Thanks to social media and blogging, some of my dearest friends are women whom I’ve never even seen, let alone met or heard their voices. Does that make them less special to me? Absolutely not!

Audrey, I seriously made my husband read this post. So very true!

This only makes me look forward to meeting you even more! I will see you soon, my friend.

P.S. This post is sooo true, Audrey! I couldn’t agree with you more!

Hopefully one day we will be able to all meet up in person. I mentioned that to your Mom! I’d love for you to meet Little One!

There is something so very special about the friends you meet from the blog. In some ways I share things I wouldn’t normally do with the friends I have IRL. It sounds weird, I know.

Ooooh! Great post!

Sorry for being such a deliquent blogger! Miss your blog and posts. Will try to hop on over here like I used to…which was all the time.

C XOXO

It’s an amazing thing, like having pen pals that you can exchange letters, conversations, within minutes instead of weeks. My online friends usually know me better than others, simply because sometimes the hardships of life can only be written about instead of talked about.

So glad to have met you and your sis and mom, a trifecta of brilliance.

I often find myself saying, “I was reading my friend’s blog the other day…” only to realize that I’ve never met many of my blogging “friends.” It’s true that FB, twitter, and blogging open up a whole new world. I love it. My husband doesn’t get it, but then he’s not social IRL either. Oh, but he is on FB now.

I love the blog/twitter thing too for exactly that reason! It’s made a big huge world a bit smaller!

Of course they are real! Oddly, no one looked at me strange when asking “who are these people” in the Christmas cards hanging up.

Wait, let me take that back, they only commented on the one blogger I actually had met a few times, not on the others…

I love social networking! It’s the highlight of my day . . .well except when my kids are awake or home from school. I have learned a lot from my online friends and have made lasting friendships. I love it!

I know the feeling. Hubs is just now learning who everyone is but my BFF who is not into social media knows everyone now because I call everyone my online friends. I cant’ wait though because this year I’ll hopefully meet some of them at conferences and events!
