Calling All Sisters


There's something special about the way women support each other when they hear of someone struggling.
A new baby, an illness, a death in the family... the meals and baking and offers of help roll in.
Not always, of course.
Often we struggle alone, feeling forgotten, overlooked.
But if a sister hears of our plight, she will usually try to help.


That's what Sophie over at SophieSlim has been doing... trying to help.
She's formed a Sisterhood of women who have sent love to complete strangers; women who have been struggling alone until a sister heard of their plight and nominated them for a Love Bomb.


The first wave of Love Bombs hit women all over the country, accompanied by this note...

Now Sophie's at it again, moved by emails about the plight of sisters around the country.
I emailed her with a couple of nominations of my own.

And then I thought, Hey, contributing to the Love bomb myself is not enough. I need to put it out there to my Blog Sisters if we're going to help all these women.

So my sisters, would you help The Sisterhood help some struggling sisters?
Would you to join us in Love Bombing our as-yet-unknown sisters?
Let them know they are not alone in their struggles, not forgotten?
(Whether its parenting alone, nursing a terminally ill child, recovering from multiple miscarriages, a burned down house or the death of a child....)
