, Maria Sangiolo:
Collective Strength
One of the wonders of the internet is how people who would otherwise be complete strangers can connect with one another. The reality of this slammed me in the face again earlier in the week when I learned that one of the bloggers that I really enjoy, whymommy, has been diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer.
I don’t know her personally, but I am shocked nonetheless. Although this intelligent, funny lady is a stranger to me, I am thinking of her often and wish to offer my support in any way I can. That is why I am writing this post.
I debated as to whether I should write this, since her cancer is her private business. However she is blogging daily about her feelings, and wants “positive comments and wishes of strength” to help her “stay focused and positive.”
That is why I write. If you feel so inclined, please stop by Toddler Planet and offer your words of encouragement and support. No sympathy or pity please.
She would also appreciate a prayer from those who pray, or healing light and energy from those of a more “new age” persuasion. Whatever your practices and beliefs, let’s get together and pass along our collective strength to whymommy.

The only thing I fear in my life is breast cancer. I do my check ups every year. I “forget” my dentist, but never my gyneco ! I really appreciate your gesture and of course will go to whymommy, women should keep together and strenghten themselves, it could happen to all of us !
