Connection Overload

By: Funfetti

My co-worker said something so interesting last week that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.

Sometimes I wish that Facebook or anything like it didn’t exist.

She’s totally right. At her age, Facebook had already infiltrated her high school experience. I can only imagine how freaking dramatic that was. We didn’t have anything like that at all… texting was kind of “the thing” and that was all dramatic enough for me. I still remember when Facebook was new and my college wasn’t even on it. Oh, those were the days.

Operation Layla: An update

Here we are at Monday again. Funny how that happens, isn’t it? I’m working on my other blog post right now, but I wanted to take a pause from that and just write up a small update about Layla. A few weeks ago, we wrote this blog, informing you of Operation Layla, a movement started by a bunch of women (talented bloggers too!) who wanted to help Layla raise money for her upcoming surgery. Since then, over $7,000 has been raised, completely paying for her surgery and even a few other necessities related to the surgery (all remaining money will be going to a charity of her choosing).

Anyway, in case you were wondering how Layla was doing, she just updated her blog with a new post about her surgery. I thought some of you might want to read it. Check it out at Wishful Fulfillment Everyday. And if you have any more questions about her surgery and Operation Layla, please be sure to check out what Layla wrote here.

I’m so glad that everything went well for Layla and she is starting to feel better via her tweets. I am so impressed by how an online community can come together and make things happen for good people who deserve it. And at such a rapid pace too!

It’s really empowering & amazing. I hope on this Monday, you feel a little bit of that too.

Sending you all the best Layla!
