When I traveled to India with our team of Compassion bloggers last week, I felt like Lance Armstrong.  It wasn't just me pedaling a bike along the Champs-Élysée, there were a host of friends–online and off–cheering me on in prayer, thought and deed.  Their "drafting" made it easier for me to follow in their wake :).

It's overdue and only begins to express my gratitude, but I'd love to show a little linky love to those who:  a) posted about our trip with Compassion International; and b) let me know they were praying for us.  Those kindnesses and generosity of spirit made a difference in my well-being, I'm convinced of that.  Thank you.  A lot.  

{I'm feeling a little Academy Awards-ish, concerned I'll accidentally leave someone off this list;  If I missed you, please forgive me and let me know via email or in comments; I'll add you as soon as I can!}

   To Candace and Debbie at Mamanista for connecting me with Dollar Days, who sent two huge boxes crammed full of STUFF for the children at the projects we visited; I couldn't believe their generosity.

For those of you who've been moved to sponsor children after reading Compassion~India posts?   YOU are moving mountains in their lives!   Thank you for your decision to invest lavishly in their lives!  (And "now" is always the best time to make that decision yourself…children are waiting…!)

I know I've missed some friends, so again, please, don't hesitate to let me know & I'll add you!
