BlogHer and Nerves

August 2, 2011 By Erika Zane

2 Aug

You may have noticed, if you glanced at the buttons on the side of the screen, that I am attending the BlogHer Conference in San Diego this week.

Happy, excited, stressed that I’ll forget something, and terrified that I’ll be lost at such a huge conference pretty much sum up how I am feeling.  Those all consuming feelings are making it hard for me to focus on writing about anything else.  So here I go…

I’m attending because I would love to make a work-at-home career out of my blog and/or free-lance writing and maybe even some web design.  I love this blog and I love to write.  I am hoping this conference will help me mold something I already love into something I can use to make extra income for our family.

In addition to mapping out my future, I am also really looking forward to meeting my three wonderful roommates (Rebecca from Daily Rebecca, Kathleen from Life With 4 Boys, & Rayle from Syngle Mama), seeing my very close friend (Diana from Hormonal Imbalances), and meeting the many other amazing bloggers that will be there!  Not to mention my excitement at attending all the fun parties I get to dress up for!

Early Thursday morning I’m off to BlogHer ’11!  Wish me luck and send a few prayers my way for smooth travels and a successful trip!  Please 😀

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
