Relevant is so much more than a blogging conference: it’s a retreat, a meeting of like minds, a gathering of kindred hearts. I came expecting much, having experienced so much more than I had hoped for at last year’s Relevant Conference, and I left with my expectations not only met but exceeded.
I wouldn’t say that I learned many new things; it’s more accurate to say that what I already knew was crystallized. Half-thoughts floating around in my mind were acknowledged, recognized, categorized, filed, and given purpose and intent.
Perhaps because it’s something that’s been on my mind anyway recently, or perhaps because the speakers were intent upon it, but I heard much spoken of “purpose” and “passion” this weekend. Tsh Oxenreider (the Simple Mom) spoke of being in your “element”, the place where your skills and passion collide. Those words instantly struck a chord within me, because, like her, blogging is my “element”.
Many, many other wise and wonderful things were said, and I could talk your ears off all day long with the information I gained, the amazing women that I met, the friendships that were forged, and the fun I had, but I’ll just leave it at that. Blogging is my element. I love this job!
PS. I didn’t take a lot of pictures, but spend a few minutes to browse through my virtual scrapbook below!
