I’ve always been blown away by the relationships built since my work at home journey began back in January 2006. The WAHM community is amazing. The support is unbelievable but even more than that the unselfishness of the WAHM community is heart warming. I’ve seen us pull together to help those in need out (and I’ve been on the receiving end of the WAHM community pulling together to help me out!). I’ve seen us pull together to offer encouragement and just to lift one another up.

I’m awed every Holiday when my bud Kelly over at Wahm Talk Radio rounds up the support of the WAHM community to help fill Christmas business wishes! It’s so fun to be a part of it and watch it all as it unfolds. This year there were some pretty big stockings to stuff and they got stuffed. How cool is that? There are several posts to read at Kelly’s blog about all the stockings that were stuffed so head on over and read all about it.

But what I really wanted to mention in this post is that someone in the WAHM community once again touched my life in a huge blessing sort of way! I am purposely not mentioning her name. Sometimes people just don’t want to have their names mentioned and I didn’t ask her if I could mention her or not so I decided it was best just to leave out her name. I got an email today from her and she wanted to know if I was still interested in a laptop. Oh how I want a laptop so bad. Not only because it will simplify my life and make my business mobile but because ever since my computer was infected with a virus back at the end of August it’s been having some major issues (I’ve been able to work around them but it’s difficult sometimes). And it’s once again been infected with a virus causing some issues once again. The most annoying being that every couple minutes new windows are opening up with advertising and I have to close them down. Sometimes when it does this it causes my puter to freeze and I have to reboot.

Anyways…yeah back to the email (see what I mean about getting off on tangents? LOL)…I emailed her back letting her know I was definitely still interested in one but at the moment I wasn’t in a position to purchase one. I figured that was the end of it. But it wasn’t. A few minutes later a reply comes back telling me she wasn’t interested in selling it to me but giving it to me! Did you get that? G-I-V-I-N-G GIVING. As in FREE.

It brought me to tears and she honestly has NO idea how much of a blessing she is and how much it means to me that she would just willingly pack it up and ship it to me for free. Not expecting anything in return. Just doing it because she wants to. I could muster about one word after that. WOW.

The WAHM community RAWKS!
