When bloggers meet offline
It was wonderful that the three of us got a chance to meet in person, share ideas and make plans to collaborate in the future. Once again, I am awed by the power of social networking to connect, empower and unite us in a common cause.
Have recently been meeting up with three lovely ladies I met through social media Marie and now look forward hugely to my monthly meet ups. Anyone who knocks my ‘virtual’ world is missing out on some wonderfully fulfilling friendships.

It’s so true Dee and the fact is that we are meeting with people that we actually have a lot in common with – I couldn’t believe how similar Terri and I were in so many ways.

Thank you Jan. I was recalling our oh-too-brief meeting last year and showing Terri the photograph of you and I together on that occasion. I wish we could have had more time to spend together.

Very cool that the three of you connected “face to face.” Just met some of my on-line survivor friends in person for the first time last week at a convention and it was great. Happy Sunday to everyone.
Marie, How’s your Dad?

Marie,
As you may know, I had planned to gather with a group of cyber sisters this exact weekend, and it makes me really sad it didn’t happen. Seeing you live out such a meeting is well, joyful!! So happy you had an opportunity to meet.

That is so cool, and it reminds me that three of the strongest and most supportive friends that I have in my life are friends that I met first through online communities in the early 2000’s.
