Blissdom ‘10 Recap

by Melissa on February 8, 2010

in Blogging

As I sit in the Nashville airport, I am able to reflect on my time at Blissdom ‘10, SavvyBlogging, and all the amazing relationships that developed. The last few days have been a whirlwind, but such a learning experience. I leave feeling inspired, empowered, and humbled by what I have learned.

Although I have been to several different conferences for work over the years, this was my first blog conference, and the first time I have been surrounded by so many women that understand the daily life and love of a blogger. Yes, it was a bit overwhelming, but exciting at the same time. We brought our laptops, flips, cell phones, pokens, and more,  prepared to network, tweet, blog, and skype IMG_0190together. And amazingly, we didn’t break the network!

I enjoyed meeting some of my favorite bloggers, traveling to such a fun city, and staying in a gorgeous hotel (if you ever get a chance to check out the Opryland Hotel, I recommend it!).  I have so many people to thank, so I apologize if I forget to mention everyone, but I want to say thank you to the following people who made this trip special:

Hopefully I’ll get some more pictures for all of you later, so I’ll probably have a “Recap 2”, but I really wanted to thank everyone and let you all know that I’m back.

PS. I am home now (wrote this last night), and it is so wonderful to with my boys again and the sunshine! Actually, I think the sun was starting to come out while we were pulling away from the airport in Nashville.

Hi Melissa! I’m glad to hear you made it back safely to AZ and the gray weather didn’t follow you — I can’t seem to avoid it. Anyways, I just wanted to drop a quick note to say it was great to meet you at the Savvy Blogging Dinner. I look forward to staying in touch!

Great to hear from you, Andy and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Funny- the gray weather did find me today! It is raining off and on, but at least it isn’t snowing, like a lot of the country!
