Meeting you on the last day of the conference solidified my dream and helped me to open my heart to it's fullest! I have done this with the support and encouragement of some pretty darn amazing women, you included. Although our encounter was brief, it strongly moved me. It's quite strange. Achieving one's dreams is so easy; yet so hard! For me, discovering what my dream and true purpose are seemed to be the hardest part of this journey. I now realize it was the journey itself I was meant to travel so that I could discover my dream and purpose. Add a ton of tenacity, faith and good, true, authentic friends and you get one heck of a journey. I have traveled my share of valleys (and still do); but I have learned to enjoy those valleys as they are absolutely part of my journey! Right back atcha DeDe. I am full of gratitude for our brief encounter in Dallas and proud and happy to know you as well! Thank you so much DeDe!

It is truly inspiring! I couldn't be happier for you and the women whose lives you touched at the conference. How lucky we all are.

This year, I told myself that I would take more time out to process and think. Well, that did not happen. That would be like taking your kids to Disneyland and telling them they had to sit in the car for a few hours to digest all that they had seen. The conference has an energy off of its own, stemming from the sum total of all the amazing people and energy that collect there. It is like when you were a kid and got picked for a team, but this time everyone gets picked. There is a solidarity that is evident, and the "service first" attitude is obvious. The conference and the women who I have met who genuinely believe and care about me, are the very reason that I love what I do, and I will be there again next year, either on stage making you laugh or in a seat, but I will be there. Camilla will you take me shopping again at Nordstroms? Well, even though I had to keep my dirty, little secret about my surprise performance on Saturday morning, I loved every moment of it.

When you show up you have the opportunity to make connections. When you show up with positive intentions you have the opportunity to allow the universe to help you connect with your desires and make your dreams come true! The best part of going to the Dallas conference for me was having the opportunity to have time to be able to get to know the FABULOUS gals from our own chapter in Reno. So many times we are looking for experts outside because we know that experts carry a briefcase and live at least 50 miles away...LOL...when in reality... we have acres of diamonds of experts right here in our own backyard! My intention is to help showcase the dynamic group of women we have right here in Reno! May we all show up and sparkle and shine, shine, shine!!!! I have to agree with Camilla!

This was my 5th eWomenNetwork conference, and although I wasn't sure a few months ago that I'd be attending, I'm so glad I did. Like Camilla said, it's about showing up. I found out that at least 7 women in our chapter alone (including yours truly) are currently working on writing books, and so I gathered them around to discuss creating our own chapter's writer's club. This will be our accountability group, pushing each other, with love, to keep our books on track and hopefully attend next year's conference with our completed books in hand and for sale. I also met some of the most amazing women both at the conference and in Dallas in general that have spoken of future exciting collaborations together. I love attending this conference and would encourage anyone looking to find out about the power of collaborating with other amazing women to do so as well. Hope to see you in 2011!
