Just A Woman Who Blogs

December 6 Workshop or conference. Was there a conference or workshop you attended that was especially beneficial? Where was it? What did you learn?

I went, I blogged, I twitted, I hugged, I laughed, I cried, I got naked, and I found 100 new blogs.  That was my goal.  100 new blogs by writers I found interesting because they were just as passionate about their own subjects as I am about mine. I wanted to up the ante on my Google Blog Reader (I actually now follow over 1,000) and truly start to show up and participate beyond my cozy corner of the blogosphere.  

Blogher was like no other conference I’ve ever attended before (and as a refugee from the Silicon Valley start-up madness, I've attended lots of tech conferences) and I’m grateful that I managed to actually show up this year.  I learned I really am a woman who blogs. I think that, for me, that was the most important lesson of all.
