Reflections on a Year of Blogging

Reflections on a Year of Blogging

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 [...] [...more]

Nice…Bordering On Creepy

Nice…Bordering On Creepy

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 [...] [...more]

6 Women to Watch (Blissdom Style)

6 Women to Watch (Blissdom Style)

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 [...] [...more]

A Laundry List of Requests

A Laundry List of Requests

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 [...] [...more]

I Wish I Could Say…

I Wish I Could Say…

…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. Here’s a quick peak into my last few weeks: We introduced a new social media hub for Thomas Nelson. The goal is that this [...] [...more]

I appreciate you all you reading…and adding to the conversation. Here are my top posts of 2009 (aka EVER). 1. [...] [...more]

Random Things I Learned About Last Night

Random Things I Learned About Last Night

Last night I had dinner with Spence Smith, Keely Marie Scott, and Ryan O’Quinn. I had never met Keely and Ryan before “in real life.” But they were even cooler than I imagined. I had so much fun. It was one of those nights that was completely energizing (something I don’t take for granted in this [...] [...more]

A Reader Survey

A Reader Survey

When I started blogging several months ago, I assumed that most of my readers would be my family and friends who can’t keep up with my day-to-day activities because of geographic challenges. Boy was I wrong! A huge majority readers are people I have never met “in real life.” They are people, like you, who [...] [...more]

Defining Community

Defining Community

Earlier this week, I posted about cultivating community. In the comments section, it quickly became obvious that I had missed something. I had neglected to define community. Are people who gathering and exchange thoughts and ideas online really a community? When I am looking for definitions, I typically pull out my oh-so-handy Webster’s Dictionary (or search [...] [...more]
