Have Fun - Do Good

AUGUST 12, 2011

Last week I spoke at BlogHer '11, a gathering of over 3,000 women bloggers. One of the main reasons I go to BlogHer is to connect with old friends and to make new ones like: Beth of My Plastic-free Life. Together Counts' BlogHer 5K I ran the BlogHer 5K with Siel/Green LA Girl, which was a real milestone for me, since I've been Embracing Resting this year after injuring my toe. It was my fifth, and favorite BlogHer conference, largely because of the location.

For as long as I’ve been blogging, there’s been BlogHer empowering women to express themselves through technology. The fact that it comes from BlogHer makes it all the more special to me I have such respect for the site and brand. Therefore, it was a thrill and an honor to receive an email this morning that my site has been named their “Feature Blogger of the Week&# in the tech section.

I finally arrived in Chicago after getting up at 3:00 am to catch an early flight. So, yesterday was on less hours of sleep than number of lattes consumed. I had three lattes. Do the math. But, I had an opportunity to meet Sheila Bernus Dowd who writes a blog called Starfish Circle where she shares her insights about the nonprofit community in Silicon Valley. Check it out! It is always fun to meet readers who you have never met face-to-face and so I had to get my photo taken with her

Last night was the thank you dinner for BlogHer Contributing Editors, panelists and sponsors. blogher 06 blogherI took a bunch of pix that you can check out on my Flickr account. I would say that the dominant theme was lemon drops and a burning desire for people to be wearing nametags so that you can figure out if you read them. My favorite moment last night was when Grace Davis met Susie Bright and was speechless until Susie gave her a big kiss.

This group of bloghers was having an animated conversation in the hall after lunch. That was the biggest buzz in the halls at Blogher. Technorati Tags: blogher. It turns out that they all read each other, but never had a chance to meet face-to-face. Jade Li from Weblogs, Inc and Lynda Keeler from delight.com. The buzz?
