Loved your post.  I, too, love being on the journey and can’t believe that now I am one of them from 25+ years ago!

One thing jumped out to me from your post:  You WENT to a conference.  These days it is so easy to sit alone in your house in your jammies watching a webinar and getting CERPS.  That serves a purpose to a point.  GOING to a conference where you get to hang with people who feel your passion, who walk your walk, and who are real people,  loving helping moms is a recharging of the soul’s batteries— it reminds me that though the costs of going are higher and higher, it is for my emotional health, not my brain, that I go!
