When I first started noticing blogs I saw it as an interesting way to express oneself. Not necessarily to anyone in particular either. A lot of blogs I came across were for the purpose of self-expression, or a way to ventilate one’s opinions on a particular topic or two that’s crossed their mind.

I started this blog as a way to put down my feelings about taking on the next milestone in life. What was a journal and hobby has become a true joy an treasure. But what’s better… I’ve met some of the most amazing people though blogging which I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to come across otherwise.

I’m a journalist. And one of the things I pride myself in is doing stories that help and inspire people. Stories that move people to action. It’s not me, but the people I meet and interview… The people in my stories that bring about the greater good in the world.

Just recently I’ve started to realize that same movement is visible… If not more so in the blogging realm. Never have I crossed paths with so many inspiration people trying to do good in such a short time span.

One example of this is with Danielle, the woman who re-designed my blog. She’s offering her design services for free to a lucky donor who gives toward helping starving children in China.

You see… Due to limited resources, many government orphanages in China can’t afford to purchase formula powder. Instead, babies are given substitutes like sugar water or rice powder to ease their hunger pains. As many of you mothers know, these substitutes do not provide the nutrition a child needs, and the result is malnourishment, sickness, and underdevelopment.
