Three bloggers, from three different states, north, south and mid-west came together for a magical evening of love and laughter…
*****
When Zully, Spiritual World Traveler and I found out that Tahira from Tahira’s Shenanigans was coming home to the US from Saudi Arabia for a couple of weeks in April, we just knew we had to find a way to meet.
How did we make this evening happen? How do you make the leap from casual on-line acquaintances who comment on each other’s blogs from around the world, to making a dinner reservation for three?
First we became blogging friends. Then we became Facebook friends. One Facebook post led to another. I saw that Tahira planned to come home, which just happens to be the city that I travel to for work monthly. Happy coincidence! I private messaged her to ask if she would like to meet for dinner. She said, “Yes!”.
Next came the scheming part… Having just completed a collaborative post with Zully as Guest bloggers for Tahira, I couldn’t imagine doing dinner without Zully being there too!
I asked Zully if she could arrange her schedule to also fly in to join us. Together we decided to surprise Tahira, who originally thought it would be just me. I picked up Zully at the airport, we arrived a bit early to the lovely Italian restaurant where we had made the reservation, and….Ta-Dahhh! Tahira arrived. The surprise played out perfectly!!!
Wish I had a picture of her face at that moment!! 😉
We had a lovely evening, with plenty to talk about (too much to say, too little time), many similarities and most importantly, we LIKED each other in person too!
A bit nerve-wracking leading up to the date, wondering if we would just sit around and have nothing to say…However, I was fairly certain that wouldn’t happen!
I know our mutual friendship will deepen and continue to grow. Tahira has returned back to The Kingdom and her Shenanigans. Zully has returned to being a World Traveler who is Spiritual and A Traveler of the Spiritual World. And I have returned to just Being Rufina…;)
I hope that other bloggers are as fortunate as we have been in making your paths cross in person. Like minds, kindred spirits, whatever you want to call them, it sure is wonderful when you find each other.
