Hello and welcome to the new home of Word of the Week, a nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. You reflect back on the past week and sum it up in one word. Then share your word with us in a blog post, with as little or as much explanation as you like.
This linky has been hosted for a long time over on Jocelyn’s blog The Reading Residence, but now she has handed over the reigns to me. I hope all the regular linkers will come and join me now.
There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. Do try to stick to the theme of summing your week up. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in.
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
My Word of the Week
This week my word of the week is Awareness. We had our yearly awareness day for Stiff Person Syndrome on Wednesday 24th October. I had worked really hard making two videos and 20 images complete with facts about Stiff Person Syndrome.
On the day I tweeted from the Stiff Person Syndrome account all day and shared my videos. We had quite a few new people find our Facebook group which is good. Support is vital when you have a condition that hardly no-one has ever heard of.
Here is one of the awareness videos I edited.
Now, it’s over to you, come and tell us how your week has been.

Raising awareness is such an important thing to do. Glad you had a few new people find your Facebook group. Being able to find other people that understand what you’re experiencing and find that online support makes a huge difference. The beauty of the Internet is that ability to bring together people from different places and different walks of life and to help them know they are not alone. #WotW
Great word and it is so important to raise awareness for this condition X #wotw
Love the video, very informative. Raising awareness about rare conditions is very important, and I think you are doing a great job. Facebook support groups can be very helpful as I’ve recently found out 🙂
It is so important to raise awareness. It sounds like you did a great job!
Thank you for hosting x
It sounds like the awareness campaign has been successful if people are finding your facebook group. Worth all the time your group has put into it. Fingers crossed it reaches more people that could do with your support.
