At the weekend I am off to The Hive – the European Blog Conference in Berlin.

This time last year I was just starting out blogging seriously with Expat Mummy in Berlin, when I attended the first ever The Hive in Berlin. I was little shy about my blog at the time and perhaps didn’t actively meet as many people as I could have (I hate the word networking but that’s what I am talking about). I did however feel very energized, inspired and motivated by the speakers and meeting other bloggers there. There are a number of women I met here that I am impressed to see how successful they have become in a year, which as inspires and motivates me even more.

Looking at the updates via Twitter and Facebook from Peggy and Yvonne, the organisers of the event, I think its going to be something special.

This year I am in a different and better place with my confidence about being ‘a blogger’ and I am excited to get out there and meet new people, reconnect with people I met last year, be inspired (that word keeps coming up), motivated and, most of all, have a lot of fun!
