Each week at Live Healthy we feature a Southern Blogging Mom whose writing has left an impression. This week we are thinking about special Southern Mom Blogger, Anissa Mayhew.
We don't know Anissa personally, but have followed her story. This Atlanta mom of three suffered a stroke earlier this week. Bloggers around the world have rallied around Anissa and her family, rallying in their support of her and her family.
Anissa has been through many challenges, including her daughter Peyton's treatment for cancer. From that experience she started Hope 4 Peyton, where she chronicled her family's journey, and writes about her life as a mom at Free Anissa.
Rachel at A Southern Fairytale has complied a list of bloggers who have written posts for Anissa here. It's clear when you read them how many people care about Anissa and her family, and it also speaks to the bonds that are formed between those who share their stories online.
As Rachel says, "We first connect with our hearts and later, often in real life. Our bonds are truly powerful."
Anissa, please know that your friends at Southern Living are pulling for you.
