…and you’re halfway there.
This past weekend we, along with over 500 of our closest friends , attended the SNAP conference in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah.
And we wished there was some way to have packed you all up and brought you along with us. Imagine what the over-sized luggage fee would have been for that! š
Because, well, you see it was amazing.
Not only did we get to spend time with some of our most favorite people in the whole wide world…
…and rock out at an 80’s themed dance party…
But it was also an absolute honor and privilege to be apart of two incredible speaking teams.
And while it may have seemed that on the surface what we shared had mostly to do with blogging, the truth was that there was a common theme throughout the entire conference.
That theme was YOU.
You. The woman who is dreaming.
Dreaming of trying something new.
Dreaming of answering a call.
Dreaming of turning a hobby into a business.
Dreaming of wanting to remember how to dream.
We found ourselves surrounded by over 500 women who are all pursuing their dreams. And there is an energy, a truly palpable energy, when that many dreamers are gathered together in one place at one time.
There we were, 500 women from all around the world (literally the WORLD). We were all so very different and yet all so very much the same.
Because we are all dreamers.
And what we’ve come to realize over the course of these last few years as we pursue our own dreams is that often the biggest hurdle we have to get over is…well…ourselves.
Our doubts.
Our fears.
Our insecurities.
‘Believing’ seems like such a simple thing to do, doesn’t it?
But getting out of our own way can truly be the hardest part of pursuing our dreams.
So, we suppose, what we really want you to know is that…well…we get it. Truly, we do.
But, let’s make a deal. Right here, right now.
We’re going to start believing that we can.
And we want you to start believing that YOU can too!
Want to start believing together?
Let’s claim this moment.
On this day, April 28, 2014 we’re going to believe that we can…which means we’re already halfway there!
Thank you for the motivation! I’m super pumped yup for the day ahead of me!
You go girl!!!!!! I love this post. So true and that is exactly what I took away from the conference, too! You are amazing!
Happy day!

You girls rock! Thanks for sharing a bit of SNAP with us! I so wish I could have been there! My dream is what keeps me going (and inspiring posts like this one are like a boost of energy)! This was just what I needed this Monday morning!

Found this so inspirational and motivating.
Great post and it looks like such a great time to connect and enjoy and learn.
Happy the conference went well! Very inspiring!
Love this. Love you both. It was so amazing to meet you both in person!! xoxo
See so many familiar faces…Glad you all had a magnificent time!!!
I really needed this today Vanessa! Thank you:)
Well it makes my day hearing that Debbie!
It was so great to meet you at your storytelling class! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be the most inspirational and helpful class (and HILARIOUS) of the whole conference. Thanks for everything! <3
I double puffy heart love both of you. That is all.
Being able to connect with new friends and reconnect with friends like you was part of what made SNAP so awesome. And yes, I believe…
You two are darling! I love this and your take on “Believe in YOU”. You may have motivated me to start writing my SNAP post right now! I enjoyed your class so much and it really inspired me and I know it will help me to be a better blogger. I was able to talk to KariAnne and Vivienne before the class but missed you. I hope you got my little swag from inkhappi that was “mint” for you hah. Thanks for the inspiration! ~ Jillene
Remember that one time you came all of the way to Utah to support your friend and attend a conference you didn’t know all THAT much about? I do and I won’t ever forget it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful message! xoxo
This looks like it was so amazing!
You two are amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for the inspiration, ladies! Just when I needed it most! xo
Thank you both SO MUCH for this perfect post. I needed to read it and I definitely need to get out my own way. I have a new blog and a dream of a small business. However, I often say, “I can’t do this”, “I’m not talented”, “I already have a full time job” . . . instead of saying and believing that with God all things are possible. I’m recharged and ready to go!
Thank you for sharing and I accept the challenge of believing that I can!
Ladies! Meeting you and your ever so kind spirited souls was a highlight for me. You empower(ed) me in so many ways. Thank you for your kindness, encouragement and hugs. Hoping to see you at Haven! Hugs and Kisses. #thatsall
Love this post! And, you two look amazing!
I am a California girl. Where would there be one of these close to me? I really would like to start a blog but am looking for beginners tips..
Thank you. š

Thanks so much for the inspiration! <3
Ok first of all you ladies look great and I love the scrunchy on the wrist for the 80’s party. Our plan is to make it to snap next year, as this year I was out of the country. Looked like a great time had by all. Now this is getting me excited for Haven.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied
on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos
to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
