Hi everyone! I hope your weekend was great! Tracy from A Joyful Process nominated me for the Room 101 Award back in February! I know it’s almost been two months, but here it is! Thank you for nominating me, Tracy! Here are the rules and nominees below:

  1. Thank the blogger that nominated you. (Of course. Done. See above.)
  2. Award five bloggers that fascinate, intrigue or tickle your curiosity with the Room 101 award badge logo on their about pages and linking to them in your post. (Hmm, I’m not really sure about this).
  3. Tell us the five things that you would banish to Room 101!
  4. Attach these rules to your post. (Done.)
  5. Grab your badge above and enjoy adding it to your trophy case, but please be respectful of the creator of the award by never altering the logo and never changing the rules.

I would like to banish the following five items/people:

  1. Racism-I can’t stand it when people are judged and ridiculed based on the way they look. People should get to know someone before judging them on their appearance alone.
  2. Onions- I despise the smell and taste of them. I would banish raw and cooked onions in my world.
  3. Donald Trump-Just the sight and sound of him sickens me. I can’t believe some of the things that come out of his mouth! If he becomes our next president, I would seriously consider leaving the U.S.
  4.  Diabetes- Several of my family members are afflicted with Type 2 Diabetes. Some of my family members have lost their sight, limbs, teeth and life because of Diabetes.
  5. Poverty- Living in poverty is rough. I’ve been in that position in the past and it isn’t fun. Nobody should have to live in fear of whether or not they can feed themselves and their family the next day, whether they have enough money to pay the electric bill, whether they’ll be evicted within the next week, etc.

I nominate the following five bloggers to participate:

Erika Kind

Ritu from But I Smile Anyway

My Spanglish Familia

My WP son, Antonio from Oy30 Blog

David from Chape Blog

Hello everyone! My name is Lisa Amaya. I'm a 30 some year old mom to one son. My blog is about my life, entertainment, current events, people and events in my hometown, El Paso, Texas, etc. My blog will also feature pieces about Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and surrounding areas in New Mexico. I also hope to include more travel blog posts. Guest bloggers will also contribute from time to time! I've been a writer since I was 6 years old. I graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in journalism. I've written for various newspapers and magazines. I plan on focusing more of my time on blogging and freelance writing. I took a five-year break from writing but I'm back at it! Thank you for stopping by and welcome!

  24. Thank you for accepting the award, Erika! 😊 I’m not feeling too well right now. I think I’m running a fever. My head still hurts. I hope the medicine kicks in pretty soon. I’m sure you’re busy! Feel free to do the award post when you have time. It almost took me two months to do it. Lol.

  29. My son loves onions and garlic. I make the best french onion soup! The diabetes I agree with. The poverty also can go. We live in a world that has more than enough for everyone yet so many suffer.

  31. I don’t. But I do like fried onions on some things, like cheeseburger subs. I won’t eat onions on pizza though.
