BAD Summary: Get the Good Stuff

October 15, 2008

This is one of my favorite songs. The lyrics seemed appropriate for Blog Action Day.

I have been stunned by the amount of terrific content gong out today on Poverty for Blog Action Day. For a quick Yellow Pages of the best I’ve found today, read on.

Amy encourages us to get off our kiesters.
Sean talks about Daddy Destitution.
Matthew Dryden will rock your world with a tale of true poverty.
Namas Daisy speaks from her heart about the tragic silent famine.
James talks about how recession is good for entrepreneurs.
Oktober Five blogs about his personal form of poverty.
Mary blogs about affirmations and poverty.
Dave Navarro hits us where it hurts with “The Poverty Snowball What is Your Life Worth?”
Wendi Kelly inspires to get involved with Do It Anyway.

If you have a Blog Action Day post, please leave a link below. I’d love to stop by and give it a read.

Thanks to everyone above for participating and contributing to such a worthwhile cause.

Writer Dad, actually, I think it's an illness, but it benefits many.:) Thank you.

Hi Amy, I was pleased to include your post. It was one of the best ones I found today.

Hi Mary, thanks for your wonderful BAD post. I hope our efforts will affect others and inspire them to action, as well. Thanks for stopping by!

Today was a powerful day for me. I truly enjoyed reading many of the Blog Action Day posts. They were moving, powerful, and full of life.

There was so much good stuff shared today on poverty - what an amazing group of bloggers out there spreading the word about this (including you!). This day has had a big impact on me - and I only hope I can sustain the feeling I have today going forward - I know that will be the hard part for me...

Would I be repeating myself too much if I keep saying "Thank you, thank you, thank you"? I don't know what I did to deserve so much linkage!

Jamie Simmerman

Hi Stacey, thanks for including your post. I'll be sure to check it out today!

Lance, I think it has had a big impact on many of us. I just hope it lives beyond today. :) Thanks for the compliment.

Matthew Dryden, If you write it, (and it's good) link love will come. :D

You are magnificent! I read the lyrics to Brandon heath's song "give Me Your Eyes" as if hearing the song wasn't enough, but I am a visual learner and the impact was even greater.
Thank you. The world is a better place because of people like you.

Hi Daisy, I absolutely love that song. I bought both of his CD's last week and am now wishing I had spread them out a little. I can't wait for the next one! That song is so powerful. Thanks for the compliment, it means a lot coming from you. :)

Jamie Simmerman

Mr. Dryden will be writing more wonderful posts this week, yes? I may need a good pick me up after writing out that check for a new car, ouch!

Jamie Simmerman

Since the official Brandon Heath videos have suddenly been banned from embedding, I've changed them out with unofficial ones including lyrics, to help out the visual learners. (Thanks Daisy!) Enjoy!

Wendi Kelly-Life's Little Insp

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for putting my post up there, that was very generous of you! I am so behind on my own blog's back room stuff, I just noticed it!

As I am writing this comment on The Monday moring after now, I am hoping Blog Action Day has stuck with people and that they are still willing to take action rather than just settle for life as usual.

We need to keep the momentum going!

Hey Wendi! No worries, blogging is a lot of work, we all have been there. :)

I was actually thinking about revisiting a few of the BAD posts once a week for the next few months to help keep it alive. Maybe we could all team up and keep it alive.
