If you haven’t figured it out already, I’m on vacation. Actually, I just came back from vacation early so I could repack and go to She Speaks. Oh, and my sister and I have/get to speak there. But it’s worth the stress because Emily and I get to share a hotel room and fall asleep laughing just like old times. I am beyond excited and nervous.
Our topic is “Defining and Refining the Purpose of Your Blog.” It’s been really good for me to hash out this talk with Emily. She hashed, I laughed, got distracted, and tried to make funny jokes. Knowing the purpose of your blog really is the key to being able to make decisions about blogging and not blogging. The highlight of course, will be getting to meet lots of new people {ok and sharing a hotel room with my sister, did I mention that she is the funnest person in the universe?}. Meeting new people is also the most daunting part for me and my introverted self. I usually act stupid or embarrass myself when I meet new people. Speaking of embarrassing myself, if you are coming to She Speaks, be sure to sign up at Jen’s for the bloggy meet and greet so we all can meet!
Lastly, I’ve got a full email inbox–if I haven’t responded to you, thank you in advance for not taking it personally. Sometimes the blog tries to take over my life. Thank you so much for understanding when I do the right thing and put family first. If you too struggle with balancing blogging, make sure you read Blogging and Balancing Time @ Keeper of the Home.
Next week, I’ll take some time to recap our She Speaks talk. I think it will be good for us all to have a little heart to heart about blogging. Thanks so much for reading. You are what makes this blog worthwhile!
