I hate making Kim from Emergiblog envious, but I had a great time at BlogHer DC. Kim told me that she was jealous, but that’s OK. She’s going on her own big adventure and I’m sure that she will be telling us about it soon.
BlogHer DC was held on October 13th at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, Maryland, and it was a fantastic experience. You could just feel the energy in the room. Just imagine a ballroom full of women united in their love of blogging. The best part of going to BlogHer was getting to meet up with my blog buddies. Here’s a picture of Beth Anderson AKA PixelRn with Dr. Val Jones from Getting Better with Dr. Val. I also got to hangout with my good friends Pam Meredith and Misty Turner from Nursing Spectrum magazine, and Rob Halper and Marc Monseau from Johnson and Johnson.
There’s one other thing that I’ll never forget about BlogHer DC. I got to meet a woman who made $1000 in one month on her blog. Here’s how she did it. She told her readers that she can read palms. No I’m not kidding. Readers sent her an image of their palm along with a very large check. I guess that there really is a sucker born every minute.
See you next year at BlogHer!

Wish I could have attended this event with you! I love the Bethesda area, especially Woodmont Triangle! Hope it provided many new ideas for you, Mother Jones!

Hmm, wish I could read palms, too.
*envy*
Sometime, when the little people who invaded my home leaves, I will be free to go to Blog events like BlogHer.
‘glad you had a good time!

[...] I had a blast hanging out with MJ! I taught her all about Twitter and now she’s one of the regular *medtweeps.* It was also great to see Dr. Val. She has a great new site, and I’ll be blogging about it very soon. [...]

I’m still jealous! : D
Palm reading? I’m in the wrong profession. Let’s see, what could I do to make $1000 a month from the blog….
