Defining Moments

THE day i bought my ticket.

Shit just got real ya’ll!

I’m going to BlogHer15 in NYC in July.

It’s official and it’s happening! Hotel booked, plane tickets bought happening!

And I’m scared shitless. Throat gone dry, what the hell have I done shitless.

I’m nervous as hell because this is my first blogger conference and even though I take my blog seriously…attending this conference is a whole other level of serious.

I’ve been doing my research on what serious bloggers take to conferences…it’s a lot and I don’t even have business cards yet. I’m just figuring out what a media kit is and if I need one? And the biggie…something I’ve been considering for months: Moving from .wordpress.com to just .com…am I ready now??? So many decisions.

But I’m excited! Because this step is definitely out of my comfort zone and I’m ready.

I’m ready for all the things that have been set in motion by this decision. I’m ready to represent my little patch of internet. I’m ready to hopefully meet one or two of my favourite bloggers *fingers crossed I work up the courage to say Hi* and I’m definitely looking forward to connecting with other bloggers like myself. Newbies attending their first conference, just a little nervous but so ready to take this leap of faith!

If BlogHer 15 is your first blogger conference as well and you feel like me, a little daunted but oh so ready for this adventure, please say “Hi” in the comments!

I’m totally down for meeting a fellow newbie!

      I’m trying to keep that in mind. That it’s okay to not have it all together! Thanks for the encouragement!

    I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time and meet a bunch of interesting people. I look forward to your posts on the event as I’ve never attended a blogging conference myself.
