Happy Friday, Influence Community! It’s hard to believe that we’re already coming up to the end of August. Has anyone traded in their iced mochas for pumpkin spice lattes just yet? Personally, I’m holding out for sweater weather, but just the thought is getting me excited for fall.
As October draws closer, I encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with some new bloggers attending the Influence Conference. I’m sharing some of my favorite posts from this past week from conference attendees, community leaders, and speakers, so if any of these blog posts are new to you, I highly recommend you check them out. It’s a great way to get to know some awesome people in our community and leave them some blog love to top off the end of this week!
Friday Links to Love:
- Hayley shares a post on Things You Should Be Doing.
- Maggie shares a post on Simple [But Valuable] Tips to Juggle Business and Life.
- Nish shares a post on The Start of a Life List.
- Jessi shares a post on Embellished Flats.
- Allison shares a post on Following Blogs.
If you have a favorite blog post (from this week) to share, I’d love for you to leave a comment below sharing the link for all of us. And hey, while you’re at it, introduce yourself and your blog, too! Have a blessed weekend.
Also, if you haven’t heard already, Casey Wiegand had her Baby Apple this week! Send her thoughts and prayers as their new family of five are enjoying some precious time together. - Moriah
It’s been so fun seeing posts from other Influence community members to sort of “pre-connect” before the conference :) But, I’m wondering, is there any way you could highlight / feature posts from some the attendees? For instance, I absolutely love Hayley and Jessi and Casey and follow their posts on a regular basis, but some of the other people simply attending the conference I don’t know and would love to be “introduced” to beforehand. Just a thought :)
So excited for fall: sweaters, warm drinks, and this conference!
I completely agree, Trina! I do include posts from attendees, as well. I’ve been trying to brainstorm another way for us to become better acquainted before the conference, and maybe a page with links to attendees blogs would be helpful, too? I’ll ask the hosts about it! Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for putting all of this together! A page of all the attendees’ blogs would be fun :) Let us know if/when something like that is put together!
I love the idea of “getting to know” some of the other bloggers attending the conference! This week, I wrote a post on Steadying my Heart. (http://thereseandross.blogspot.com/2012/08/steady-my-heart.html)
I loved your blog post and completely relate to your words about being an introvert but craving being in social settings and building real relationships. Thanks so much for sharing, Therese!
I’m getting so excited for this conference! I love the idea of somehow getting to know the other attendees as well. :)
Hi! I just wanted to comment and say I am so looking forward to attending the conference in October and meeting some other bloggers. I agree that a page with all of the attendees’ blogs would be great!
