Amber, you have no idea how much I loved hanging out with you at Social Media Camp. Definitely highlight of my 2011. Great to see you again at Blogworld too. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Was so fabulous to finally meet you in person this year, Yukari. Thanks for having us in Victoria, and I'm hopeful that 2012 gives us many more reasons to visit and hang out!

I'd do just about anything for you. After all, you schlepped tequila across international borders! ;)

Jay, I didn't write this in the post (because it was getting too long!), but I truly appreciate your support and friendship. I was really touched when we asked you for a Birthday video comment for Getting Engaged you were the first to film and send it to us. And I know how busy you are. (60+ overnight trips?!) No wonder you are the leader in this community...you walk the talk. Very best wishes for a prosperous 2012 to you!

So great getting to see you last year. Twice! I hope we get to do it again this year. I'm always happy when I'm around you. Thanks for that!

I agree. That was the best part! :)

Thanks Melany. I love that TED talk!

You said it - yes, we need to be proactive. It's my mantra now...

I felt the same way too....I was just "waiting" for things to come my way, but yeah, apparently that's not the case! :) So awesome to see you :)

I know Jen! SO great to see you. :)

Hear hear! These are important points you raise. Often in the nonprofit world we hear too, "I'm JUST a volunteer." Blech, that makes me cringe! I too, believe that we need to support each other, raise each other up, increase each other's confidence, not let others get away with saying "I'm just a..." anything. We need to tell other women how amazing they are. And then we need to tell ourselves the same thing.

That demonstration at the end of the transmedia session was the best part. That only one woman in the room had the guts to go up there and grab what she wanted, well, we all know what that says about us. That was absolutely a big takeaway for me - to get going on what I really want!

Yes! Things happen by doing. Totally took that message away too. I was also impressed with the woman who took the $20 from Tara. Great message (as is Sheryl's TEDtalk - I've watched that video quite a few times).

Loved this post - thanks for writing it Yukari! Always a great reminder to be proactive about the things you want, and want to have happen - I do believe luck is simply hard work meeting opportunity : )

I'm with you Tanis. That reality struck me harder than anything else this weekend. I have to step out of my comfort zone.

SeeMummyJuggle — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:27:32 -0000

Yukari, I couldn't agree with you more. One of the things I learned for certain was that I need to ask for the things I want. Apparently, stuff isn't just going to fall into my lap. WTF? ;)

I`m glad we were at least able to say hi once or twice. Next year we`ll have to spend more time together.

Yukari Peerless — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 22:32:07 -0000

Thanks Tanis! It didn't even occur to me to get up and grab the $20....I need to do some work too.

Re: Three things I learned at Blissdom Canada 2011

Yukari Peerless — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 22:31:10 -0000

So great to see you too. I've been thinking about you, but sorry we didn't get to have heart-to-heart....but please know I'm always happy to hear from you!

Thanks Shannon. Hmm just wondering what you meant to say there in Japanese...? You didn't understand the story? :)

redneckmommy — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 22:18:01 -0000

I would never have grabbed that 20. Which says a lot about who I am and the work I need to do. I'd better get on it. Great recap!

It was so nice to see you again Yukari and I wished now that I got up and talked to people I wanted to.
