It’s odd the connections we make on the Blogosphere. Cary of Cancer NewsWatch pinged us while we were guest blogging for Darren. As often happens we became blog buddies. His wife Lori has cancer. She also has a blog—Too sexy for my hair- a young woman’s cancer blog. Please read her story.
Does this post sound a bit strange to you on a business blog? We talk about building community online. We talk about building relationships through blogs. This isn’t your typical BusinessBlogConsulting post. This isn’t about business at all. It’s about being human, it’s about doing what we can as people who when others need our help.
Lori and Cary are going through some especially hard times right now. They need the support of their online friends.
What can we do? We can do a lot. We can show what “community”
really means. Online or offline. We can subscribe to Lori’s and Cary’s
blogs. We can read them. We can click ad links. We can lend
expertise. We can support them.
We may not be able to bring them brownies, or a lasagna, but as
virtual neighbors we can stop by for a visit and leave a supportive
comment. By the way, Cary and Lori did not ask us to write this post.
We just felt it was the right thing to do.
Remember the line, oft used in superhero movies, "with great power
comes great responsibility"? This is our way of trying to help.
