every once and a while i remember to visit kelle hampton’s blog, enjoying the small things . it’s totally amazing and has touched millions of people – including me.
i spent the better part of a week sobbing randomly after reading the post that made her blog so famous. it’s a jerker for sure (and then some).
after that i was hooked. but to be totally honest, i find that i often think of her blog and don’t go. because seriously she’s like superdupertrooper mom. and often, i just can’t handle taking in that much greatness – it makes me feel less disheveled if i pretend she doesn’t exist…
but truly, that’s just my own bologna – i like to think if we lived near each other and happened to er, be both reaching for the same head of broccoli at whole foods, become instant friends.
which brings me to the point behind the last four paragraphs. i took a spin over to her site yesterday and fell totally emerged in her latest post, the net.
and it hit me like a a pound of bricks (or 13 SS’s) how much i yearn for my own net.
don’t get me wrong, i’ve got those friends out there and they’re beyond fantastic. those who i can unload my life onto. who listen and offer advise and in return unleash their own issues.
(it’s gotta be a two way cry (or bitch) street or else it just doesn’t work.)
but i want that community of these people near me. to have those heart felt connections where you can be real and honest and let it all go.
that’s hard to find. and hard to do.
but i think with the help of a couple glasses of wine, and the right women, it could be tremendous.
it’s not going to happen without a push and without some initiative. this i know.
but i’m beyond ready and willing. as you may have noticed i’m up for a few challenges these days…
so who’s in? who wants to re-create the circle that kelle did. who wants to each get her turn to unload and unleash and loose it – in the company of others doing the same. sound scary? nah.
yes, sounds like most men’s worst nightmare come true, i concur. which is why we need this.
so, sorry to exclude anyone..but in order to gain special access you must have a. a vagina and b. breasts. easy enough.
*okay,okay, if you have a penis and you’re reading this and you really want to join, you can let me know, too.
but seriously…i’m going to work on this. and if you know me and you live near me and you want in, please let me know. and wait, this is the point. duh. if you DON’T know me and you want in please let me know – cause i want to know you.
as jackson would say, “good deal?”. yes, good deal indeed.

i don’t live near you, but i have a vagina and boobs, and i want in. pesky distance. i’m feeling so very lonely lately here on the west coast without a web of support NEAR me, though i feel it from the far reaches of the country, for sure. i’m inspired to create my own here, and have been making some connections… i think it takes time. thank you for posting this.
