Today’s post is in support of a fellow blogger. She blogs at Life on Peanut Layne and she recently wrote a very brave and honest piece explaining her recent and continuing absence from blogging. She’s struggled for a very long time and has just, finally, been diagnosed with a very rare Autoimmune disorder. In her absence, many of us who’ve been lucky enough to have been amused by her for so long are going to try to keep her blog from sitting idle. So in the spirit of "putting my money where my mouth is" (yum), I’m up first. Click on this link: Life on Peanut Layne and come see what this picture is all about:
Many more guest posts by a diverse group of talented writers are coming up, so visit her often and catch them all.
Get well quick, Peanut Layne. And in the meantime, we’ve got your back.
Thanks so much for doing this....

I agree, Irish. Sometimes it's just a matter of doing something small, but it makes a difference.

Thanks. She'll be back, hopefully, once she starts feeling better.
Deletedo you still need help? i'm a new blogger, but check out speakeasymama.com i'd be happy to help at all if i can. ~lindsey
ReplyDeleteIf you want to write something up that would appeal to her readers, please do and email it to me. I send them on to her in the order I get them.
DeleteI a going there now.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Becca!
DeleteI'd love to help out, Karen! I just read about Behcet's and it sounds awful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chrissy. If you want to help, write a piece that you think might be a good fit for her blog and email it to me. I'm keeping them in a file and, as she's ready for one, sending them in the order that I get them.
DeleteYes, Behcet's sounds horrendous. I don't know how she's functioned so long without the correct treatment, but I'm so glad she's finally on the right path.
I just went over and read your post and hers about the disease. I think I can't believe it! Poor Peanut Lane! I hope she feels better soon! And you...! You are just .... a wonderful friend! I'm so glad I've had the chance to meet you even through the net! I wish I could help, too. But I can't write stories, you've read my posts! I just don't think I have the 'fluency' (language barrier!) for something like that! How about I send you something sort of funny (that's not mine)?
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your kind words, Vicky. Unfortunately I can't take something that's not yours, but you write beautifully about your kids and I'd love a story about them if you can think of one to tell.
DeleteKaren, I just visited your post. It's fantastic and your concern and care for your friends is so evident. I can't thank you enough for "sending" me to peanut lane. I've never shared in my space my own struggle w autoimmune disorders - hashimoto's diease, atrophic gastritis and most recently - rheumatoid arthritis. My endo is set to test me for Lupus after struggle w chronic soars in my mouth and nose for the past few months..thanks to your friends honesty and insight I think I should explore Behcet's as well. Wishing you all the best! M
ReplyDeleteMonica, thank you for sharing what's going on with you. I'm sending you an email.
DeleteYou are my hero, girl. I love that you thought up this project. It was my pleasure to get to participate. Peanut Layne has always been so fun to read. It will be interesting to see what others come up with. You're a good egg :)
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you for participating, given what you're dealing with yourself. I have some great submissions, you'll enjoy them all, I'm sure.
