BlogHer! (Really)

An update!

First, if you are a brand new visitor to Pretty All True?

Welcome!

Check out one of my Popular Posts over there on the left at the top of the column.

Or check out my About Page.

You are going to love me, new reader!

OK . . . The rest of you? Guess what?

I am . . .

So awesome.

People?

Today, I need a favor.

Here’s the thing.

One of my posts has been syndicated on BlogHer, which is . . .

The Web’s leading guide to the hottest news and trends among women in social media.

And which features . . .

The best writing by women online in parenting, food, fashion, politics, sex, relationships and more.

Yes, those are quotes from the BlogHer website, but people?

This is a big fucking deal.

For me?

This is a big fucking deal.

A chance to get a little publicity, put my writing in front of some new readers, and hopefully bring some of those readers back here.

A big fucking deal.

I want BlogHer to be impressed with us.

Impressed with what we have built together.

The folks at BlogHer like my writing, but they are also interested in how many people I can bring with me to their website.  The more comments are left over there?  The better sense they will have of the incredible relationship we have been building here on Pretty All True.

I so want to give them a sense of what we have come to mean to one another.

And I know it is two days before Christmas.

And I know you have other things to do.

And so I am asking for a favor.

Please go leave me a comment. Short and sweet is fine.

I want to show them that you are real . . .

And in exchange?

I will show you that we are real.

It’s about time.

So . . . if I manage to get 25 comments over there?

I will post a photo of Kallan.  She wants to be famous, and has agreed to go first.

If I manage to get 50 comments on the BlogHer site?

I will post a photo of Maj.  She does not want to be famous, but as she has no faith that I will get 50 comments?  She is not concerned.

Snort!

And if by some miracle I manage to get 100 comments over there?

I will post a photo of myself.

A photo I love of the girls and me when they were younger.

The girls have changed a lot.  I have changed not at all.

Well, my hair is grayer.

But it’s a black and white photo, so you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference anyway.

Whatever photos get published?

I will post them within this post as the day goes on.

People?

Please help me show BlogHer that you are real.

And in exchange?

My family and I will become more real.

I am asking for a favor.

I have issues with trust.

I have mentioned that before.

But I trust you.

I am closing comments on this post here on Pretty All True.

Please leave your thoughts over on BlogHer today.

Much love, people.

Much love.

Later in the day . . . An update . . .

People?

You fucking blow me away.

I am overwhelmed and teary and just so grateful for your support.

I cannot tell you how much your comments over on BlogHer mean to me.

And if you have not yet been over to BlogHer?

Please go.

And leave me a comment.

Because this is an awesome moment in my life.

And I want you to be a part of it.

I so fucking do.

So much love to you all.
