Now that I am working I find I miss being in touch with you all every second of the day through twitter/facebook/blogs. But I talk about you all with friends - "I've met this really cool group of people on the Internet"...it sounds lame, but I know it isn't. You feel like family to me already - how amazing/weird is that? <br /><br />Jessica - I love that you have one pair of Jimmy Choos. You can definitely bring them along to the commune. I'll be bringing my diamond engagement ring I still refuse to take off (although I wear it on the other hand given we divorced five years ago, ha!).<br /><br />It is all about connection though isn't it? And quality connections - that is what I am valuing so much with you all. I love the strength of your honesty and self-reflection and how you share your journey with us all here. <br /><br />I can't wait for you all to visit us in Oz some day :-)MissMandienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1727115344580451978.post-61121883399737710562010-06-22T11:12:02.697-05:002010-06-22T11:12:02.697-05:00I really love our little community too.

I meant to include you in my list of new friends - I'm so sorry I didn't! I will fix that pronto. <br /><br />As to going to bed early, I should definitely do that. It's far better than staying up way too late and waking up groggy. Maybe I'll try that one too.Slackermomspeaksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1727115344580451978.post-6960017677944332832010-06-21T22:10:19.406-05:002010-06-21T22:10:19.406-05:00That's exactly it - I "feed on connection...That's exactly it - I "feed on connection". I need to remember that when I feel hungry but it's not for food.

It's so true.<br /><br />The connections I have made online are priceless. During the worst of times these past few years, I would say that if you measured my wealth by the quality of my relationships, I'd be a multi-trillionaire. Connection is everything--and you do it as a healer, a writer, a mom, a tortilla chip-eating fiend :). <br /><br />When I began to see that I was *always* connected, that I could close my eyes and feel the support I needed, the loneliness of being an online business owner subsided. And then I didn't need to fill myself up with things I didn't need. Of course, I still get lost on FB or Twitter at times, but being more aware and accepting of all the ways I am already connected to exactly what I need helped me when I was at my lowest.<br /><br />And if you must bring those Jimmy Choo's to the commune, we'll understand.:)lisamilesbradynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1727115344580451978.post-86130799456628393552010-06-21T17:43:25.634-05:002010-06-21T17:43:25.634-05:00Linda - Thanks for stopping by and taking the time...Linda - Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!

And it all started because you made a suggestion on your blog, I took you up on it and here we are!

I love it. Back in the blogging dark ages of 2000/2001, I felt this same sense of community with another bunch of wonderful bloggers. Unfortunately, we were all hosted on the same server that was taken down without notice, and none of us had thought to connect with each other outside of comments, so the whole thing fell apart. I still miss them.<br /><br />About the kidney: good to know. I'll keep it in mind. :)LaVonne Ellishttp://completeflake.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1727115344580451978.post-43109784945160115292010-06-21T17:20:13.184-05:002010-06-21T17:20:13.184-05:00First--I love the title of your blog!
