{My first official professionally done website header — added when I switched from Blogspot to Typepad.}
Speaking at my first blogging conference — I was a scared, insecure mess inside and I can see it written all over my face in this picture.
My second blogging conference — I was still nervous and scared, but I felt more myself and more whole and I can see it in my face here.
My first radio interview — again, this was a completely unnerving experience for shy me. I felt like just going back to my hotel room and crying when it was over because I was sure I had totally bombed it.
My first book: basically an exercise in how to do everything wrong! I learned so much, and wished I could have done it all over again because there would be so much I would change!
My 4th(?) blogging conference: This time, I went with the sole desire to pour into others and look for other people to bless. Guess what? I completely forgot about my usual insecurities and ended up having a blast!
I was excited about the weekend deals this week! Since the Labor Day sales went through Monday, we split up our budget so that we got some of them last week and some of them this week.
