It has to be a very good reason for me to spend four nights away from my husband and kids….and it was.
From Wednesday to Sunday I had the pleasure of immersing myself in The Matrix aka the world of blogging. Kelby Carr invited me to join a panel of fabulous speakers at her inaugural Type-A Mom Conference (she called me her "Token Type-B") and it was a long weekend of thinking in community with about 250 sharp, savvy, fun, inspiring, challenging women (and even a few men).
I'll share more details about the sessions I co-lead ("Writing with Authenticity and Passion" and "Balance") soon. This was one of those times I wanted to clone myself and attend most all the sessions!
One of the sweetest bonuses of the conference was spending time with Amber (author of The Run-a-muck); I'm guaranteed to laugh until I cry when I'm with her–this time I swear I cracked a rib, something to do with "beef bourguignon" (<—YOU try to pronounce it!)…and after the tears from laughter, we might just shed a few from a certain depth of "knowing"…. Above, we're sharin' the love on the grounds of Asheville's famed Biltmore House.
I’m new around here…looking forward to reading more about the sessions you co-lead. Sounds like a great conference.
You two could be sisters!
Sounds like fun! And Biltmore House too–one of my favorite places in the country!
i can’t wait to hear all about it! it sounded amazing!
please share your tips! esp on balance. i’m lacking that lately 😉
It was so nice to hang out with you two, I already miss you! You are one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and I wish you lived closer!
I absolutely hate that I missed it 🙁 But you two look totally adorable! Please tell me that you’ll both be at BlissDom ’10? Because I’m not going to miss that one!
Very cool! I saw quite a few tweets from the conference.
You two were my favorite TREATS of the conference. You are both southern sweetness. My only complaint is I can’t see you and hear your beautiful drawls every day…
AHA! Solution – I will add you to skype and we will have to talk that way so I can see and hear you on a regular basis.
OH – and you get over to SayItFacetoFace.com girl!! RIGHT NOW!!! 🙂
This makes me very, very happy.
Smiling — you beautiful women, you!
All’s grace,
Ann
