BlogHer16 is over, and I’m already having withdrawals.  It was really one of the most exceptional conferences I’ve ever attended.  I fell like I’ve finally found my tribe: women and men who are passionate about using the power of the Internet for social change, self-expression, creativity, and meeting other like-minded folks.  I highly recommend checking into BlogHer17 (couldn’t find out where it will be, I suspect the location hasn’t yet been been determined).  And if you ever see me there, come up and say hi, make me k’vitsh! (scream).

I’d like to thank SheKnows Media for putting on the conference, and all the sponsors and staff involved, they did a beautiful job.  Visit the sponsors list to find out more.  Four sponsors stand out:  Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (they recently took all the artificial ingredients out of this kitchen staple); Garden of Life (delicious high protein shakes, yum), Dove Soap (love their #MyBeautyMySay positive women in media campaign, love their soaps, too); and the new Good Behavior TV show from TNT coming this Fall (such cool T Shirts were handed out, you could choose either good or bad).

Now back to real, everyday life, whatever the heck that is.
