Happy Tuesday! After working to pull off the Boston Bloggers event last night, it reminded me of something incredibly important about the blogosphere: the whole reason I started blogging in the first place. After our wedding in April 2010, I had a lot of extra time on my hands, which {in turn} prompted me to channel my energies into something constructive. I was also aching to find a good crew of like-minded folks--without joining a group on some random meet-up website. I'm more than pleased with what I've discovered in the last two years...


After a wonderful night last night, I recognized again how blogging brought me a new sense of happiness I never felt possible. I had no clue that blogging could help me just be. Because of you, my life is infinitely richer and happier. I'll thank Leo Tolstoy for the encouragement to just be, but I'll thank all of you in the blogosphere for helping me to realize it is possible. If you're on the fence about blogging, make the jump. Right, fellow bloggers?

  3. Absolutely agree with you. I think most people don't even realize the community that comes along with blogging until they start doing it either; at least I didn't. It really is a wonderful thing, though.

    It was so so good to see you last night! Looking forward to making a little Providence visit :)

  6. Agree! I am so happy I started blogging and I had no idea it was a community of such awesome people. I've only been at it for a few months but I've already met some awesome people through blogging and I love sharing thoughts/experiences/style with so many awesome people.

  10. I'm so sad I wasn't able to make it to this month's event - I tried to make it straight from the airport when I landed, but a long weekend in Atlantic City (and an impending move on Friday) are serverely dragging me down! I'm really looking forward to the next one so I can finally join and meet all of you lovely people!
