Diabetes Blog Week 2011 – Day 7

DBlogWeek2011Banner

It’s now the last day of Diabetes Blog Week 2011! Wow! Today’s topic is all about what we’ve learned during the week. Here’s the description from Karen:

What we’ve learned – Sunday 5/15: Last year, Wendy of Candy Hearts made a suggestion for this year.  She commented “I think Day 7 should be a post about stuff we’ve learned from other blogs or the experience of coming together online…”  Today, let’s do just that!!  What have you learned from other blogs – either this week or since finding the D-OC?  What has your experience of blogging the DBlog Week topics with other participants been like?  What has finding the D-OC done for you?  If you’d like, you can even look ahead and tell us what you think the future holds!

I think what I learned was more about how awesome all the other D-OC (Diabetes Online Community) members are. Seriously, I was so surprised and happy to get all the loving comments from y’all. (Especially yesterday’s!) I consider myself more of a D-OC lurker than participant, so thank you for showing me some love! It means a lot. :)

And, I feel like I need to do something about being more of a participant and less of a lurker. Because, I mean, who doesn’t need more friends… especially friends who “get” you?

Plus, you guys are totally inspirational. And informative! But more inspirational, I think. :)

Ok, that’s it. I’m joining the D-OC party!

BIG BIG thanks again to Karen, the wonderful mastermind behind Diabetes Blog Week! This week was super awesome and it wouldn’t have happened without her. She ROCKS!

And thank you to all of you who stopped by to read my posts! I hope you were able to learn a little or at least laugh a little!

Now we’ll get back to our regularly scheduled programming… :)

xoxo,

Lauren

Oh no, you aren’t a lurker – you are absolutely a D-OC participant!!!! Of course, that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to see you around the D-OC even more than you already are!! :)

Lauren,
Thanks for putting yourself out there this week. It’s great to get to know you through the DOC!

Lauren, you are so right – I too am incredibly impressed and inspired by all that I see in the DOC.

And for the record, there’s nothing “wrong” with being a lurker – but at the same time, it’s totally fun to get to know new people too. So, have fun with it, but please don’t ever let posting or writing stress you out – that defeats the purpose of it all, right?

Lotsa love!
