Today I’m guest posting over on (In)Courage. (In)Courage is one of the few blogs I get sent to my inbox every day. Some of my favorite writers, and friends, are regular contributors. And so I was extremely honored when they asked me to share something on the subject of Community for their anniversary.

Some people don’t get it.

They don’t get my fascination with communicating in 140 characters. They don’t get what compels me to expose my most intimate struggles, fears, and dreams on a blog. They don’t get my motivation for allowing strangers to become followers, and friends. (Click here to read more…)

Today I am guest posting over at Fuel Your Blogging…

Start. Launch. Go. Begin. Commence. BLOG!

A little over a year ago, I told a few friends that I wanted to start a blog. They looked at me in utter disbelief and said, “What are you going to write about?” They might as well have asked, “What in the world do YOU have to say?” Feeling a little defeated, I answered, “I’m not really sure, I just want to try it and see if I like it.”

Candidly, when I began blogging, I had no clue… (click here to continue reading)

I have decided to tweak, and possibly reconstruct, lindseynobles.com. For a few days, it is going to be a little messy around here. I hope you will forgive me.

And please feel free to make any comments or suggestions. I want any changes to be an IMPROVEMENT.

I love how anniversaries, birthdays, and seasons serve as a reminder to reflect on where you started, how far you’ve come, and where you want to go.

It seems crazy that just a year ago I began blogging. It all began with a short post that shows exactly how little I knew about the journey that lied ahead.

Candidly when I started blogging I had no idea…. (more…)

Sitting behind our computers or our smartphones tends to bring out the BOLD in each of us.

This is one of the things I love most about Social Media. I meet strangers everyday. I go out of my way to compliment people I have never met. I know what thousands of people are up to without them knowing I am quietly stalking their every move.

But every once in a while, I read a tweet or a comment and my tiny arm hairs stand on end.

It just reads wrong. It is usually a compliment of sort, some nice words of encouragement from a total stranger. But more accurately, the words are nice bordering on CREEPY. (more…)

Last week I went to my first blogging conference, Blissdom.

I had a blast. Okay, maybe that is a slight exaggeration. Really I left feeling kind of really overwhelmed. It was a lot of women. And a lot of information.

But I would go again in a heartbeat.

I learned. I was inspired. And I met some amazing women. Amazing women…who blog. Amazing women…who blog and tweet.

Here are six you should follow. Right now. Go check them out. And don’t forget to tell them I sent you. (more…)

I am headed to Blissdom…

Blissdom is the premiere conference for women who find and express their bliss by publishing online.  Blissdom ‘10, our third conference, is a welcoming oasis in the ever-changing blogging world. Speakers and panels featuring the best blogging, public relations and social media pros will be gathering to mentor new and old friends alike.

I am so excited. I love to learn. I love to blog. I love talking about social media. I love connecting with other bloggers. I love putting a face and a warm laugh with a twitter handle. Plus, the handsome crooner Harry Connick Jr. is going to sing me a song or two. I love it when handsome crooners sing me a song or two.

But as much as I am looking forward to it, I am kind of really nervous. (more…)

One thing I love about Social Media is that it is an easy what to know what is going in people’s lives (not everything, but certainly the very good and the very bad tend to pop up). So you can kind of keep tabs on what to be praying for. I am sure you already have a laundry list of prayer requests but can I suggest a few more?

Sweet, sweet, sweet Kate McRae’s family has had to make a hard impossible decision about her future treatment plans. Now that is behind them, they have a long road of ahead with chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. Pray that the family would endure, stay faithful, and that their little girl would be healed.

…that this year is off to a slow start.

But, well that is just not the case. I can’t believe how much has already happened in 2010. And get this…it is only January 13. (more…)

One of the best things that I did in 2009 was start this blog.

Not only has it  served as a wonderful outlet for me to process through my often-tangled thoughts, but it has fostered an UNBELIEVABLE COMMUNITY. I appreciate you all you reading…and adding to the conversation.

Here are my top posts of 2009 (aka EVER).

1. I Am What I Tweet? – Some people say we are what we eat, do you think we are what we tweet?

2. The Stars at Night – Looks like I need to talk about Texas more often. I apologize for getting you mentioning that song. Find comfort in the fact that it is stuck in my head too.

3. 32 and Single..Don’t Judge Me Too Quickly – So I am 32 (now 33) and single…that doesn’t mean you can lump me into some stereotypical category. (more…)
