My Facebook friends list could be divided loosely into three groups: my relatives, my local friends (here and where I grew up), and my blogging friends. The people I’ve met through my blogs have become some of my very closest friends. First it was the community that developed through what is now Kindred Grace, and then it was the mommy friends I met through my blog and the Allume blogging conference. Now they’ve all delightfully merged and blended so that my Allume friends are reading and writing for Kindred Grace, and I’m discovering friends practically next door that not only read my blog but write their own blogs!

I cherish the community that is found within the blogosphere, but it’s not always something that just happens. And today I’m over at the Allume blog talking about Fostering Community on Contributor Blogs…  If you like to write or blog, the Allume community is one you’ll want to come be a part of!
