a tale of two communities...!!!!

Living in a country town 

is quite different to living in a large city

there are the obvious difference

like the lack of traffic 

fewer choices

(if you actually want them)

more choices

(when it comes to fresh food)

and so the list could go on

but this is not about those sort of differences 

it is about the community (as in the people) difference

Here we know nearly everyone

some by sight,

some by name,

some by business,

some by friendship,

some by love.

In the big Cities if you know your neighbours

you are probably doing quite well!!

But

The point is that because we know every one,

when good luck strikes we know about it

when bad luck strikes we know about it

when things are hard for them we know about it

It makes us a tight community

and in the hard times 

we all come out to help

The Blog community is like living in a country town

you get to know everyone

some by sight,

(on others blogs)

some by name

(from their comments)

some by business

(their Etsy stores)

some by friendship

some by love

we know your up and your downs

 your joys and your hard times

in sickness and in health

your troubles and your families troubles

So

today I visited

Simone at

honey and fizz 

and learned about

Jane from

my pear tree house.

most of you are already pouring out your love to A-M

and I have another friend

who is suffering

so wouldn't it be nice and in true Christmas spirit if

we all follow Simone's advice

"What if each night you look at the moon for, say, 15 seconds and send positive thoughts to Jane and to others who you know are going through harsh times?...

•What if you post this concept on your blog or speak to your friends?...

•What if your followers blog this concept and speak to their friends?...

•What if hundreds of women look at the moon each night and send off their thoughts?

•What if women needing support received these hundreds of thoughts?...

You see, we all have the same moon, don't we?..
Girl power.
Can we do it? 15 seconds a day? Pay it forward?
I say we can. It can only help. It can connect us all. It can be global..
So what do you say?...
Start blogging the concept girls or make a pact with your friends"

and fellas you can do it too

 we don't absolutely need to restrict this to the ladies

and to my dear, dear friend

if you are reading this, know that all my love and prayers

go to you both and I am sending power via the moon

and to all a

goodnight
