Not sure if you have been noticing a few new icons / links in the sidebar these days… they are there for a reason. I do support these causes. I stumbled first upon We Are Wonderwomen because I was curious to know what the fuss was about Molly Lee. Yes, I know she had won the inaugural Singapore Woman Award conferred on her by Vanilla magazine but really, what had she done that was so inspirational?

I ‘fess to tearing up when I read her blog. Her spirit was determined and strong. And cancer did not deter her from her faith. I am still very touched as I read her blog, still being updated by her husband, Josef. If you or you know someone battling cancer, pass on the link. I am sure it would serve as a source of motivation and inspiration.

Next link up was The Girl Effect. Spotted while blog hopping, it speaks of empowerment and what changes a girl living in poverty can do should she be given the chance to. Learn about it in greater detail and decide for yourself whether it is true… or not. It is different from the normal slant of providing aid blindly… and does have potential. But of course, there will always be two sides to the coin.

Last up is True Moms Confessions. This was a fun read for me. Like a Post Secret for mums, it yielded some funny, some humourous, some sad confessions made by real life mums. What really got my attention was the banner… Motherhood is hard, admit it.

Really it is. More than I’d like to say. But I’d concede that it is rewarding … in its own way.
