You define online hospitality.<br /><br />As to a group of strangers at a cocktail party -- I too am discomfited by the scene and so walk in and ask myself, 'who can I help feel a little more comfortable' and find the person standing alone and make a point of introducing myself to them. That way, both of us have someone to talk to. :)<br /><br />And as to my mention in this list -- thank you. I was surprised and honoured to see myself mentioned in this way. You touched my heart. A very hospitable thing to do my friend!Louise Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522775693728655487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-31728136748816168832011-08-11T07:29:10.866-05:002011-08-11T07:29:10.866-05:00Loved this!

You are the first to retweet, and I'm pretty sure I "heard" you say that you read (or at least) skim every post you post. You pour love all over the blogosphere with your encouraging comments, and my life is richer (and maybe my writing better) because of you. You are not a stranger. You are a friend. To many.Sandra Heska Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770393615748405966noreply@blogger.com
