delurking day!
Today is National De-lurking Day. A day when you’re supposed to come out of the woodwork at your daily blog reads and leave some comment love! (I am a notorious blog lurker. Bad commenter, BAD!)
Yesterday, we all undoubtedly spent time slack-jawed in front of the computer or television, watching the horrific aftermath of the Haiti earthquake. (Related: if anyone in the Burgh can help out these amazing women and the kids at their orphanage, PLEASE DO. The babies need to get home.) I often find myself at a loss with what to do during catastrophic events. I’m just a mom, a wife, living my life here, thousands of miles away, how on earth can I even HELP?
I can donate money. But… how much? No amount seems enough. $20? $100? $200?
So, this year for De-lurking Day, I’m going to do something a little different. YOU, my dear readers, will determine how much I will donate. I’m taking a tip from AndreAnna and I pledge to give $1 for every de-lurking comment I receive on this post to the Red Cross (with a minimum of $25, in case nobody plays along. heh)
So! Leave me a note saying hello! Or telling me what you had for breakfast. Or whatever. Just comment, baby.

Sounds like a great reason to “de-lurk” to me! Thank you for doing this. Oh, and hello! I had coffee for breakfast. ;-)
What a great cause!

The whole Haiti situation breaks my heart…I too have wondered how much is enough? Those poor people – makes me so grateful for my own life!

Always glad to see that you’re putting the blog to good use to help others. I’m an avid reader and seldom commentor… so Hi! And thank you for taking the time and resources to help others in this terrible time.

Of course I’ll comment. I wasn’t sure at first, since I’m not a lurker on your site any longer, but I’ll definitely comment.
How wonderful to see so many people doing so much for this cause! I’m glad to see all the commenters here, even knowing that it is such a small thing for everyone to do ; every bit, in every way, helps. Thank YOU for doing this. I certainly hope the kids down there are getting SOME kind of clean water & food, and then any other supplies they need, and that they can hold on to those supplies until they can be evacuated.
Thanks again for your contributions. You are a great person.
You are doing a great thing!
A referral from Kim Z’s site. Thanks for all you are doing. As a Red Cross volunteer, I know they appreciate your support and efforts on their behalf.
What a GREAT idea!!! Thanks for giving back!!
