People in business usually know others in the same line. Most have met at least a few colleagues in person. But since I have never met another real live virtual assistant, I was excited to do a meetup this weekend.

It was a tiny group. Just myself, the intrepid Sheena Cooper, and the so-smart-it’s scary AnnaLisa Michaelski. Sheena is based in Richmond, AnnaLisa in Portsmouth, and I was the lone out-of-stater, coming from NC.

Mary,
How fun that you got to meet up with these two other VAs! Hamid and I just hosted a small dinner here in Seattle, where we're spending a relaxing holiday, for two other VAs/VAF members. I got to meet Jodith and Kathya - and what a great conversation we all had We had anticipated a bigger group but it was really nice just the four of us - we sat outside enjoying a bit of wine and Thai food and talked about everything from marketing to the Law of Attraction. It was great fun!
