Virtual Power in Your Real World

The power of human compassion never stops. Give them the tools and they will shine! The NYTimes shares this touching story of how virtual gets personal after a blogger's plane crash.

Meanwhile in virtual Arabia, The Black Iris calls sheer lunacy out at Morocco sentencing blogger Mohammed Erraji with two years in jail for speaking his mind. UPDATE: blogger Erraji released and appealing his sentence.

Khalaf, the remarkable anonymous Jordanian blogger, calls it quits! UPDATE: re-inspired for one more post.

And this community remembers.

Naydyn, don't forget what an incredible support system JO bloggers have been for me on my cancer-journey. :)

Ok, clearly I live under a rock! Kinzi, I had no idea. How fantastic you found that kind of support. We can overcome massive obstacles and seeming challenges with the right fabric of support in our lives - and usually that means good conversation more than anything else. Blogging is the new cure-all :)

@TheLegacyLady - thanks for stopping by. I love the possibilities that come with this territory. What an exciting time to be around!
