything beautiful that touches my heart!
  7. I cherish the moments spent with my family and remain thankful to the Almighty for their love, health, and happiness.

I do hope all the above mentioned blogs choose to accept the Versatile Blogger Award. It would be nice if you visit these blogs, as each one is different in its own way, some are helpful, some informative, some beautiful, some creative, and some with stories to share with everyone. It was a tough decision to pick out just 15 blogs from the numerous I like, but it was fun all the same!

I want to thank all of you who have helped and inspired me to become a better blogger. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated!

Thanks for stopping by to read!

    1. Hi Meetu,

      Thanks so much for your kind wishes, and yes, I am trying to make it a versatile blogazine, though it all does take it’s own time.

      Thanks for stopping by and for your kind wishes 🙂

  1. Congrats so much!

    You are an amazing at network and even wonderful person and it shows! It is always wonderful to be recognized for your blogging efforts and always so wonderfully! I loved learning more about you. I did know you have a freelance blog but have never visited it; I will drop by soon! 🙂

    You have two daughters! Adorable – aren’t daughters just the best life could offer! 😉

    Some of the blogs you have mentioned are familiar but most are not! Will make sure I check them out some time! 🙂

    Congrats once again Harleen!

    1. Thanks for the warm and kind words Hajra!

      I am indeed humbled and honored to be given this award, something that I never really expected. But yes, its nice to know that people recognize and appreciate your work. And such awards are a nice way to make new connections and also share some new things about yourself with your readers.

      The freelance writing blog has just been shifted to WordPress, so it’s in transition yet. I worked on this blog and got it rolling, which took me time as WordPress is not that easy, especially when are new to the themes and so many other things! But it would soon be ready.

      Daughters are adorable indeed and the best thing that could have happened to me. I think I am able to see myself through them, and they bring out the best (and worst!) in me. 🙂

      Take your time to check out the other bloggers whenever you do find the time, am sure you would like connecting up- as you too are an amazing net-worker!

      Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂
