My Writing Campaign to Raise Awareness


I am on a mission! At times I am totally dumbfounded at the lack of information there is online about food allergies! Seriously, are we the only people that have allergic kids?

While I had this on my mind, I also had the desire to get back into "the work world." My dream has always been to freelance write from home while my kids were young so that I could still be the PTA mom, dropping off and picking up at school, caring for them while they were sick...well, you get the picture.

So, into my little brain popped an idea! What if I could combine raising awareness about food allergies (and really, allergies, eczema, and asthma in general) into my desire to return to work as a freelance writer?

OK, you saw this coming, didn't you? I have been applying all over the place for online jobs to be able to write about my passion. And people are actually hiring me!

I am so excited to share with you the link to a column I have been writing for a few weeks now. It is all about allergies (not just food either!).

Check out my Examiner articles here!
You can subscribe via email or RSS feed just like you can here. In fact, I would love for you to do that and leave me some comments, too. I'm the new girl over there and I miss my allergy moms!

I also got a job at Suite 101. That is the site I talked about on Saturday. Check out my stuff here. I can write on anything I want to over here. You can also subscribe over there, too. If you do and you wonder if I have any interests outside of allergies, you will see that I do. (Plus, you'll find out what a nerd I am about things like organization and cooking.) You are also welcome to leave comments over there, too. I just started over there so I'm still building my content. (Another reason to subscribe.)

So, there you have it! One mom's mission to help raise awareness about allergies online!!
