The last two months have been NUTS and I can’t believe Fall is already right around the corner! CRAZY! Things are finally slowing down and I’m excited to get back to Fitarella and connecting with all of you. I truly want to say THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, for all of your support throughout the whole Oprah contest experience. Words simply can not express how grateful I am for all of the love I received.
By now, most of you know that I ended up with over 9 million verified votes, making me the #1 vote getter for the online contest. I was in shock when I found out. I mean, hard core jaw-to-the-floor shock. Who woulda thunk it?! But this win wasn’t just my win, it was OUR win. It was a strong statement that we want more than just salacious, violent or negative programming on television. We want real life stories of positivity, joy, triumph and inspiration. GO US!
So now, its back to life as usual, sans voting frenzy. I know you’re all wondering about the contest and what’s next? Well…you’ll just have to wait and see 
I know, I know, its a sucky answer, but it’s the only one I’ve got for you right now. In the mean time stay positive & stay tuned!
This weekend I will be attending my first BlogHer Conference and I am super excited! BlogHer brings bloggers (mostly ladies) together from all over for rich discussions, learning, networking and opportunities to meet with brands. And this year the conference is being held in my home town of New York City (WOOHOO!) so I get to connect with family & friends as well. PARRRRTAAAAAY! I will be updating along the way with lots of tweets, posts and pics so be sure to check in! Wait until you see the FABULOUS collection of heels I’m bringing! H-O-T! Yes, I know heels are not conducive to conference comfort, but I will not give up three things: heels, coffee, and lip gloss. So I will suffer in silence and bring lots of band-aids.
