Love the short snippets you shared about your female ancestors and how their stories inspire qualities in you like courage and resilience in the face of loss.

Your RootsTech wrap up is very moving Lori. There were even tears here. I love you 'Big Table' analogy. You have reminded me that RootsTech is much more than a conference. You have reminded me of how I felt after attending in person in 2016. All being well, we hope to be there next year. I've been dealing with too much FOMO from here!

Moving write-up of the conference. It really is hard to put into words. So glad we got to talk a few times admist the rush. Which I had been a part of the other meetups of writers here. Next year!

Not having enough bandwidth or time this year I didn't partake, but now I know what I missed out on and your enthusiasm is contagious!
