Last week I was able to experience "The Big Easy" with some amazing women (and men) at the annual Mom 2.0 Summit at the Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans. From the opening keynote to the closing parties, I was amazed with how effectively the conference took on the strength and courage of the host city.
Friday started off with a beautifully choreographed and conversational keynote by Lois Vossen and Abigail Disney. They called on everyone present to use the perseverance New Orleans and its inhabitants as a guide in their own lives and even for their blogs.
Tie-ins to the city and its history continued with tours on Saturday featuring the famous French Quarter and a History of Jazz Tour that took participants to the famous Preservation Hall for a personal concert.
Over the last six years the entire city of New Orleans has had to go through a gigantic renovation. It was amazing to see this in action and while many spots are back to their previous splendor there is still work to be done around every corner. The order of importance with the remodels was carefully though out- schools, churches, and tourist attractions took precedence over other needs much like we tend to give the most, or initial, attention to the most used areas in our homes.
Are there any projects that you had to persevere through? Perhaps, water damage led you to do an unexpected remodel or issues arose with a contractor mid-project. I'd love to hear your stories of persevering through your own remodel.
