BlogHer 2010 – Meeting old friends and making new ones

Christine, Andrea, Sky, and Moi

BlogHer 10 is over and done, but the memories will live on!

Friends that I love even more since I've met them in person.  I shared a room with … [Read more...]

Meeting online friends in person – it is a beautiful thing!

meeting online friends in person

Friends across the miles are something new to me. When I started blogging, I found a group of friends through a forum, and a few of us started talking on Skype. By talking I don't mean face to face, but more like a chat room. Initially there were quite a few of us there - it was a wonderful group. These are the people that you could tell anything … [Read more...]

I am so blessed – this song reminds me

Some days, and I think we all go through this, we find ourselves getting down on life. We think of things we do not have, things we cannot do, and places we cannot go. We complain, or even just think to ourselves, "if only I had more money", "I hate my house", or any other number of things. We all have our daily frustrations and … [Read more...]
