The relationships are very, very real. I so hope that we meet in IRL. I've been saying this a lot lately to people, but that's because I have true hope that it will be so.

Whenever I talk about these internet people and things to people in real life they don't get it and think it's strange but you get it! But I like what someone said that Maria said in her talk (I read it on twitter or heard it in a podcast recap) that all the people you talk to on the other side of their screen are REAL PEOPLE with souls and lives and problems..just because we aren't physically together doesn't mean we don't have real friendships, and aren't touching souls. <br /><br />One day I hope to get to a CNMC IRL..we'll see.Beth Anne @ Beth Anne's Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015984989737705564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-5798997204802675602015-06-13T21:00:33.017-04:002015-06-13T21:00:33.017-04:00Jennifer, oh me too, me too!

It amused me at how many of us seemed like introverts coming out of our shells. (I vacillate between intro- and extro-, depends on the day and time). I look forward to many more fabulous encounters in the future. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550139742344663122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-74020159259877746722015-06-12T21:35:49.033-04:002015-06-12T21:35:49.033-04:00Tell Deacon Tom that he needs to stay exactly the ...Tell Deacon Tom that he needs to stay exactly the same, lol!

I told him "Tiffany... talking about her weekend, and she's crying!" Now Tom thinks he might need to be more serious with you, rather than teasing (which is his specialty by the way).

I was already thinking this morning, that when you get to the heel flap of your sock, maybe I'll create some videos for you to talk you through things each step of the way. ;-)And that's what these conferences are all about to me - we have the joyful meeting in person (that is *absolutely* incomparable) to sustain our hearts and spirits throughout our sometimes challenging journey of life, but in the between times, we can lift each other up in other ways. And you are in my heart and mind just the same as the local friends that I get to see and have dinner with monthly. So, so wonderful. Until we meet again! Let me know when you get to that heel flap. ;-)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-75727486669234980612015-06-11T12:03:42.045-04:002015-06-11T12:03:42.045-04:00SHELLY!!!!

But we live in joyful hope, and so that is what I am determined to do! We WILL meet up in person in the future.

I felt the same way that you did. I was more outgoing than usual and it felt good! It was a great experience for me and it was great to reflect about how different the experience this time was to 5-6 years ago with previous CNMCs. My life is completely different now due to how much I have healed from my abuse since back then. It's a beautiful reminder that I can now say that I embrace life now instead of hiding from it. Thank you for writing this and showing your true emotions. You are blessing to the SQPN community!angelstephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16976824999263820352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-86982618675512292552015-06-11T11:52:30.215-04:002015-06-11T11:52:30.215-04:00I can't watch your video at work, because I...I can't watch your video at work, because I'm already a blubbery mess that I couldn't go and MEET YOU IN PERSON. So I'll have to wait until this weekend to cry with you. I love your blog and personal posts; Lisa was supposed to tell you that you had me with the post about pumping at the office, because I was doing the same thing (in a library also!) and it was instant camaraderie, solidarity as Catholic working mamas. I'd love to say See you next time, but we never know... I'm still in numb disbelief that I couldn't attend this year. So I'll crawl back into my own overworked soul-sucking job and cry about it at home.Shelly Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810739177913507382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-6114697124548333412015-06-09T19:23:33.244-04:002015-06-09T19:23:33.244-04:00Jeff, you are reading and now you know my secret. ...Jeff, you are reading and now you know my secret. ;-) Thank you so much.

And after watching your video, I am, too.<br /><br />Nothing affirms more significantly the importance of what SQPN is and does than the kind of reaction that you had. I, too, was touched by the power of the community and personalities of this organization some 10 years ago. I felt that I <i>must</i> be involved in some way with it. I am so truly blessed to be a part of it.<br /><br />I am so excited about our future in Catholic digital media. I am positive that people like <i>you</i> will be the face of our future. I look forward to seeing the fruits to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-66583717096396791872015-06-09T17:44:07.749-04:002015-06-09T17:44:07.749-04:00Marika!

It was so great meeting you. I would never have pegged you as an introvert. I myself am a mega introvert, and it's probably going to take a couple of days, at least, to recover. I got a head start by having seven hours in a car by myself, lol. But in that 7 hours, one thing I thought about was how can we continue that sense of community that happens at the CNMC. at first I thought about regional Meetups. but then I thought about using social media. Perhaps something like a monthly Google hangout similar to the mastermind sessions. I don't know I just got home so none of this is thought out but I thought I'd post it here.

Side note: you can be an introvert and still enjoy engagement with others at the MACRO level you experienced (I just saw a charming and open Tiffany). Give yourself a space to recharge alone when you delve out into conference style interaction, and you'll do great. (I;m also an introvert. I can be crazy loud, but then need to recharge)<br /><br />See you in a couple of weeks! I'll be happy to be one of your +1sBegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669563396315761827noreply@blogger.com
