Video chat with Epilepsy bloggers

This week Living Well With Epilepsy hosted a Google+ Hangout with some amazing people.  The video chat gave me the chance to talk face-to-face with other folks actively involved in getting the word out about epilepsy.

From across the country
The group consisted of bloggers, artists, people with epilepsy, parents, writers, videographers, and photographers. The conversation was made even more interesting by the fact that we came from all over the country including: New Jersey, Indiana, Kentucky, Colorado, Texas and California.

One common thread
We quickly found that our epilepsy experience was as varied our blogging and social media experience. However, we shared a common interest in getting the word out.

As the discussion progressed everyone seemed to relax and have a good time. That’s when the great ideas started to fly back and forth.

Thanks to all
