Today I sat with a handful of very powerful blogger moms.  I’ve never really known what bloggers do except communicate and communicate with one another.  Chit chat was my best guest.  My age puts me outside of this circle of knowledge.  But today I got it.  Bloggers, as least these bloggers, are just regular people, bright, I have to say, but regular people sharing information.  In this case, information about being moms.  There are so many people with information that others can use, it is an incredible tool for sharing that information.  The interesting thing is that these women know each other and each others’ work, support it and in turn share it again.   They pass it forward.

The fascinating thing for me is that these women are very forthright and stay true to themselves and their intent to pass on good information.  Their integrity is essential to them.  I applaud them.  Advertisers are now starting to see their worth and are sending them products to try in hopes that they will like it and will write about it.  There seemed to be no conflict in their minds as to whether to speak openly about a pair of jeans or anything else they may have received but do not like.  Smart girls, all of them!

Those women who came to my gallery in La Jolla today were optimistic, focused, level-headed and moving forward.  I like that.  The blogs they have created individually are www.mamarazziknowsbest.com, www.happyhealthyhip.com, www.rockonmommies.com, www.somedayilllearn.com and www.lajollamom.com.  There was one master twitter among them, Martha Swartz, who goes by the tag  TAZ31263.

It was a thrill to have these women and moms in the gallery today.  They had fun looking around at the art for children and those special sentiments for mothers.  I made a gift for them.  The verse on the piece of art I gave them said:  “Only mothers can change the world by the children they bring into it and raise.  Mothers matter more than we know.”
