Whew! Recovering from the spectacular BlogHer 2011 Conference in San Diego. Re-energizing today. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend! My Blog Post “Sunday Snippets” is a collection of interesting items including quotes, blogs, articles relevant to entrepreneurs and business owners and other fun nuggets I ran across during the week that I think are worth sharing. I don’t go into detail on any of them but encourage you to check them out if they sound interesting. Hope you’re having a great Sunday! xo Michele

I attended BlogHer 2011 this week in San Diego. 3000+ women bloggers (and a sprinkling of men bloggers!), as well as experts and representatives from media, PR and Social Media agencies, corporations who want to work with bloggers, and other fascinating people attended. I met spectacular women including well-known Success Coach and Blogger Liz Strauss who publishes a great blog  I follow. A re-cap of the BlogHer 2011 sessions can be found at this link.
