The Influence Network: Oh, Hello :)
I haven't talked too much about the Influence Network here on the blog, but I think it's high time I do!
Last fall, I attended the Influence Conference and met so many wonderful ladies, learned a great many things about blogging, and discovered how an online community can translate into real, in-life support and friendship :) In January, they launched the Influence Network, and it took me about 5 minutes to sign up! So far, I'm loving all the classes I've taken, learned a lot from the forums, and have "met" lots of cool, blogger ladies!
Today, they are doing an "Introduce Yourself" link-up, and I thought it would be fun to join :)
Even if you're not part of the network, it's always fun to learn just a bit more about someone!
Here we go:
Me. Josh took this photo on the day we found out we were pregnant :)
Three things about me:
1.) I've always loved to write. In fact, I began my first novel when I was 16. It included a crazy lady in the woods, a murdered slave, a private investigator, a sappy private investigator's assistant, a setting in the South (where I had never been at that point in my life), and lots of very unrealistic situations. I never did finish it, and it was the first of many stories I started but never finished. However, I would love to write + publish a book someday :)
2.) I can resist sugar, but I don't have self-control when it comes to salty things. Brownies...you're good and I love you, but I can ignore you. Doritos...watch your back! You'll last about five minutes in my pantry. This is why I rarely buy salty snacks :) I know my weaknesses!
3.) I'm a total homebody. I immediately get into comfy clothes when I get home, and once I'm home, I don't like going back out. At the same time, I'm trying to do better at getting out, spending more time with people, and being a little more spontaneous!
A valuable thing (or some things...) I've gained from the Influence Network:
Ask questions. Don't be afraid of change (hence blog name change!). And this online community is powerful, encouraging, life-giving, and Jesus-loving!
If you're a blogger and want to get connected with a group of ladies who share your passion, faith, and heart, the Influence Network may be a place to start :)
Happy Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteNicole, I loved getting to know you better! I hear ya, as soon as I walk in the door it's sweat pants and slippers for me! and maybe a couch and a blanket too, but who's counting!! Looking forward to getting to know you more!
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet and salty combo the best, but Doritos don't last long in our house either! I can't wait to hear more from you in the forums!
ReplyDeleteI am a definite homebody! Comfy clothes and a night on the couch for the win.
ReplyDeleteI wrote crazy stories when I was in my teens, too, haha. I've decided to call it writers' growing pains.
I love your pretty picture, and I'm so glad your voice is a part of this network.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a homebody too. Comfy clothes + soft house shoes as soon as I get home...that's me.
