Do you Think I Post too much about Band Back Together?

I don't. Truly, out of all the blogs I follow, they are the best in terms of amazing internet support.

Currently, they are hosting an auction to raise funds to apply for federal non-profit status. I'm checking out the amazing swag as we speak. Please, donate, bid, contribute, and/or support.

You won't be sorry. In their words, all are welcome.

Join the Band

According to The Twitter and other various blogs I follow, today is the one year anniversary of the launching of Band Back Together, an amazing group blog created by Aunt Becky of Mommy Wants Vodka.

This deserves recognition, and I’d like to give my own little plug for The Band, because no one deserves it more than them.

If you are hurting… Join the Band. If you want to share your story, no matter how mundane you think it is… Join the Band. If you want to connect with amazing, supportive people… Join the Band. If you need support or want to give it… Join the Band.

Out of all the Internet communities I’ve discovered, The Band is the best one. They love and support unconditionally, even to someone like me who is nowhere near as hurting as a lot of their contributors. The stories make me want to cry. I’m a huge fan of sites like Postsecret, where you can share yourself (please, no sexual puns) anonymously. Sites like these are freeing, and when run right, allow people the release they sometimes need (again, no sexual pun intended). The Band takes that a step further. Not only can you share your story, anonymously if you want to, but The Band will give you all the help you want, along with plenty of resources to get you through whatever it is you’re going through.

I strongly encourage you to check them out. You won’t be sorry.

And Happy Birthday, Band! Sending you love and sugary cupcakes.
