Creating Sacred Spaces for courageous conversations about #deconstruction, recovering from #religoustrauma, & learning to trust yourself again.

I know I did it wrong, but here’s why… I was “supp I know I did it wrong, but here’s why…
I was “supposed to” make sure I took pics with everyone I hung out with, tag them so we can cross pollinate our platforms, tag the ‘big speakers’ so they’ll notice me, post I was going to be there, post everyday while I was there, and then post a HUGE recap after it ended.
But here’s the thing, I wasn’t there for platforming…I was there because I needed to be with my people and make more writer friends who understand how crazy this progressive/exvangelical space actually is. 
I barely took selfies, met a few speakers, and only attended half the sessions.
BUT I chose that so I could sit and talk with friends during the other half, have deep conversations with a few select speakers and exhibitors that I felt alignment with, and brainstorm future projects with Lisa and Keely.
This event felt like putting a pin in a map that says “I am here.” 
You see, the last time I was in this building, I didn’t have an agent, book, or even a book proposal. I was seriously fangirling over people who are exactly where I am now.
So, will I gain a bunch of followers? Probably not. But my heart is full, my cheeks still hurt from laughing, and I am owning my place in the world.
Might not be what the @ccfwgr had in mind, but I am grateful.
And to those who shared a hug, laugh, or even sarcastic eye roll (I’m looking mostly at @liz_boltz_ranfeld ) I adore us and want to do this again soon. 
For those I didn’t connect with, I’m sorry we missed each other. Let’s meet up soon.
