<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I&#39;m on a plane on the way home from the <a href="http://www.mightysummit.com/" target="_blank">Mighty Summit</a>. I didn&#39;t sleep last night (literally...I was up at 4:30 am) so this will be short. Please forgive me. I also don&#39;t have pictures, because I left my camera at home.</p>
<p>So what&#39;s the point? It&#39;s just that wanted to share what I got to bring home with me from this weekend, because I&#39;ve got to tell someone and, well, you&#39;re it.</p>
<p>So here it is:</p>
<p><strong>THE SWAG I GOT AT THE MIGHTY SUMMIT</strong></p>
<p>1. A bunch of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zanathan/5003124932/in/pool-1503872@N23/" target="_blank">fabulous new female friends </a>that proved to me what I always suspected -- that there is strength in kindness, and that ambition can coexist with collaboration.</p>
<p>2. A reason to go to Indiana. (<a href="http://www.designformankind.com/" target="_blank">Hello, roomie</a>! You are sooo cute.)</p>
<p>3. A bellyache from all the laughing.These ladies are funny, y&#39;all.</p>
<p>4. Apparently, I also picked up a southern accent. (What?)</p>
<p>5. A peek into some <em>seriously</em> fascinating lives.</p>
<p>6. I learned that I can survive without the internet. It was hard, but I did it!</p>
<p>7. We all got the freedom to be vulnerable and give voice to our dreams. And just as importantly, the freedom to dream as little or as big as we dare.</p>
<p>8. Power: The power that comes from women coming together to find concrete ways to make each other&#39;s dreams a reality. Nothing is more empowering than telling someone, &quot;I can help you with that.&quot; I got to do that a couple of times. It was awesome. Talk about getting drunk with power.</p>
<p>9. A life lesson: You get what you ask for, so ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT. And be specific.</p>
<p>My plane is about to land. More tomorrow. I missed you all, but it&#39;s time to get home and kiss my babies.</p>
