Adopt A Classroom
My friend Connie alerted me to this great cause and I wanted to pay it forward, because Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward will pay it forward for every blog post that is written up to $10,000 to Adopt-A-Classroom. If you want to join in, here are the rules:
- Copy and paste these rules into your blog post.
- Create a blog post giving a “virtual bag of school supplies” to other bloggers or write about your Back to School shopping trip at Walmart.
- Link back to the person who gave you a bag of school supplies.
- Let each person you are giving a virtual bag of school supplies know you have given them a bag.
- Leave your link in the Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward comment section. You can also find the official rules of this virtual #bagitforward program there.
- Elmer’s is donating $10 for each blog participating in the Virtual Bag It Forward Donation to Adopt-A-Classroom (up to total of $10,000 for blog posts written by August 12, 2010).
- Please note that only one blog post per blog url will count towards the donation.
So how cool is this? My virtual bag is being sent to: Anne at The Megalomaniac Mommy because I know that she’ll #bagitforward!
Passion
The Mabel’s Labels BlogHer ‘10 Contest asks us to write about what our passion was if the internet was wiped out tomorrow. I think for most people that is a hard question, but if something would happen to me, I think I would want to remembered as one who pays it forward. (I’ll be honest that my first passion is my kids, but that wouldn’t make as interesting as a post.
) Why is that my passion? Even though I am Catholic, I believe in karma. I believe that what goes around comes around. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be the blogger I am today if it wasn’t for those bloggers who went before me. Those bloggers helped me (for free), and I try to do the same. I offer any new and upcoming blogger (and established ones too) my time and help. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told I should write an ebook or charge for this help. I won’t! I’m actually in the process of putting up a business site and on there I’ll be giving out my knowledge of blogging. I drop everything with a phone call needing help be it blogging, personal, etc.
Blogging has given me an income and lots of fun stuff to review. It’s opened so many doors for me and gave me the life I lead today. It’s given me friends I don’t know what I’d do without now. I want to offer this life to anybody else out there who wants it, and I hope they pay it forward also! Blogging can be life changing and if I can open that door for anyone else, I want to.
