I did it! I conquered Bloggy Boot Camp!
Posted by Cheryl on Monday Mar 8, 2010 Under Uncategorized
I am in a place. A very good place.
I just got back from Bloggy Boot Camp in Baltimore.
I have been writing and thinking a lot lately about where I belong, what do I want to do, who am I? I am sure my friends and the few other random readers I have are sick of hearing it. And so am I.
I feel like me.
Finally.
As I sat and listened to @SITSGirls @mamakatslosinit @ScaryMommy @ResourcefulMom I kept hearing in my head…it is about me. I make the decisions, I make my choices. I don’t owe everyone explanations. I am me, and I can do things the way I want to. I can and should love and have fun in what I am doing. No, they didn’t say those exact words. But that is what I felt and heard. And it is what I completely needed to hear.
@Feelslikehome explained SEO and I actually understood it …which is a miracle! And @justicefergie gave us the low down on the FTC guidelines.
I got to meet some amazing women. In person.

I had no idea what to expect from Bloggy Boot Camp. I had never been to a conference before. And I am shy. When I realized we were going to be moving around and sitting at different tables, I almost ran out of the room. No, really, I totally thought about faking sick and going and hanging out in my room. But I didn’t. I am so thankful that I didn’t. If it wasn’t set up that way I know I would have just sat in the back of the room, and watched everyone else hang out. So…THANK YOU!
I sat with a fabulous group of women at lunch. I loved hearing about what each of them do, and about their lives. We were all so different, but we all got it. There was such a positive vibe, that even though I normally wouldn’t have talked much, and was kinda thrown for a loop with a question, I talked about myself. A lot actually. Might have scared some people, but hey. That was huge for me. I left that lunch knowing I had conquered something big.
Thank you @SITSGirls. I went to learn about blogging. But I learned so much more.
I came out of this experience a better person than when I went in.
Please check out some of the AMAZING women I met this weekend!
If you are thinking of visiting Baltimore, I totally recommend Pier 5 Hotel Beautiful, great location, and the people could not be any nicer!
