And more recently, I received a childcare options survey from Blogher as part of the planning for this summer's conference. What they will do is write what they did and draw a picture. I read Lisa Canter's post about taking her young kids (Mimi and Lucy) to the SXSW Conference and smiled. I will respond on this blog and by phone calls.

While window shopping in our neighborhood this weekend, my husband and I went into a store that was selling the beautiful handmade bag pictured here.

One of the most exciting things for me was to finally meet Tharum (a Cambodian blogger) and pictured above face-to-face. First, there was a lot of energy in the room, similar to the blogher , because a lot of people had been reading each other's blogs or posts on GV, but had never met face-to-face.

I met Laura at Boston Podcamp very briefly and grabbed her card so I could catch up with her for an interview for Blogher. You can see her picture and her pitch on our website here Mara had a limited budget, so she could not just go out and hire the people that she needed to help her make a name for herself.

I was in high school, I was 17 and my first trip to Africa was to Kenya with my family, just on a picture safari. I'm actually not the typical, at least in the way that we talk about it now, picture of a social entrepreneur because I actually didn't set out to create an organization at first.

Hats off to Lisa, Jory, and Elisa (as well as to my fellow BlogHer CE editors) for posting such brilliant thoughts about this topic. SPEAK - Use a badge from Scott McLeod on your blog and hyperlink it to [link] , or just copy the link and image from the picture. Ethnic, racial or gender slurs. Bad language directed at a person.

Now what about painted a picture on a napkin in a restaurant? Has anyone ever seen giant puppets in the streets for a protest, or seen pictures of that? What I do is, I write for several blogs, as she mentioned. Does anyone identify just as a concerned citizen, like "Oh my God, what is going on in the world?" Can I just see?
