If you’re not here, and not me, you’re not experiencing Blogher the way I am, so I’ll just share with you what this experience feels like. This is a little more personal than most of my blog posts, but that’s an effect of the energy and estrogen, I think.

This is how I feel – it’s like knowing you’re adopted your whole life and one day, finding out you have a whole bunch of sisters, and maybe a brother or two. So you start corresponding with some of your newfound siblings and then you arrange a meeting. This conference is a little like what I think that reunion would be like. It’s unbelievably emotional for me to be with so many people with the same interests, issues and thoughts that I have. While I’m enjoying it thoroughly, there’s a part of me that just wants to go off in the corner and sob tears of gratefulness. It is the overwhelming joy of finding community. I know I’m being overly sentimental but truly, this is a very moving experience for me, as a writer.
