Influence Conference

In about 5 short weeks, I'll be boarding an airplane and flying to Indiana for the Influence Conference hosted by some incredible women! I've actually been trying not to think about it too much as I told myself back in April that I was done with airplanes for the year. But, I'll put back on my brave face and conquer my fears for the 10th time this year! I'm so excited to link up and see who else is going and start connecting with new bloggers!

I'm hoping I have packing down to more of a science because I just about broke my suitcase traveling back from Blissdom!


Three fun little facts:

1. I like pink just a teeny tiny bit, incase the photo didn't speak to you or anything.

2. I absolutely love mailing cards, candies, and treats to people. I kinda think chocolate might be my love language.

3. I'm hoping to go to Haiti or Africa for a week or two in the next year to do missional work. As much as I love being a business owner, the former teacher in me would love to spend some time loving on little ones over there!

There are a few things that I'm absolutely jumping with excitement for:

1. The Community: I can't wait to hug and squeeze some of the sweet bloggers that I've already meant in real life this past year. Not to mention, there are so many women that I just absolutely adore and can't wait to meet and chat well as well. 

2. The Future: I think Influence is going to be so helpful to figure out just how I want to use my voice, and what direction to take my blog and business in as well. Not to mention, I foresee a bunch of changes coming my way in the next year or two, so I'm excited to how things unfold as I get a better vision over the weekend at the conference.

One thing I can't leave home without:

1. My iphone, enough said.

    I would love to be able to go to a blog confrence. Haha, so I am slightly jealous. I too don't like flying that much, which is funny because I am about to indure a 15 or so hour plane ride back to the states so I can go home. >.<

    I love your second little fact! I love mailing letters and stuff to people! I would love to have a pen pal project or something fun like that.

    Have a wonderful day!

    I love mailing cards to people as well. In fact, my New Years resolution was to get better at corresponding to people via handwritten note. There's a lot to be said for doing things the old fashioned way :)

    Hi Carrie! Following your blog from the GFC hop. I love your place here. The profile picture is oh-so-cheery and you're interested in missions. How exciting. My husband and I love doing missionwork, and actually met while volunteering with Youth with a Mission here in Costa Rica. Happy to have found you this morning. Take care!

    If you do end up going somewhere like Haiti, get at me! I'm actually serious! I graduate with my teaching degree in December and obviously won't get a job right away in the middle of the school year. I've been researching doing something like that too!

    That with the phone...that right there. Yep and yep. Hey - at least we're honest, right?

    And I LOVE sending stuff in the mail too. :) Such a joy, right?

    Can't wait to meet you at Influence.

    Carrie! Spotted your TOMS. Hope you will be rocking them at the conference. :) Haiti is a country that tugs at my heart strings and I would love to go there. I am going to India this fall. We should chat. :)
