I don’t know about you guys but sometimes Monday mornings can leave me feeling a little fragile, a little insecure, a little worried about how the week ahead is going to go.
So, instead of trying to get a quick affirmation fix online, I’m learning to connect with one or two friends instead. People who get my brand of crazy and love me just the same. So instead of mindlessly scrolling the Internet this morning (or maybe that’s just me?!) I’m focusing on the importance of connecting in person.
And this year there are several opportunities to get to really connect beyond this blog screen together. And I’m so hoping I might get to hug a few of you in person!
Because this year (in)courage is partnering with LifeWay and hosting (in) real life meetups the day before several LifeWay events.
It’s a FREE night out to connect, be encouraged, spend time with girlfriends and (naturally) win prizes! I’m going to be there and I’d love to get to hug a few of you in person!
So check out the map and see which cities we’ll be coming to near you!
Bring your girlfriends, meet some of our regular contributors, and find yourself among friends. Oh and you don’t have to actually be attending the LifeWay event to stop by the (in)courage meetup – you’re welcome either way!
Where & When Are the Meetups Being Held?
- April 22 – Reading, PA
- June 9 – Springfield, MO
(the ONLY one I’m not sure I’ll be at; but expect lots of other familiar (in)courage faces!) - July 14 – Ontario, CA
- August 4 – Nashville, TN
- September 22 – Nashville, TN
What Does it Cost?
Tickets are FREE but space is limited so be sure to reserve a spot by clicking on the event above you’d like to attend!
After nine years of life online, there’s nothing sweeter than those moments we get to meet each other beyond the blog comment box. It never gets old getting to see your faces and hear your stories in person. It’s always an honor and a profound encouragement.
Come by yourself, come with a girlfriend, heck come with your whole church women’s ministry! :)
And, if you think you might make it, leave me a comment, eh? I’d love to know if you’re coming.
I have my ticket to the first Nashville event!! And now I’ll share and see if any of my friends want to go, but no matter what I will be there. I can’t believe I might actually get to meet you. :)
Isn’t that so fun? The thought of actually connecting in person with someone we only know from online? So looking forward to it!
I have my ticket to the Ontario, CA (really in Rancho Cucamonga)! It’s at my home church, Hillside Community. Thankful this is happening!
No way! So fun. See you there!
I’ve read your blog and your book etc.. and when i saw you were coming within 40 miles of me— i might have down a happy dance!This so made my day…my year! so excited to meet you! See you in Reading, PA!you have affected my life in more ways then one :)
Oh I feel so honored! Looking forward to giving you a hug in person, Melanie!
Aww! If only you were coming to Pittsburgh, PA!
Another year then. :)
Let’s hope so!
A different year I would make the drive – but I have some extra “cargo” that I’ll be delivering later this year, so I don’t want to be far from home. ;)
Yes, let’s hope so!
Enjoy Pennsylvania!
OK, so where is the RSA on this map? ;)
Hope to meet you in South Africa one day. Enjoy Lisa-Jo!
I know, right!!
Hooray! Yes!! I’ll see you in California and bringing a girlfriend who has been far from God with me! Praying that this is just what she needs and I am so looking forward to seeing you!!
I absolutely love your blog and find almost all
of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content
for you? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a number
of the subjects you write regarding here.
Again, awesome blog!
