Two years ago, I had the desire to bring the creative topics of my blog to real life. I didn’t want to just write about things and have you read them over a screen. I wanted to meet you and laugh with you and live life together because in real life is so much better than on-line.
Approaching one of my dear friends, Jenny from Southern Savers, I just love that our dream came true in the form of our Becoming Conference , a weekend designed to encourage women to become more intentional in all aspect of life.
We’ve now had the privilege of sharing our love of all things creative, purposeful and frugal with over a thousand women from around the US, and it’s a joy to have met so many of you.
This August is for YOU!
A weekend for YOU to be encouraged and refreshed.
We’d love for you to join us this August 9-10, for our third annual event.
Kick back and relax in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. It’s the perfect girls get away weekend, and you will leave refreshed and encouraged on so many levels.
Our desire is that all women can attend, and that is why we offer the conference, hotel, three meals and lots of goodies for under $100 (if sharing room with friends.) Check out all the details at www.becomingconf.com and follow along on the facebook page for updates.
It’s a joy to co-host this with Jenny of Southern Savers, and it’s an honor to see the enthusiasm and excitement for those who have attended in the past, who now make it an annual tradition.
We are elevating the conference a step further this year by bringing in eight new speakers and ten new sessions, along with four more HANDS ON workshops on Friday afternoon. See details here to sign up for optional workshops.
We joke that the hardest part of your weekend will be deciding which workshops to attend. There are just too many good choices.
