Well, it’s been a week since I was whisked off to Orlando, Florida to enjoy a VIP weekend at Walt Disney World’s Second Mom Blogger Mixer event. My mind is still dizzy from everything we experienced and, of course, I totally miss the first-class treatment that started with a Welcome Reception where we were served delicious martinis! OK, I’ll admit it…I happily guzzled two pomegranate martinis and would have enjoyed a third, but an amazing dinner at Jiko, an African fine-dining restaurant located at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, awaited us.

I am still cherishing the memories. Oh to have a limo whisk me off to drinks, food, merriment and fireworks. I am so glad that we helped you get over that hurdle that children placed on such a beautiful spirit.

This is a great recap. I’m so happy that you came. Isn’t it wonderful that we ALL survived high school?!

I’m so glad last weekend was healing and fun for you. You brought tears to my eyes with your post. In high school I was always picked on because people said I sounded “white”. Thank GOD high school is over!
HUGS!

Ah, yes. The “baggage” we often carry from childhood into adulthood. It can be crippling. I’m glad the weekend helped you move past it.

Your trip sounded amazing. Sounds like you had a really good time. Isn’t it nice when people except us for who we are.

What an exceptionally beautiful post you’ve written here. I’m particularly intrigued by your insecurities–we ALL had/have them, and it’s amazing how we carry that baggage with us, even when we’re grown and should know better, right? Still, those experiences shape who we are. I’m so very happy that you and our fellow “sister” bloggers found peace with one another, and had a terrific time. This is my first time on your site–and I’ve fallen instantly, hopelessly in love. I look forward to blog friendship (and I won’t hold your introverted personality against you–promise!)

That is so cool you got to go. I wanted to go so bad, but couldn’t make it. I was disqualified because my job job is at Disney. I’m glad you had fun and I found you report very interesting. thanks for sharing.
