BlogHer 2011 Diaries – Stories From the Front #4

Posted on August 7, 2011 at 4:00pm 2 Comments

And so, my first ever conference for bloggers comes to a screeching halt. 

 

NOOOOO!!!

 

I was just beginning to learn at the feet of giants!  And by this I mean, bloggers who have been blogging way longer than I and who have far more experience than this gal from Queens, aka, me. Though, true, today does mark my one-year anniversary of blogging. Hooray for me!

I also met Trey who writes a blog called Daddy Mojo. Dominque has written a book and it's about to come out in paperback. It's called, "Slow Love - How I Lost… Continue

Here I am at BlogHer 2011 in sunny San Diego (aka, my hometown), and all I can say is,



Somebody pinch me!



I can't believe I'm having so much fun and the festivities are just getting started--at least for me it is, because I didn't sign up for the pre-conference activities. But still, this is grand. After all, I'm surrounded by my people! My fellow bloggers, mostly women, but some men, too.



And here's the thing about bloggers: they're not shy and they carry a… Continue
