I recently had the following conversation with some co-workers after mentioning that I was looking for inexpensive airfare to South Carolina:
Them: “Oh, what’s in South Caroline?”
Me: “A blogging conference that I’m hoping to go to in the fall.”
Them: “Oh. You blog? What about? Who is it for?”
Me: “Um. You know. Just life. And. Stuff.”
I am nothing if not verbose and descriptive. I really wanted to just smack myself in the forehead after that conversation. Why was I nervous about telling them what I write about? Why didn’t I mention that I happen to be a contributing writer for Allume, the conference I’m hoping to go to? Why was it awkward to say that I write about my faith, my family and my passion is encouraging women?
Nope.
Clearly I went with “Um.”
Find out why I’m telling this awkward story over at Allume today 🙂
Super post! Read it in entirety at the allume site. We constantly are evolving women for sure. God grows us a little each day and gives us the words to speak when necessary. 🙂
