Found you through sheer good fortune.
Looki...Wow.<br /><br />Found you through sheer good fortune.<br /><br />Looking at past BlogHer community keynotes ( I was this past August's, for humor) Anyway, my first time at BlogHer was this year.<br /><br />And what you've said in this post from 2 years ago? Still true.<br /><br />But no one says it.<br /><br />I've spent half an hour going over your old posts.<br /><br />I would have loved your blog, and knowing you, when you were kickin ass over here with authenticity.<br /><br />So sorry you stopped. Wish there was more of this type of blogging going on.<br /><br />At least your blog is still up, and I have your archives.<br /><br />Thank you.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609629888008025050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-53995099860129845392009-09-01T15:07:28.176-04:002009-09-01T15:07:28.176-04:00I didn't hear bout BlogHer until it was over (...I didn't hear bout BlogHer until it was over (maybe I'm not in the "in" crowd, LOL) but I would love to go next year if its in the cards for me.

If someone rubbed me the wrong way, I was outta there -- no feelings hurt, nothing personal.

I am truly one of the "social folks" always have been, always will be however it is doubtful that you will ever see me dancing on a table. <br /><br />That said, I also value downtime and spent almost 2 days in Chicago wandering the city alone, taking in the sites. <br /><br />Next time around I am going to do things differently and just meet and hang out with my friends because the whirlwind pace of BlogHer was completely overwhelming.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634096295956313230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-33174700753755591892009-07-31T10:28:22.981-04:002009-07-31T10:28:22.981-04:00Kelly, it was lovely to meet you in person.

You will probably not recognise me as I'm actually not really an Ostrich, but that's fine. :D<br /><br />So sorry you're dealing with heavy stuff right now. Mine's been a year of the heavies too what with a relationship split etc, hence my absence with the visiting and the comments, but I had to pop over when some Brit bloggers who managed to get to blogher mentioned you.
