The Power of Bliss

It’s been 2 days since I’ve come back from Bliss­dom and I still can’t get my mind wrapped around every­thing that I got out of this con­fer­ence. {The power vibe is strong with this young Padawan.}

But this is what I do know:

~These women are strong and bold. I’ve never seen so many cojones in a room full of women!

~These women are givers. They want to help oth­ers suc­ceed. I’m sure there were a few that did not fit this descrip­tion but as a whole? Amaz­ing givers.

~They’re not strangers. I came to this con­fer­ence not know­ing a soul. I fol­lowed a lot of them on Twit­ter and read their blogs, but have never met them. Thirty min­utes into it, I was fam­ily. Seri­ously. And by the end of the 1st day I couldn’t walk down a hall­way with­out hear­ing some­one sing, “867‑5309″. I belonged. And there isn’t a feel­ing much stronger than that.

Bliss­dom did every­thing that it promised to do. They (with their spon­sors) took care of my fam­ily so I didn’t have to worry about them while I was there. Then they pam­pered the hey-hoo out me while they were feed­ing me with so much infor­ma­tion my head hurt. And the net­work­ing! Amaz­ing.

    Hi Jenny,

    Wasn’t Bliss­dom the great­est?!!! It was so fun meet­ing you and get­ting to spend so much time with you. It was awe­some to hear your sto­ries and to see your big heart. Sorry we didn’t get a chance to say bye.
