almost a week has gone by since the i heart faces conference in dallas and i am still overwhelmed with positive energy and inspiration from my amazing weekend! i learned so much from some pretty amazing ladies, and am feeling refreshed and motivated to take my business and art to the next level! and it was my first time away from my sweet little munchkins, who did so great without me that i think i need to find another fun conference to attend with my awesome girlfriend, Rachel! the first guest speaker, Kelle Hampton, had us ALL in tears pretty much immediately. i only recently discovered her blog and read her story, which is a great reminder to consider more than just one perspective and always appreciate the small things in life. i am totally lugging my big girl camera everywhere with me now. if she can do it, so can WE.
the conference was held on southfork ranch in dallas, which is where the tv drama, Dallas, was filmed.
