Dear Rita,

You are too funny. I really needed this comment today. I am SO shocked how supportive some people are online. I still can’t believe that everytime I asked for any prayer request someone always responded. It still amazes me and I ALWAYS want to know what’s going on in their lives.

Take care and God bless to you too,
Shynea

Dear Frugalista,

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am just like you. I have met women through blogging and Twitter that have become some of my closest friends and I have more than enjoyed carrying that frienship offline. I hope to meet you at a conference this year as well. I will be attending the BlogHer and Blogalicious conferences this year. I look forward to getting to know you better through Twitter and through each other’s blog.

Take care,
Shynea

Yes, ma’am. I have people who have become real life friends, whom I’ve met through twitter, facebook and blogging. I know we are on each other’s feed on twitter, but somehow I have missed what’s been going on in your life. I hope to meet you at a conference, soon. I believe in connecting online and in real life. I am praying for you and your family. May you have the strength to weather the ride of life.

Girl you are so on point. I tell you when I started breaking out in hives I facebooked my prayer request that I would find out what it was. This was before I was a tweeter. But the outpour of love was so great! So I believe you can have a virtual family.

Know that I’m always praying for you and your family.

You are the bomb girl!

Blessings

Dear Heather,

My online family ROCKS. lol There is NO other way to put it. I swear, y’all have checked in with me on my son more than a lot of people in my offline life have. He is doing SO much better. Still bruising and minor swelling but his nose is looking better.

Take care,

Dear Cat,

You have taken the words right out of my mouth. I too would rather go to the women I have met online for advice before I talk to anyone offline. I get more understanding from y’all before anyone else. The online world is SO much apart of my world that I don’t see a difference anymore. I love my online family and I have NO idea what I would do without them.

Take care,
Shynea

Dear Priscilla,

You have NO idea how grateful I am that I met you. You have helped me on my blog so much and I appreciate that. I always turn online whenever I need support, encouragement or advice and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Take care,
Shynea

Dear LaShaunda,

I am SO glad that you visit my blog. I LOVE sharing my family online and wouldn’t have it any other way. I am a fairly open book and I know that with some of the things that I write I open myself up to criticism.

I do have a very good online friend that has become my best friend and I hold her friendship VERY close to my heart.

I will continue to share.

Take care,
Shynea
