You are not alone.
Now matter what stage you are at in life, or where you are headed? You are not alone.
This is the message that continuously comes back to me when reading the many, many wonderful bloggers out there. No matter what your situation? Odds are someone who has a blog has experienced or is now experiencing that same thing. We are all connected in some way.
I recently participated in a slideshow for WhyMommy. She’s got an amazing group of people who’ve been cheering her on in her fight with breast cancer. Some of the people in the slideshow are friends from high school, friends from her MOMs group, bloggers and even relatives of hers. If you are interested in viewing the slideshow, go for it. If you are interested in knowing the bloggers who participated, keep scrolling. (For some reason this blog design doesn’t really show when I link someone. So now I bold those words, just so you know.)

There were even people who really wanted to participate but couldn’t as peeps unfortunately had been given a very short window of time. Amie and Sanne from the Netherlands support and adore Whymommy too!
And thanks to Marty (aka Canape) who was, at one point, a day away from having her baby and still good natured enough to answer the barrage of e-mails I sent her.

I think you could start a business making these great slideshows!!
Sorry I couldn’t participate. I stalk WhyMommy so much, I have a feeling she knows I care–or will be getting a restraining order soon.

The blogosphere is truly amazing in how it allows people to come together in times of need. I am stalking WhyMommy a bit myself, and I wish her all the best from my anon place…she has the *best* cheerleaders in her fight to beat the nastiness…
