My camera roll would probably have you believe I went to LTKCon, wore some fun clothes, took some pretty pictures and knew exactly what I was doing. That is…not exactly how it went. 😂 I went into my first LTKCon incredibly grateful, VERY excited and also pretty nervous. Before I left, I made myself a promise: don’t shrink and don’t let your nerves make you disappear. Say hello first. Walk up to people. And actually let yourself be in the rooms you were invited into. And I did. What I apparently did NOT do was remember to take pictures while I was doing it. I’m realizing I’m not very good at having a real conversation AND remembering, Wait, we need a picture! So most of the time, I chose the conversation. And I’m actually really glad I did. I got to hug people I’ve known through a screen for years, spend time with friends who understand this very weird job, meet people I’d followed forever and have conversations I wish I could somehow bottle up and bring home with me. And yes, I had more than one HOW IN THE WORLD AM I HERE? moment. But I know the answer. All of you. Every time you watch, comment, share, shop a link or simply keep showing up here, you’re part of the reason I was standing in those rooms. And that is absolutely not lost on me. I didn’t document everything. I missed pictures. The swag is STILL mostly packed. But I was there for it. Really there. And I’m incredibly grateful this little community of ours got me there. ❤️ LTKOver40 LTKstorytime LTKdayinmylife
