I spent the last months planning for BlogHer and our party. They’re both finally over. The party is a post all to itself. But I’ll give you a hint: ANTWAY! The conference was in San Diego and it was one of those amazing chances to say THANK YOU to the people that have been such [...]

Dear @BlogHer attendees & non-attendees
Dear people going to BlogHer, NOT going to BlogHer or wondering “WTH is BlogHer?”, Last year, Peter and I got on a plane and flew to NY to be at my first event post-strokes. NY was loud, it smelled funky and being able to be there was glorious. Being anywhere was glorious. Since that time [...]
own your nap
“You need to own your naps again.” Pete said this other day when we were talking about a lot of things that needed SOMETHING. I have this site and Aiming Low that I’m building up. 25 writers I love talking to each day. We’re organizing events at BlogHer and TypeAParent. The freelance thing I do. [...]
sometimes you need to go blind to see
Rachael sat on my glasses. My mom would turn red at the curses that mentally came out of me at having crooked lenses and arm pieces that snagged my hair. I went to BlogHer. I wore them every day. I ate at a Atlanta meet-up. I finally couldn’t stand it anymore. They were crooked and [...]
what you do when people think they know you
Of all the things I worried about, coming face-to-face with so many people I have known from BEFORE ranked at the top. They saw me running around with wind in my hair. Smiles broad on my face and always ready to pose for a picture. On the floor, on my knees, everywhere. How do you [...]
at least you were as wrong as I was
Way back when Peter and I were first asked to speak at Blogher, he almost said no because he was worried about crowd control. I laughed. As we got closer to the date he worried some more about getting crowded and me feeling overwhelmed. I laughed. In the weeks just before we left, Peter was [...]
the first of the recap posts….aka, a lot of babbling
So much to tell. So much to say. There are people that have names I will forget to mention….but they rocked my weekend. There are friends from the past that reminded me how very blessed I am. I think I got to see almost everyone I planned on. There were a few that slipped through [...]
i guess vlogging isn’t as scary when you’re really lazy
Anissa’s 2nd Vlog from Anissa Mayhew on Vimeo.
Ford asked What Women Want and apparently it’s to look HOT and wear beautiful jewelry. Well. DUH.
I totally went to BlogHer….and I had a tremendous time….and thanks to some wicked fabulous companies, I got to enjoy my trip just THAT much more. Not anything that would make or break my trip, but things that made it easier to go….things that made me feel prettier and more self-confident walking into a sea [...]
The scent of BlogHer still lingers on my skin
Because I’m totally a follower, I’m going to do what my beloved friend Janet did and NOT post links to every single thing because a) I don’t want to leave anyone out b) I’m stupid and lame and can’t remember every person’s name {even with the help of business cards} c) if you THINK I’m [...]
Thoughts from the airport
*SIGH* I wrote this the morning I left for BlogHer, but apparently the wi-fi connection was so lousy in the hotel, it never actually posted. Tech hotel FAIL! So better late than never, right? I’m writing this from the Atlanta airport…drinking a cup of mediocre coffee, a man who needs to rethink his commitment to [...]
The one where I almost don’t go to BlogHer
My niece went to camp and got sent home early. She did not get in trouble. She did not break the rules. She was not caught creeping out of her cabin after hours in an attempt to make it to the boys’ side of the camp. Unfortunately! Nope, what she did get was exposure to [...]
About Anissa
Erma Bombeck said something that pretty much defines my approach to life.... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." If you switch the word TALENT for LOVE or LAUGHTER or HAPPINESS....it still stands.
