“You Have A Great Life”

I do. Me. I have a great life. I am en route back from BlogHer in San Jose, sitting in a comfy leather chair with this glorious wif, next to a woman I did not meet at the conference, but on the plane out of San Jose.

Karen Walrond is a blogger, writer, mother, wife, islander, just to name a few of her roles, talents and identities in life. We started talking on the plane from minute one and haven’t stopped. In learning about her life and experiences I have gained. I win. And in just relaying a few details of my life, my past, my job, my family and friends, Karen genuinely turned to me and said with passion, “You have a great life. You have a great life!”

I do. I am fortunate. I am happy. I am healthy. My family and friends are healthy. What more do I need? What more does anyone need?

I have met a lot of inpsirational women and men this past week-end and I will be sure to write about the conversations and experiences soon enough. I met a ton of wonderful women and had a lot of fun along the way. I just didn’t want to let this opportunity slip by without a quick documentation.
(Oh, and there’s Wifi – thank-you Portland!)

Can’t wait to get home to Vangroovy… I am a-comin’!
