This weekend I’m in San Diego at BlogHer 2011.
In the weeks leading up to this trip, I thought about canceling. A lot.
But here I am. I’m here. And I’m glad.
It was a year ago, at BlogHer 2010 in New York City, that I publicly talked about my life situation for the first time. Surrounded by people who deeply cared about my well-being, who read between the lines and suspected that something wasn’t quite right, I finally lifted the veil.
It was a turning point in my life, and looking back to that weekend, one year ago, I am humbled.
Here I am.
Changed.
Surviving.
Living.
Happy.

Hugs lady.
You’ve come so far in the past year
I wish I was there celebrating that year mark with you! xoxo
Nice to hear from you! You’ve been quiet these last months.
Oh dear! I wish I had known to look for you. I am so glad you posted.
So glad you did not cancel. So glad to see you at BlogHer. XOXO
I’m so happy that you are thriving, love. Truly. I had tickets to go this year, but I had to cancel. Next year!
I was supposed to be there as well, but I just couldn’t do it. Couldn’t make up my mind to just go then a teaching conference came up that they wanted me to attend. I’m glad to hear from you though. Here’s to your new life.
So glad to really meet you last year and see you this year. You are one of the highlights of the trip for me.
Thanks for “talking” to me when I couldn’t talk at all.
xo
I was in the session about blogging thru the hard stuff and heard you comment. Although I’ve been following you all this time, to hear your voice talking about it was amazing. You are so strong.
…and so beautiful! But I digress…
It was fantastic to see you. I’m so glad we got the chance to visit a little. It’s never enough time, but that’s the story of BlogHer, right? xoxo
Very well said. You have a deep usage of the words and express your thoughts well. It is very nice and overwhelming to feel that everybody is listening to you and you feel them.
