We need to reflect inward and examine our motivations, patterns, and use of technology – understanding when we’re mindful and not. This left me some reflection questions: How do you balance a connected lifestyle with being purposeful? We’re all struggling with balance of technology and a purposeful life.

I'm still pretty fried, but wanted to capture some of my reflections about the GV London Summit experience. First, there was a lot of energy in the room, similar to the blogher , because a lot of people had been reading each other's blogs or posts on GV, but had never met face-to-face.

I reflect back what I’m hearing. This doesn’t mean each interview is full of giggles and slapstick (though some are) … it’s the spontaneity and improvisation that creates magic in the moment. As the willing witness, I point out what I see and ask questions to bring out what isn’t being said in words. I wonder about implications.

These thoughts changed how I moved, and dance became a self-conscious, self-critical experience, which was a bigger reflection on how I lived life and viewed myself within it. I internalized the subtle message that as a woman I should quietly take up as little space as possible. It has been a lengthy process of reclaiming movement and dance.

In reflection, I've been thinking about how much richer it is being social - how you don't have to know all the answers when you have a good network (and a decent Internet connection.) Unfortunately, I did not have my laptop accessible in that moment. it just doesn't depend on them, bloggers say.

What I will be talking about at BlogHer is the idea of getting your customers to do the talking on the blog. Non-profits typically have such a community going into the game, so the question becomes how can the blog enhance the effort, and who should blog. The same might work extremely well for a non-profit.
