BlogHer - Part One

I am going to do a three part series to detail my adventures in BlogHer

Part One:

Where to begin?

This post is not going to highlight stories of my adventures here at BlogHer.
This post is not going to share one photo of all the awesome bloggy friends I have met in person.
That post is coming. Soon.

What I wanted this post to say, very simply is if you did not get to attend BlogHer this year, make sure you do what you can to get there next year.

It is that worth it.

I mentioned in my Crossroads post how my blog has become such an important piece of me. Being here at BlogHer just reaffirmed that blogging is a HUGE part of me.  My words will not do justice how being here makes me feel like I am apart of a force.  Yes, a force.  

Sharing this adventure with the bloggers I flew out here to meet has only enhanced this entire experience.  When I take a step back and realize that I am actually spending time with such amazing women and men bloggers it literally makes me shake my head in astonishment.  

Why?

Because these people are my friends.  Real friends.  They are not a 10x10 avatar.  They are not just a comment box.  They are real genuine people.  Hearing their stories, their journeys, their voice in person is something I will carry with me and treasure.

So I promise to share the stories of how I witnessed Mr. Lady bring an entire ballroom filled with every type of blogger to their feet with a standing ovation with tears in their eyes.  Or how I had the pleasure of shaking my ass with some of the sexiest bloggers in blogland.  I will share the amazing pictures of all the blogging superstars I got to hang out with all weekend.

But for now, this post has a simple message:

If you can get to BlogHer next year.  Do it.  You will not be disappointed.

I cannot wait until next year. I'm going to hug you first and then hand you a drink. With a little umbrella in it. Then take a photo and plaster it everywhere with a caption, "Mommybloggers gone wild."

Maybe we can get the powers that be to have the next BlogHer convention here in Florida. I look forward to your next posts.

Thanks for the update and it sounds like you are in the perfect place. Maybe Insane Mama and I will try to go next year. We would really get that party started.
