Yesterday I went off to a conference that was billed to be for Bloggers in Health. Of course my “professional glasses” read that to mean that is was for the health care sector and health care professionals. Given that my new role as CEO at MSA (one of my lives) is utilising much of SoMe, it made sense to attend. Of course, I am very smitten with the SoMe use for Plough Creek Homestead and the Cooking School (another of my lives). My Consulting work around SoMe use by health professionals is quietly percolating along (the 3rd life) and Facebook keeps me connected everywhere ……. So really it was a no brainer that I should attend. Well how foggy my “glasses” actually were and how clever Kathie Melocco obviously is.
A program that interwove, health and wellbeing, with health care and health professionals, food and nutrition, blogging and social media, lifestyle and real people with real stories, is quite an accomplishment. After nearly four decades of attendances at conferences, meetings, networking events, seminars, workshops (and being responsible for organising and delivering many of them along the way), it is so refreshing to be blown away by a one day event that combined all the things I am so into. What a well-paced and inspiring day. It moved quickly – that appeals to the attention deficit tendencies I have. I met amazing people; which of course is always so stimulating to me – I always love copious amounts of social intercourse. Heard amazing stories told in so many ways and by incredible story tellers & that enthralled a story teller like me -who is known to spin a yarn that extra foot or two! Met people who are really into the food/life/travel and shared table experience which is the philosophy we are building PCH on. Felt the range of emotions from belly laughter, to palpable despair, to uplifting hope, tissue reaching sadness and pure pleasure as a flash crowd stood and did an amazing rendition of “Oh happy days”. I learnt heaps, felt much and reflected plenty. Gotta love a day that stretches you in all directions!
FAR OUT & FUNKY – what a great day!! Healthivate – well done and really looking forward to next year’s event ….DC
