It's also a very compassionate article, recognizing that it isn't easy -- even for people who aren't necessarily super shy -- to step out of their comfort zone and meet new people. Somehow, it always seems easier for other people, but that's not necessarily true at all -- it just looks that way. Your article also is a wonderful reminder for those of us who now feel more comfortable at conferences because we know more people (it wasn't always that way!) to remember to reach out and welcome new folks into our circles.

Even though I'm sure all of you fabulous Twitter-brarians are just as lovely in-person, it's still a bit intimidating to actually come up and speak with you all! It's nice to know I'm not completely alone in my mindset though and I'm going to try to follow your advice while I'm at Midwinter. :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698943042316408201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-89030450889726711792014-10-08T15:06:09.380-05:002014-10-08T15:06:09.380-05:00Wise words!Wise words!Marge Loch-Woutershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09299355611398291374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-32337323604339935872014-10-08T12:28:46.005-05:002014-10-08T12:28:46.005-05:00Thank you for the great advice.
