Hello and welcome. I imagine a lot of you here today are new and most likely will never come back here again. That’s okay. I get it. There are now so many of us – women bloggers – that it’s tough to add one more feed to your bulging reader. (Believe me, I know! So many bright and shiny things on the Net. What to read first?)
So I want to do something a bit different for the blog party this year.
Instead of bookmarking this blog, please follow the below links, just for a quick click. Add one, two, (or all!) to your bookmarks, StumbleUpon page, Delicious collection, or whatever it is you use to keep track of stuff you want to read later. Then when all the craziness of the party is over, when you have a quiet moment, go back to those sites. Please. All are deserving your time and attention.
These all represent issues people close to my heart. I hope they burn into your conscience too:
Be strong and courageous,
Monica
What a nice idea for your party! I still need to figure out stumbling!

Amydeannes last blog post..Party time people!
Awesome idea for your post, and great causes/organizations. You’re right, this leaves an impact that lasts way beyond the party. Keep up the great work.
This was different, but it was also refreshing to see promotion of something other than self. Great sites!

I just stopped by, blog hopping as part of UBP 2009. It is very nice to meet you. I have a blog at http://www.superfunmama.blogspot.com; It’s a toddler learning blog. I’d love to have you for a visit! I am loving UBP! Have a magical day. I have a goal of trying to visit 150 blogs per day, whew! Let’s hope the little one takes long naps for the next few days.
First blog on the party Ive come across directing attention to causes, I’m impressed.

Okay, Mon, so you KNOW I love what you’ve done for a party post; you kind of had what I had in mind, but even MORE giving to others (not that I’m so “giving”, just that CI is on the forefront of my mind.
Love your heart, love the way you share truth…you’re special, ya know?

Love yourHope you will stop by my blog for a visit. I am new to blogging and I am loving all my new friends.
I am giving away my first EVER BLOG PRIZE.
From the comments I have already received, it appears to be something a little different and something anyone could use.
I have been so touched by the comments that I have decided to give 2 boxes . They will be the $100 deluxe size. I really do want to bless people!!! I have decided that giving is life at its BEST. The drawing will be today at 6…so you have a few more hours. This has been so much fun.
