I never really intended to be a "blogger", but as 2016 began it was brought to my attention that I desired to do more as a writer which caused me to work more diligently on my blog. 

It's been three weeks since I stepped out and attended my first blogging conference and left my family for more than a day.  I am so happy that I took the plunge and did something that I once only dreamed of doing. I remember when I first started blogging in 2009 there were quite a few popular conferences like Blogher and Blogalicious, and hundreds of women were sharing all over the place gems that they gained from the workshops.
