Fitbloggin‘ was amazing. I really don’t know where to start in recapping it all. I will say that I learned a lot and met so many amazing people. Rather than write about what I learned, I plan on showing it all to you on the old blog and you can read some great recaps others have written.

I’ve been inspired to majorly revive this space. For a long time, I’ve thought I didn’t really have anything to say or have any value to add. Julie wrote about the same feelings this morning. I’m not an expert in anything. I’m a slow runner. I should eat better foods. My social life is kinda lame these days with school. I am still trying to learn how to use my camera. Where do I fit in?

I’m working on not letting negative thoughts hold me back. Time to use my little space of the internets to improve myself and accept my faults. Maybe I’ll even find the courage to write about personal things and triumphs I don’t typically talk about (vague, I know), but Fitbloggin’ showed me that people do want to hear about my experiences and I can make an impact. Cheesy, but true.

I’ve been to blog conferences before, but none of them have inspired me like this one has. Major props to Roni for planning such a wonderful conference. I cannot wait until next year!

Fitbloggin’ peeps, I can’t wait to add you all to my reader and visit your blogs. I’ve been doing some major deleting in Google Reader and will be going on an adding/commenting spree this weekend.

I have lots of things I want to talk about, so writing an editorial calendar is on my to-do list. Stay tuned for some DIY, container gardening, fitness, cooking and whatever mess I get myself into goodness from this girl.

I’m in the suburbs of Maryland tonight, spending the night with a friend from college before I head into Baltimore tomorrow morning for Fitbloggin.

Here’s a recent pic of me. The dog stayed at home and I miss him!

I’m shy, so please say hello! I can’t wait to meet everyone.
