I have these real-life friends that I’ve gotten to know because I’m a blogger, and they are, too:

• Amy who, like me has done more than one blog project. She’s the reason I had the confidence to fire up a wiki for my firm.
• Sean, the podcast mastermind behind Voices of Poverty.
• Amanda, who was my first online editor, then a real-life friend, then a co-blogger and now someone I love dearly from miles away.
• Brian, Amanda’s dancin’ half, who is my one and only Netflix friend.
• Waldo, what, guys, the most prolific blogger on the east coast? Certainly in C’ville. Amazing.
• Jennifer, fellow working mom and fantastic friend.

Because I’m a blogger, I have these virtual friends that are no less important to me than the real-live in person ones:

• Dana, who all the C’ville Working Moms should read! I’ll translate any St. Louis specific terms that boggle your mind.
• Michelle, who used to work where I used to work, but we didn’t work there simultaneously — got that? She’s a marketing genius and a noteworthy industry blogger.
• Robin, one I’ve turned to in times of distress because I knew she’d understand — and she did! A warm, wonderful, generous soul.
• Dwight, mentor to writers and wannabes in STL and beyond.

And, because I’m a blogger, I have web cred among my peers, and that pretty much rocks.
