Not Going to BlogHer

Edited to add: Y'all know I'm a Twitter addict, right? Well I gotta say, I am loving @BackpackingDad's #HomeHer10 conference.  Nothin' but fun.


Generally I am a very content person with my life, and I strive to live by Paul's words in Philippeans 4:12

"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."

I have a lot of very good friends who are bloggers. That happens when you've been blogging for more than five years.  Some I knew long before we began blogging, some I met through blogging but have spent time with face to face, and some who I feel close to but haven't had the chance to hug yet.  So it's natural to want to be with them when so many of them are getting together in New York City this weekend.  Two thousand bloggers enjoying parties, panels, pampering and products together.  I am committed to being happy for them and not too envious, and I have found one way to quell my green eyed monster is to prayer for my Christian blogger friends, like Sarah, who want to let Jesus shine through them.  

So if you're hopping over from Robin's BlogHop 2010, welcome!  
A little about me.  I'm a married mom of two boys, an engineer, a photographer, and a Type B dreamer.  Probably the most important thing to me other than Jesus and my family is balance.  So I write to encourage other moms to step away from the stress and anxiety that is common in motherhood and learn to live with calm, harmony and joy.  Yes, this means saying "No" to perfectionism. No, this does not mean being lazy or having "idol hands".  

Anyhow, I encourage you to stick around if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed with parenting and need some respite.   Why not subscribe?
