I am a huge fan of ONE and I am in LOVE with (RED) and I have recently joined the fight to save public broadcasting. I think the internet is inc(red)ible for many, many reasons, but the ability to join folks across the world to fight aids, hunger, poverty and injustice just blows my mind...
For me, it started with feeding people while expanding my vocabulary over at www.FreeRice.com. Then I moved to Nashville and a friend introduced me to his new online community - www.coolpeoplecare.org. That was the end. I was sold on the connection and impact that the internet brings. I love my friends and work hard for my community IRL too, but the world gets more connected everyday. I am in awe. I love being able to do for others with a click and having the opportunity to use my voice to be supportive of people I never would have known. For instance, Star Wars Katie!
So when I start to feel like no one understands, I can look to the awesome Mom Blog world for support! And when I feel like I don't matter, I remember my purpose is connected to everyone on Earth via this cute little laptop!
How are you making a difference and connecting to the world via the web?
