<My Response to Kayleigh Fraser's September Get-To-Know-Me Challenge> BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! 😁
Unashamed by Tiffany Gordon
I am unashamed to say:
I love the Creator
I love the Creator
I love the Creator
I love the Creator
I love the Creator
As my poem above illustrates, my Faith is a huge part of who I am. Many of you already knew that, but below is a list of things that you probably don't know about me.
10 Things You Don't Know About Me...
{Inspired by Kayleigh Fraser's Get-To-Know-Me Challenge}
**Shown right here:
1) "I love hard." Bobbi Christina once used this phrase to describe her grief right after losing her mother, the famous singer Whitney Houston, and it described me and my love for others to a T.💜
2) I have a birthmark that looks like the Continent of Africa on my forearm.💜
3) I once starred as Ola Ray (Michael Jackson's girlfriend from the Thriller video) in a 4th grade production of the song. I remember having to have a dance off for the role in front of the entire class. LOL, man, I was fearless back then! I also distinctly remember one of the girls who played a Goul in the production being upset with me because her boyfriend was playing Michael Jackson. Man, I had so many fun times in the 80s.💜😁
4) I was once teased/bullied for being "too quiet" & "too pristine" in high school. Thank God, I ALWAYS stood in my truth.💜
5) Cooking is tedious to me. I do okay, but it feels like what I imagine picking cotton would have been like. I want the meal to be done right away. LOL 😂 Although baking is fun for me. I usually have patience for people, but not much in the kitchen! lol💜
6) I enjoy drawing portraits and painting them with nail polish.💜
7) I enjoy creating dioramas for my dolls.
8) Kickball is my favorite sport! Man, I miss those days.💜
9) I am a picky eater. My bff used to call me Picky Petunia because of it! 💜😊
10) I love Red Bull. My favorite flavor is the new Pear-Cinnamon flavor that was just released for the holidays! 💜

Emily's blushing moment: A tale of courage and poetry..
Thethe heart of a bustling city, amidst the whirlwind of daily life, there lived a young woman named Emily. She was known for her gentle demeanor and her tendency to blush at the drop of a hat. Emily's rosy cheeks had earned her the endearing nickname "Blushing Rose" among her friends and coworkers.Despite her penchant for blushing, Emily was a confident and capable young woman, excelling in her career as a graphic designer. However, there was one aspect of her life that always left her feeling self-conscious: public speaking.Emily had always harbored a fear of speaking in front of large crowds. The mere thought of all those eyes staring at her made her cheeks flush with embarrassment. Yet, deep down, she longed to overcome her fear and prove to herself that she was capable of facing any challenge.One day, Emily stumbled upon a flyer for a local public speaking competition called "Just a Minute." The premise was simple: contestants had just one minute to deliver a compelling speech on any topic of their choice. It seemed like the perfect opportunity for Emily to conquer her fear and showcase her hidden talents.With a mixture of excitement and apprehension, Emily decided to sign up for the competition. She spent weeks meticulously crafting her speech, pouring her heart and soul into every word. Despite her nerves, she was determined to give it her all.As the day of the competition approached, Emily's anxiety threatened to overwhelm her. But with the support of her friends and family, she summoned the courage to step onto the stage and face her fears head-on.Standing in front of the eager audience, Emily took a deep breath and began to speak. Her voice quivered slightly at first, but as she delved into her speech, her confidence grew. She spoke passionately about her love for art and design, weaving personal anecdotes and inspiring quotes into her narrative.With each passing second, Emily felt her fear melting away, replaced by a sense of exhilaration and empowerment. She poured her heart into her words, her cheeks flushed with excitement rather than embarrassment.Before she knew it, her minute was up, but Emily wasn't ready to stop. She had found her voice, and she wanted to share it with the world. Ignoring the timer, she continued to speak, her passion igniting a spark in the hearts of everyone in the room.When she finally finished, the audience erupted into applause, their cheers echoing through the auditorium. Tears of joy welled up in Emily's eyes as she realized she had not only conquered her fear but had also touched the hearts of those around her.From that day forward, Emily's blush became a badge of honor, a symbol of her courage and resilience. She went on to pursue her dreams with newfound confidence, never again letting her fear hold her back.And as she stood on the stage, basking in the adoration of the crowd, Emily knew that she had truly found her voice, one minute at a time.

