If you have been following me for a while, then you will know I love attending conferences—mostly nutrition and public health related. Well, during the pandemic everything changed. Conferences were either canceled or forced to go virtual. Although virtual was a great alternative, it was not the same. I missed physically being in the same rooms with my colleagues. I missed catching up with old friends. I missed meeting and networking with new people.
Even though this will not be my first in-person conference since everything returned to somewhat normal, it is the first one I have felt like myself again. The year before last, I was still trying to get used to the entrepreneurial world. Although I had been consulting on the side for years, I was not very confident or comfortable representing myself or my business without being affiliated with some other entity. I was out there on my own. Y’all, I even received an award that year (because I was actually putting in the work as an entrepreneur), but couldn’t fully accept it because I had not fully accepted the space I was in—if that makes sense. Then last year I was a speaker on a panel but didn’t attend the rest of conference because Momma was sick. So, this year is the first year I truly feel like myself. I already have plans to connect with a few people. I’m excited!
Y’all, it feels so good to be back and…better!!! I can’t wait to see everyone!
Hoping you’re having a wonderful day as well.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
