I’d like to take a second, or about 5 minutes, to write a little bit about a new club I’ve joined.
Karing Card Club
As a blogger, I’m in a few different Facebook groups, and for the most part everyone is so very helpful and supportive. If you have a tech issue, ask it and you’ll get a few responses of things to try. Excited that a brand wants to talk with you about a campaign? Many congrats and tips from others who may have worked with that brand. Upsetting comment from a reader? You better believe your cyber-friends will have your back.
But most of us are women, and, well, (I can say this as a woman) you know how women can be.
There is drama. And there can be hurt feelings. And since I’m just plugging along, doing my own thing, it doesn’t get to me. I don’t fan the flame, but I will speak up in defense of someone if I believe they’ve been ‘done wrong’.
Encouraging Others
The Karing Card Club was started by Kendra from Kreative Creationz (co-hosted by Jacqueline of Project Purse Club and Kirsten of One Tough Mother) as a way for bloggers to connect with a different person each month, and share a little encouragement in the form of a traditional, paper, snail-mail greeting card. Each month has a different theme; April’s was Happiness.
I received the beautiful card (above) from Erica who writes We Three Crabs. Pinwheels make everyone happy, have you ever picked one up and NOT blown?! Erica wrote a sweet message inside, just for me. And I returned the sentiment with a card to her, because she was my buddy this month.
So if you’re a blogger and you’d like to join in the fun, encourage another when perhaps they’re having a bad day, join us in the Karing Card Club (May’s theme is Friendship) by filling out this form.
You might just brighten your month.
Kendra says
Hi, Ann Marie! The pinwheels are too cute and I love the colors. Thank you for being a part of the Karing Card Club!
