What a wonderful post Mandi! I’m a new reader too but your thoughts echo mine — I’ve made real friends via my blog that I never would have met otherwise.

I’ll keep the Hales in my thoughts and prayers.

This post is what is truly impressive about the blog world. I may not have the time to answer the phone, or take a shower some days 😉 but reading an email … a permanent message from someone that is positive and thoughtful is better than anything else sometimes. Way to pay it forward!

Hello, I think you are the coolest– I check out the blog and leave skipping and singing. I’ve entered the crafting with the stars contest, just in the hopes of meeting you– You’re kind of a big deal… Thanks for sharing your coolness right on my computer.

Mandi – Have you heard of Bloggers without Borders? This might be a story to submit to them. (I’m not a part of this group, but I’ve seen some of their campagnes to raise money for people.) https://www.bloggerswoborders.org/

If I didn't live all the way in Seattle I would insist on those chips and salsa, who cares about a messy house!! With all of us there, it would A. Only take a fraction of the time to clean, and B. Just get messy again!!! lol
Thanks so much for posting this story about the Hales. My thoughts and prayers go out to them. I will definitely be sharing their story with others I know.
Keep up the fantastic work, love your blog!!!

Oh my goodness I am sitting here bawling as Im reading this. This poor family was in my ward here in Las Vegas. It was before we moved here so I dont know them personally but everyone in our ward is heartbroken about what has happened to Rob. So great of you to spread the word and try to help this family.

Hi, I am so sorry about your friends. I will say a prayer for them. I found you through Janell’s blog to let you know that I love your chair. I also would love to have chips and salsa and be friends. Come by my blog.
