Oh, where to start?!
First, thank you so very much, Angie. I loved meeting you, too. What a pleasure it was! Thank you again - from the bottom of my heart - for your kindness and generosity. You are one very special woman!
I loved being in Boston. It was a tremendous experience. After my first few initial seconds of shyness (I'm an introvert, too, Viva), I was totally fine. I was having such a good time that I didn't really spend any time thinking badly about myself. You all were so right that I would come away from the experience feeling recharged. I have. Thank you, Suz, Viva, Isabel, Jjsloane, and Janet for being so kind and supportive. It was wonderful to meet you, and I had a ball. I hope we can do it again! Maybe soon with the locals.
TraceyLiz65, Alicat, Beth Ann, Adelfa, and Kimberley, thank you all for your words of advice and encouragement. Every bit helped. I read and reread all of the comments Friday night before the meetup, and I must say, I was feeling in a much better place thanks to everyone who responded to my post. Again, thank you all.
