Giving Back…Moving Forward @OfWordsandWater

According to WordPress I’ve written over fifty blogs in 2013…that’s pretty good. They want me to share my states with you but is anyone really interested in how many comments I’ve had on the blog this year?

I didn’t think so.

One thing I would like to remember about 2013 is participation in a wonderful anthology with a group of extremely dedicated writers, all of us giving our time and talent to encourage donations to a very worthy cause…clean drinking water for everyone. Here in the US many of us take clean water for granted. You turn the knob, water comes out of the faucet. Easy-peasy. That water starts…where? From a city water treatment, or from a very deep well underground? Knowing where the water we drink and use for every day chores comes from helps a lot when we need to think about water conservation.

All of the stories in Of Words and Water pertain in some way to how water affects our life. It might be as simple as a cup of tea or as frightening as a flood, or a drought. None of the writers will receive any compensation for their work, and the anthology is free to download. We only ask for a donation to this very worth cause, Wateraid This link will take you to more information, as well as a further link to their website.

New Year’s Eve is nearly upon us. I’ll be spending it at home, thank you very much. But I’m setting up a long distance group party with some friends. If you’re going to be around and lonely or bored, come on over…the Internet has to be good for something other than pictures of cats!
