As part of this writing community for 5 years now, it's amazing how connected you become with people you may never meet! Reading their stories, as well as sharing parts of yourself creates this special kind of "bond". So imagine my surprise when I received an email from Judy from "my reading blog," also the mom of Michelle from "literacy zone" telling me she was stopping through New Mexico for a day and would I like to finally meet! I was really excited to finally meet Judy because I was so fortunate enough to work with Michelle for quite a few years before retiring. It was Michelle after all, who brought her mom and I into this wonderful community of writers. We set the day to meet for dinner in Old Town Albuquerque. Our dinner almost didn't happen however, because I transposed a number when giving Judy my cell number! But all worked out and not only did I get to meet Judy, but also her charming husband as well! It was a lovely evening, with lively conversation. It was a little like having Michelle here . . . I do miss her ;-) When I texted Michelle that we had set the day to meet, I told her we would send a selfie! Such a treat meeting these two very special people!

What a great moment! Isn't it incredible when you get to meet, talk with and learn from wonderful people! The world certainly does seem flat!

What a delightful time it was! I felt like we had known each other forever and could continue talking all evening long. So glad that Michelle got us into this community. Till next time!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean! I got to meet Judy and Michelle in Branson. Meeting up with slicers is so much fun. Maybe one day we will stay in Albuquerque on a trip heading west. I'll let you know!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at how our worlds get smaller and smaller, in spite of seeming so large and overwhelming. How great it is that your community is coming together in such authentic and organic ways!

ReplyDeleteOh, this brings tears to my eyes - tears of joy and tears of missing out!!! I'm so glad that you "three" connected in real life. All three special people in my life that mean so much.
