Something that we need to be careful not to swindle. I did not attend BlogHer, but we have seen the good that this community can do. Time to refocus, regroup, re-purpose, and use our power for good.

But you're preaching to the choir with me. It was my first BlogHer, so I found it a little overwhelming. The one social action workshop I attended (with the amazing Gina MacCauley) proved that one woman can affect extraordinary change. I wish more of this existed at BlogHer -- that this was a priority instead of the other stuff. Thanks for speaking your truth, which is mine...and many others, I suspect. Amen, sistah!

I don't usually write about politics in my personal blog, but thought you and your readers might enjoy a post I wrote today.

She commented several times about the power and the clarity of the voices of the women in the room. She evened stated that she will be reaching out to several writers for the Daily Beast. All three of the panelists evidently spent a great deal of time here listening. Quite a statement that is one way of confirmation of your statement. Listening to Tina Brown this morning.

The local United Way chair, the woman who had organized the building of an accessible playground, several local teachers... we realized then that we'd pledged our membership not to a giggling batch of partiers, but to a group of amazing women. “There’s so much power in this room.” I was attending an alumni “tea” for my sorority (gulp, yes, I was a Greek geek) and my friend and I said almost the same thing: “Wow, we’re among the movers and shakers here!” The local United Way chair, the woman who had organized the building of an accessible playground, several local teachers… we realized then that we’d pledged our membership not to a giggling batch of partiers, but to a group of amazing women.

Who knew? But it's a good question and one I don't think has been addressed by the larger XXblogosphere. There’s more to women blogging than product pimping and swag? Who knew?
