The post this evening is very personal.  The truth of the matter is, I need your help.  I'm going to be very direct.   While most of my posts come straight from the brain onto the screen, this one comes straight from the heart.

I NEED YOUR HELP.  

I believe that cancer has delivered my opportunity to 'contribute a verse' as Walt Whitman said. 

Please, help me write that verse:

I need a webmaster to help me get my website(s) up and running.
Do you know anyone in college looking to get some experience, a recent graduate, or someone who may consider pro bono work? Perhaps even a retired dot.com person who is bored and looking for a good cause?  You get the picture...

I need a project manager to help me organize the various pieces of this new endeavor.  
I was thinking perhaps a recently (or not so recently) retired person who is meticulous and likes to keep things 'squared away' 'to a t'? Or a young engineering/accountant/industrial engineer?  You know the type...

I need help increasing traffic to the blog and the websites.
Where are my tech-savvy, plugged into the marketplace friends who can sell ice cream in December?  (hmmm... Doesn't translate as well in California!) Where are my college students working on real-world application type problems that may or may not pertain to their major but you joined anyway because there was that cute chick or guy in the group?  Or perhaps you have a 'regular' job, but like a good challenge outside of work? I know these types exist out there, but I don't see one when I look in the mirror!!!

I need the energy and hope - that comes from sharing my story, and the love and energy people have shared with me...  I have the audacity to believe that there are people out there struggling who can gain relief in knowing they are not alone, in laughing at a well placed joke, or even crying over elicited memories.  

But, I need your help.  

Let's start here:  Everyone please share this blog with at least one other person.  If you are reading it now, I hope you find it worthwhile enough to do so. 

If you can help, or know someone who can, please leave a comment below. I can keep the comment private by not 'publishing' it if need be.  

Thank you for reading.  And, thank you for your help.
