New connections, new people to learn from
Posted on | February 21, 2010 | 2 Comments
I was able to connect with so many interesting and SMART women at Mom 2.0 Summit this weekend. I discovered people who focus on health, nutrition, early childhood education, organization, scrap booking, money, breast cancer survival, and photography among many other subjects.
Stay in present moment
One of the first ideas that really caught my attention was something Elizabeth Irvine said, “Stay in present moment. Set Your intention. Dedicate your energy.” I have tried to practice the Zen teaching of living in the moment on several occasions. Recently I have become overwhelmed with so much going online and offline. I need to remember to live with intention and appreciate the moment I am in right then. Must. Slow. Down. I’m not Wonder Woman!
Photography
One of my passions is photography and I was so get to spend time at the Mom 2.0: Defining a Movement Art Exhibit at FotoFest. Tracey Clark and the Shutter Sisters did a fantastic job choosing photos that just really moved me and inspired me to spend more time with my camera and the things I love.
I had a chance to talk with Kristen Skarbovig about FotoFest’s Literacy Through Photography program where teachers give students camera to take photos then the children write about thier photographs. I was very impressed by the program and hope it can spread outside of Houston.
I would also like to give a shout out to an Austin, Texas based photographer Kristen Roedner who took photos throughout the event. I came home and checked out her work and boy am I envious of her talent! Gorgeous photos of children and families. You can find her at faux-toes.com, clever right?
Speaking of photos, here’s my flickr photo set of Mom 2.0 Summit.
More to come tommorrow
I discovered new bloggers, was a bit star struck by some famous women of the internet, and also discovered some great products, but that will wait until the next post.
