As many of you know, I am part of The Influence Network.
For those of you who don't know...
Back in March of this year I kept feeling God nudge me,
"Pssst... hey! Ya ya ya THE INFLUENCE NETWORK!"
Blogging alone brings about such an awesome community experience,
but I wanted to go a little deeper and make a commitment to something
that really reflected who I am as a blogger.

straight from influencenetwork.com >>>
The Influence Network is for creatively minded women,
who are looking for an uplifting community where they can be encouraged
and also resourced to make their online lives MEAN SOMETHING.
______________________________
Bingo! That's me. Done. And done.
I always want my online life to mean something in light of eternity.
This is Kingdom work here - as I share my heart and my family's way of life.
I am so blessed to share this journey with you!
AND I am so excited to be going to The Influence Network conference this year!!!
Scratch that - BEYOND excited!!! I know without a shadow of a doubt that God wants
me there and that gives me goose bumps. Can't wait to see what He's got up His sleeve!!!
::: two things that will be in my bag :::
1.) Paper. Beautiful paper. I'm not bringing a laptop with me - only my phone.
Really hoping to just un-plug (a little!) and write write write down new ideas
and inspiration that comes to me along the way!
2.) Starbucks coffee. I know I know! There is a Starbucks in the lobby! Which I will
most likely utilize. But I am a sucker for the bottled mocha frappucino. So I will have some.
And probably some Clif bars to go with that. Because I'm a snacker. No shame.
::: two things i am looking forward to :::
1.) Being filled. I cannot wait to just sit back and let God love and lead
me through other faith-filled women!
2.) Watching this online community COME TO LIFE. I message, text, facebook, instagram,
tweet with so many awesome women on a daily basis - and I'm looking forward to seeing
them BEYOND THEIR AVATAR!!!
See ya in Indy!!!
P.S. I've had several people ask me if you have to be a blogger to attend.
NOOOOOOOO! Want to come too?! There are still tickets available. Details here.
I am in total agreement on the paper and Starbucks...although it hadn't occurred to me to bring the bottled frapps...genius! :) This will be my first time at the conference too. SO excited!

DeleteHi Brittany! Great to meet you...I'm pretty new to all things Influence. Looking forward to the weekend, thought a little nervous since I'm heading there without knowing anyone in real life and this is my 1st conference in probably at least 10 years. That quote you shared from the Influence site is TOTALLY me. I know this will be good.
ReplyDeleteI take paper notes too, and I think it will be a little funny to start recognizing (or not recognizing) people based on their avatar!
ReplyDeleteI am a total snacker too! And Starbucks lover :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited to meet you :) Just a few days!
