Watching, watching interactions, laughing, people, women, talking, gleaning. Should I protect my children's privacy? Is it okay to blog about racial issues, being a white woman? Is mommy blogging radical? These questions and more discussed today.
These women spoke tonight for the keynote speech. Individual women selected and then chose a past post to read aloud. Funny, touching, powerful words.
A few read deeply courageous writings of hurts, depression, body image, suicide attempts- not that the others were not courageous, but these few that I am referring too made me pause and hold my breath. So amazing.
Tonight party at Ruby Skyes- old theatre, beautiful in the inside. Loud, pulsating music, good food, free drinks. More chatting (yelling). So many women, a handful of men.
I crave the quiet, the dark.
Until tomorrow.

craving the quiet eh? maybe you better not come home! :) Kar
Hi Tricia! The babies certainly followed us even to Ruby Skyes, huh? On my way out the door I hung out with a sleeping beauty on her momma's shoulder. I just called my kids and almost cried hearing their voices. Something about the way your kid sounds over a phone... Anyhoo - your blog rocks!
Hey Tricia - nice to meet you yesterday at lunch - thanks for sharing the table.
Tricia - nice to meet you. Thanks for getting that glass of wine for me. I really enjoyed talking to you & hope we get to talk more sometime.
Curious....
Are you qualified as some sort of counselor/therapist? Did you honestly think that YOU would provide a means of PUBLIC mediation ( or perhaps humiliation) between Heather and Jenny or were you just making excuses when you posted this...
Yeah- Apparently I was the foolish cat (Meow) who stood up and asked for Heather's response.
I thought I saw two women hurting and wanted to give her the opportunity to respond...
I don't get what you did but I really don't get your defense.
Ouch.
I left before your comment at the keynote, but I absolutely believe you were trying to do something helpful.
Crap, I picked this blogHer post to comment on because I didn't want to comment on the drama, and I found a comment on it here anyway.
What I wanted to say was thanks for posting about BlogHer. I missed going this year, so I'm following a bunch of links and kinda of living vicariously through them. It's not near the same as meeting new people in real life, but if I'd been there I could have met you, so I'm just going to pretend I did. And you were wonderful!
