BlissDom ’11 from Blissful Media Group on Vimeo.
Why Blissdom? Because of everything you see in those images and that video and more.
Because after months and years online, to hug, hold hands with, laugh with, cry with and share experiences with the people whose hearts you’ve come to know so well – you’ll never ask why again.
I’m thrilled to be attending Blissdom for the FOURTH year in a row and excited to be a Food Community Leader again. You can find me squee’ing – y’all-ing, laughing, hugging, talking and eating all over the Opryland hotel
If you want to find me during the sessions
I’m stoked to announce that I’m a Community Leader during Friday Morning’s Shoot Like A Woman session with the amazing Me Ra Koh – Saturday Morning’s Storytelling Photography Session with the wonderful Diane Cu and Saturday’s Life Development Session Stop Monetizing Joy with the incomparable Alli Worthington and the adorable and brilliant Erin Loechner . I can’t wait to learn, share, grow, develop, laugh and be mesmerized with y’all!!!!
all images by me from Blissdom 2009 – 2010 and 2011 (except the video)






























I love the pictures and the memories associated with them
So glad to be sharing a third year with you and so many other Blissdom friends!!

Good times, great friends, and the best onion rings to ever grace this earth. I can’t wait to do it all again (let’s for the sake of argument assume that they brought the onion rings back after we lamented in such dramatic fashion when we found out they no longer served them).

Paula´s most recent brilliance ..eyelash growth
It’s absolutely not invite open
It’s open to anyone and everyone who wants to attend – you just have to buy a ticket when they go on sale and get it before they sell out!
Read your reply to Paula, I am glad to hear theit’s open to anyone and all we have to do is buy a ticket when they go on sale.
