My first conference experience in 2011, I attended with a writer friend and had the comfort of a partner to eat meals with, sit in classes with, and generally hang out with.
This time, however, I went completely solo. But deep down I knew I'd be okay, because everyone I met treated me with kindness and acceptance. I tried to do the same, if I saw someone standing alone, knowing how intimidating that could be. The result was a wonderful spirit of camaraderie, encouragement and prayer.
