When Life Hands You Lemons

sisterhoodbadgeThe Sister Project is a blog network or family of related blogs: sister blogs, you might say. The 4 founding TSP “sisters,” all writers by profession, explore the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood, from twins or older-younger, to sister to a brother, to sister-in-law, or in-friendship, or in-feminism. Whatever “sister” means to you, they’re interested.

Blogging together as The Sister Project has made them as close as sisters, they realize, and they suspect that no group of bloggers is closer-knit or a bigger digital sisterhood than those known as mom-bloggers. So here’s the challenge:

In words (not to exceed 500), or words and images, describe your own digital sisterhood with other mom bloggers by filling in this blank and entering the official entry form page on Type-A Mom:

You know you’re a sister when…women you’ve never met in real life come together for one small act of kind to brighten your day.

..you can always count on your friends, the MomDot Girls!

Late last week we received a voicemail from the Enchanted Florist letting us know we needed to schedule a delivery. Huh? What? Flowers? Nobody around here gets flowers, especially me. I didn’t even bother to ask my husband if they were from him, I know better. The funny part is he jumped to the conclusion that I had a secret admirer and was ready to kick some butt. He was right!

All of my friends at MomDot, a community for mom/women bloggers, came together and sent me a beautiful bouquet of yellow flowers with a lemon filled vase and a special message. Today, they were delivered.

I really can’t begin to describe how much the outpouring of support I’ve received these past weeks has meant to me. Just a week ago I was ready to close my blog and leave my online life behind for forever. It wasn’t long before these women started pulling me back in. I’m glad they did! Friendships online may not always seem genuine but I can tell you this, some REALLY ARE! I wouldn’t trade these women for a dozen “in real life” friends. I love you girls! Thank You!!!!
