Bloggers on the town!
I'm only slightly embarrassed to say how nervous I was to meet four new friends. In this strange medium we can know the intimate details of someone's life when we have never even seen their face. Meeting someone like that is like going in on the third date, and I had real butterflies walking into town with Susannah and Jo.
I should have known better. It was only a matter of seconds before we were laughing and talking like the oldest friends. With lots of 'air blogging' and caffeine and sunshine, by the time we parted I was exhausted from all of the laughter. They are all even feistier and sassier and wiser and more beautiful in real life than they are on line.
The other thing that happens when you meet bloggers is that you get photographed - a lot - and you know that you will more than likely see those pictures again! But it was okay. It felt natural and silly and like we were documenting the beginning of something.
Here's to friendship and connection and being brave enough to take a chance. (...and ladies, I am so glad that you are in my life! Can't wait to see you in Oxford. xo)

what a thrill to know that the in-person was better than expected. I am happy for you that it was such a great day ... makes me feel a little braver about stepping away from my desk. :)
Megg, wunderful to see your local blogger's coming togeter!
Back here in our part of So Calif, we've been doing this for a couple of years. It's a vibrant community which just gets better with each gathering. Last month we had about 50 show up from within our community.
Keep doing it, and with new twists, and it will increasingly reward you all!
Yes, here is to that good stuff!
:)
Your blog is so beautiful and inspiring. I love that you met some of your blog family and had a wonderful time of it! I hope to do the same some time.
Oh I so envy you getting to meet all these wonderful bloggers. I feel so isolated here on Vancouver Island...everybody lives so far away!
May these new connections grow and develop into beautiful friendships for you.
xoxo
