Mabel’s Labels BlogHer ‘10 Contest

Here is the challenge: Write a post on your blog in response to the following hypothetical situation: Electrical storms are going to wipe out the Internet (perhaps forever). You have one day left to write about your passions: what do you want to say to the blogosphere in 300 words or less?  This is my entry for the Mabel’s Labels contest.

Here is my response:

Oh.my.word.  What will I do without my internet connection?  The very connection that has provided me with friendships, support and opportunities (not to mention entertainment) could be gone forever. One day I can handle (I probably need a one day break) but one week, one month, one year, FOREVER?  Yikes.

The thought of living without my internet connection is consuming my thoughts.  My stomach is in knots, my head actually hurts- I may very well have an anxiety attack.  Whoa!

Wait a minute…did I actually just say that?  think that?  Have blogging, facebook, twitter and email really become that important to me?  To be quite honest- yes.

It has been said that we are spiritual beings on a human journey.  I believe that.  I also believe that we are made for connection.  I am fortunate enough to live in a time where the ability to connect with like minded women that I may never have otherwise come in contact with lies at my fingertips.  I don’t want to lose that.  I am passionate about…

my internet connection. My online community. My blog.

So now I need y’all to excuse me while I raise some holy heck (like only we “mommy bloggers” can) to see what the powers that be are doing about this pending emergency.
