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!!!!

Buy African - Heya just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not
sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
