Don't ever let it be said that we are alone in this world. I mean, no matter what scenario you find yourself in there is always someone there for you. And there is always a simple way that you can help others.

The of dawn of the Internet Age has helped this in many ways. We have blogs and forums and groups all over the world to reach out and help each other.

Myself, I turned my many blogs and profiles into a place where I can inform people of my situation involving life with birth defects. Here on Mindsay I have met and become friends with many great people who also have disabilities. Those friends and I have started to help and support each other out.

Over on Yahoo I found a group for people with my particular disability (Poland's Syndrome). I didn't like how that group was being run so I started my own (there is a link to it in my bookmark section). People have joined and we are there for each other.

Over on my MySpace profile I decided about a month ago to mention PS in a few sentences of my About Me. Amazingly, I have already gotten two messages form people about PS. One was from a man who has it and the other from a mother who's daughter has it. I wasn't expecting those but they are cool.

Somehow, I have found a way to find other people like me in a way I didn't expect. I don't know for certain but I kind of like to think that it's helping them just as much as it's helped me. It has showed me that this world isn't as sad and desperate as it may seem. It proved to that people will always help you as long as you search for the help you need. And as long as we are helping others along the way it's gona work out, I think.

Thanks,
