Uh oh! I'm baaacckk! I have decided to take the 30 day blogging challenge (http://jumping-duck.com/2009/11/30-days-of-blogging/). This could be very interesting.
Each day for the month of December I have committed to writing at least a 300-word post. While 300 words doesn't seem like a lot, when one hasn't been blogging since April, it's a huge challenge. Why, right now, I only have 62 words down.
The thing is, I always have ideas for posts swimming around in my head. The problem is getting them out of there and onto virtual paper. I am hoping that taking this challenge will instill in me the discipline necessary to become a successful blogger. I’m actually quite excited about this. Please enjoy the ride with me!

Of course, I don’t remember my exact responses, only that I was so very wrong in my predictions of how many would get it, how fast, and how long it would take to find a cure. I really believed it would not spread like it has and a cure would be found in short order.
Now, more than 33 million people have HIV/AIDS with 22 million of those in
So, what do I do? I can help raise awareness. This disease is not going away and we need to continue to be vigilant about it. I need to make sure my children understand about it and know how to protect themselves. I will buy (Red) when I can – I already have a (red) iPod.
If each of us just takes one small action, we can make a difference. What will you do?
