Around the (blog) world

When I first started this blog when I was pregnant, I thought I would use it just to let family know how Taryn was doing and post pictures of how she was changing. After she was born, it quickly became a way for me to deal with being overwhelmed by this wonderful little girl. We both learned and along the way I found some people who felt exactly the same why I did. It helped to know they are there. Yesterday, I found this. Whymommy has cancer. Canape has made a team help support her. Whymommy is looking for support, not pity. She is going to kick this cancer right in the ass, and I'm going to offer support to her in any way I can, even though I don't know her.

At first, I didn't know if I should join. I felt like I was intruding on something meant for people who really knew Whymommy. But if she was asking for support, why would I even consider not helping? Its hard to try to give support to something I've never experienced. But then I thought back to when I was overwhelmed by my daughter and all the support I found just in knowing someone out there had answered my question and told me I would make it. If these nameless people could do that for me, why couldn't I do that for someone else? These blogs are weird litte therapy groups without the cost, and I'll support her in any way I can.

I see this team as a group standing in a circle around her, holding on and providing whatever support we can. We'll send ass kicking thoughts her way, laugh, smile, and take a moment to pray for her and her family. So, if you have time or want to join in, visit Toddler Planet, and help her beat her cancer.

There is a button that I'll hopefully figure out how to post some time soon and if not, there is also a link to her site on the side bar.
