The lovely Jumbleberry Jam over at Rainblissed (one of my favorite blogs to read!) just gave Serenity in the Storm a shout-out as one of her favorite new “Versatile Blogs“. Thanks Jumbleberry; you’re awesome!! She was not sure how precisely this honorary title got started, but the rules are as follows:
• Thank the person who gave you the award & link back to them in your post.
• Share 7 things about yourself
• Pass this award along to 10 recently discovered blogs.
Seven things about me:
1. I want to start a sanctuary for previously farmed animals so they can live out their days free from harm and free from forced productivity.
2. Before I got going on the animal advocacy/ PhD track, I was on the path to being a fiction writer.
3. I’m generally a messy person and when I do tidy up the house, I tend to just make many stacks of stuff, so it looks tidier but I haven’t actually gotten rid of anything (notorious for boxing up unopened junk mail and stuffing it in the back of the closet-Yikes!).
4. I’m definitely a morning person. I love to get up and have a cup of tea, a delicious breakfast, a green juice, and catch up on computer stuff. After breakfast, the day is filled with declining productivity until I pass out exhausted anywhere from 8pm – 11 pm.
5. Our house is full of animals who wandered into our lives: 2 human animals (Eric and Katie), one dog (Maizy), two cats (Abigail and Eden), four zebra finches (unnamed by humans), 3 chickens (Charlotte (Bronte), George (Eliot), Jane (Austen)).
6. My favorite novels are probably Anna Karenina, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Parable of the Sower/Talents, though it’s been so long since I’ve read a novel that this might not be completely reliable.
7. I complain sometimes about school and academic work, but at heart I love it so very much and I feel incredibly lucky to be studying and working on exactly what I’m passionate about! Thanks, universe (and Eric)!!
Since I’m quite new to the blogging scene (I’ve had a blog previously, but was not really tapped into this whole world into very recently), my top ten are new to me, but seem to be quite established blogs. In no particular order:
4. Chic Vegan
5. Choosing Raw
6. Vegan Score
7. Maoquai
Okay, done! Thanks again, Ms. Jumbleberry Jam. Happy weekend everyone!

I must get to Parable of the Talents while I’m still traumatized by Parable of the Sower 😉 You’ve got to read Kindred…it’s so spectacularly awesome!