Oh, Tiffany....I loved getting to know you! First of all, I want to make sure you have been fed and aren't hungry...lol Then, I want to make dioramas with you! That sounds like so much fun! And then maybe we could paint a few pictures with nail polish. I've never done that, but yes! But I saved the best for last: let's Praise the Lord together and worship Him.
So interesting and fun Ms Tiffany! 😉💕😊. And I knew you would be❤️💜💖
I'd love to see the portraits with nail polish. Also the 1980s were the best. Just didn't realize it then. Great job my friend ❤️
I would have paid money to see that 4th grade production of the Thriller Video! I love that video - just showed it to my kid this year! I bet that was fun to be a part of and super cute to watch! <3
Really enjoyed getting to know you better… #3 was amusing. I too, love The Creator… #4: well done for standing firm in God’s truth.
Hahah fun @ you and your cooking. I’m getting better at it! We don’t have that flavour red bull yet.. sounds alright actually. Congrats on your top story and leaderboard recognition too!!! 😊👏👏🎉🎉
Those are some interesting tidbits Tiffany! What a lovely dimension they add to your known characteristics. I may try this prompt after some sleep. Congratulations on achieving another Top Story!
I loved learning more about you!! Your kindness and positivity always shine through. Thank you for sharing more about the amazing you!!
This was fantastic Tiffany! Glad to get to know you better and I love the redbull pear, so I'll have to try the cinnamon version.
Exceptionally amusing!
This is just wonderfully you and you. Always love how you just are authentically Tiffany! None of the things surprised me at all really, but they were definitely interesting. Comparing cooking to picking cotton, made me laugh a bit too much and the birthmark thing is really cool! Picky Petunia! And yeah, the nail polish thing...bit odd and curious...but totally a you type thing. Also, Red Bull is disgusting (you know I don't like it, probably, as I wrote a poem a few months ago about it lol!) each to their own and congrats on a very lovely Top Story, I smiled from the start all the way through to the end and had a good few laughs! Stay you, always!
Painting with nail polish! That was super interesting! Love your pride in who you are. There's power in that, Tiffany. Also, Red Bull in different flavours? Who knew? Congrats on TS and thanks for sharing.
Kickball games were the best! Thanks for sharing. It was fun getting to know you more and yes! Better late than never. Congratulations! 🎉 🩵🩵🩵
That was a lot of fun. Glad to know more about you. Congratulations on Top Story!
This was great, I feel like now know one more really cool person.
Thanks for sharing some fun facts about you! Congratulations!
Hey! It was great getting to know more about you. Congrats on the Top Story! And God bless 😁😁😁🍁👍💯.
Congrats on the TS.
Congratulations on your well deserved Top Story! I loved reading more facts about you. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Yay, Congratulations 💯💖🎉Top Story🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations on top stort
Picky eater yet you enjoy Red bull. You are complex. This was great to have an insight into who you are. Thank you for sharing
This was a fun read. We have much in common. I love the creator too, and I’ve devoted my life to letting Him create through me in more ways than one. To paraphrase Oprah, I live on my knees. I live in a state of submission, prayer, and receiving guidance. I loved the 80’s. I used to paint with nail polish too, but I’ve never heard of anyone else doing it. I like painting with all kinds of unconventional materials in addition to actual paint. Tea, coffee, wine and beet juice have been fun to experiment with. I too love creating dioramas. I would love to see your art work and hope you share it here.
You are a sunny delight, I rather see you as a Sunny D drink. Sooooooo, Red bull is where you get all that peppiness. This is such a delightful story. Done in true Sweetiffany style. Stay sweet and hugs to doll babies. AH, Bobbi and Whitney, making sweet music for the creator, peace and love to all.
Thank you for sharing
