I’m not here today, and selfishly, I’m quite excited to be away. I’m in Nashville at the Blissdom conference! This is my first Blissdom, but I have a feeling it will not be my last. I’m attending for my job, and I’m hoping to bring back amazing information and tools to help me do my job better. I love what I do, and I love being a part of HudsonAlpha‘s mission. I can’t wait to take what I learn and use it to share the amazing research, education and science that takes place daily at the institute.
And as a bonus, the conference is in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel. If you’ve pilfered through this site much at all, then it’s clear how much I love my home state of Tennessee, Nashville in particular. This will be my first time at the hotel since the flood destroyed much of it in 2010. I can’t wait to see how beautiful it is since the remodeling and repairs. It truly is a gorgeous place, and I cannot wait to take my morning walks through the garden (although I wish my dogs could come, too.)
So if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go “get my Bliss on.” Don’t worry, I’ll squeeze in some time for my amazing middle Tennessee friends, and I wouldn’t leave town without visiting the bookstore. And who knows… maybe I’ll even find a way for a D-meetup! (which may or may not already be planned.) 😉 My D-goal this weekend is to stay within the dotted lines on my CGM (between 80-180). It will be a challenge considering I’ll be SWAGing most of the conference meals. Here’s to hoping…
