Ah…I’m still processing and thinking about the weekend. Thank you for organizing my thoughts for me. Love you and the weekends we’ve had at Allume!
xoxo
Thanks, Stacey, for sharing all these great quotes from Allume – I have appreciated reading them wherever I get a chance, on Twitter, in blogs, etc. Such good quotes – thank you.
beautiful …
Mary, I love this post, all these good words collected here. Grateful for your presence there this year!
Annie – I love my “Be Thankful” print! Thank you so much!
I just *heart* you in such a big way.
Thanks for sharing all of this! I so wish I could’ve been there but hopefully NEXT year! What wonderful nuggets you saved to share with us!
Love all the quotes, but the one by Stephanie Bryant stood out to me. Unfortunately, I’ve met bloggers that are all godliness online, but nothing like that in person. Sad. It makes me hesitant to blog because I’m afraid of putting up a false front, too. It’s hard to know how to keep the balance of keeping private stuff private and still being real.
I love that quote too Leslie! Her whole session was amazing! I like the language of it “the promise” to be here just as I am in other places – like church, with my family or anywhere. Good stuff to ponder!
Hi there – I clicked over from Kristen’s blog and am so glad I did; I’ll certainly be sticking around 🙂 Looking forward to joining you!
