The Gardener has been in exile from the garden. In fact, the Garden has been for sale for several months and, although a number of people have expressed interest, the right buyer has not yet come along. If and when the right person shows an interest in carrying on, there will be a sale.
Why?
The answer is very simple: The Garden participates in the October breast cancer awareness program, as described in the post below.
There have been more visitors to this site in relationship to that post than ever before in this site’s history.
That post generated more comments than any other post. Many folks took the time to leave a comment in support of the campaign to raise money for the American Cancer Society. In fact, comments are still being posted expressing support.
And yet . . . not a single person participated in the campaign. Not one. Not a single penny was raised.
Why? Well, I have lots of theories, none of which really matter.
The fact that so many people feigned interest and support, but completely failed to follow through, disappointed and discouraged me to the point that I decided to sell the site and quit blogging. In fact, it has taken me many months to muster the strength to sign on and write this post expressing my feelings.
We are by nature flawed and imperfect beings. But that not a single poster stepped up and put his/her money where his/her comment was by actually making a donation was too much for me. Just. too. much.
