People amaze me sometimes

So I havent made an entry in almost FOREVER HAHAHA

The last two weeks I have seen such generosity between a group of people who dont even know each other IRL and seen reactions to that generosity that are so grateful and humble. The thing that really gets to me is that in this group there is so much diversity and differing opinions yet we can all get along and be respectful to one another. In a recent news report this group has been labeled as being bullies or the "mean girls".

I guess if you question the motives and actions of someone else that makes you a bully or mean but isnt the best way to handle questions and such to answer them? No not with snotty little remarks that just dismiss their questions or with deleting those questions but to honestly say yes or no da da da da? It is unfortunate that some people are afraid to answer questions even privately simply to allow the asker to know that they have been heard.

Well this group of 'mean girls' came together because of these questions that went unanswered some even feeling that they were just imagining that there was even a reason to question or that they were WRONG to question. There they found not only others who had the same exact questions but also found that they were not alone in being ignored and dismissed. Many of these women gave of themselves and their wallets to help. With no thank yous even with the continued insinuation of more need they felt used and even more ignored and even while trying to understand that things were tough for the person they wanted to help they became hurt and angry.

Let me tell you this. These women come from all across the US, Canada, and even outside the reaches of North America. They come from all walks of life and all kinds of backgrounds. They have different political views, different religious views, different stages of life, and yet these women have become what I would like to think of as an internet family. We are there to listen when all that is needed is a good angry vent about life. We are there to offer words of support when life hands someone a flaming bag of dog shit. We are concerned for the safety of those who are in dangerous weather situations. We do what we can.

Well in the last two weeks we have gotten to take that to a whole new level. Due to one of those bags of shit we were able to band together for a member in need and allow her to not have to worry about where she was going to sleep for a while as she works to get her feet back underneath her. We have come together for a woman who is literally fighting for her life and even with that as a massive struggle she always has a kind word and never forgets any of us. Several of the ladies have been able to make some calls and had some items that they are willing to give to her to make her life just a little bit better and easier.

These women simply amaze me. And I dont mean to diminish the generosity of those that help out others out there because I do honestly believe that they were able to find in themselves to help out others with the kindness of their hearts. I just find that this group of women who have been labeled and accused of being so horrible and awful prove to the world that they are truly amazing and have hearts of gold not matter what other people thing.

ROCK ON OHIH!!!!! And keep up the random acts of kindness for the beautiful and dearly missed and always loved Olivia Grace,
