I've missed you all while I was on vacation and at the She Speaks conference. Don't you love going somewhere where you can be yourself and hang out with people that you really enjoy being around?
As my brain slowly processes all that went on {I'll tell you all about it soon}, I wanted to share something exciting with you that was unveiled at She Speaks. A place where you can be yourself and hang out with great people--sounds like vacation, huh? It kind of is.
It's a new site called (in)courage and it's a place where we can be inspired, be real, be ourselves and be, well....(in)couraged.
There are a whole slew of some of my favorite writers who will be involved with this new project. One is Sarah Mae from Like a Warm Cup of Coffee who kicked off what she termed as "the chain of anticipation" love her. It's taking all that is in me not to talk about each and every person that is going to be a part of this and why I personally adore them.
But, that would be a long post so every day this week on many different blogs you'll meet others on who are joining in. I had the pleasure this weekend to hang with two of the three girls who are investing so much of their lives into making this site a reality. I'm convinced (in)courage is going to be a like a cyber home for many of us.
And not only will there be (in)couraging words, there will also be some (in)couraging products.
You might even find some tassels that have a little more to say than usual.
One of the handful of artists who's wares will be featured at (in)courage is someone I love, Lindsey from the Pleated Poppy Shop and Blog. I'm a huge fan of Lindsey's posies --she even made a limited edition set for Nesting Place readers a few months ago. Lindsey's tag line is : beautiful imperfections of the everyday. Who doesn't love that?
All the posies and tea towels will have an (in)couraging message.
I hope you join me, next Monday for the launch of (in)courage at incourage.me lets take hope to heart and enjoy the (in)couragement and connection that we can have with each other.
We'll meet over there next Monday.
Are you (in)?

Girl, it was WONDERFUL hanging out with you this weekend. You are even lovelier in person than you are online (if that's possible). So excited and (in)couraged about what God has in store...
What a wonderful idea for a website! I can't wait until it launches! And thanks so much for sharing it with us... I probably wouldn't have heard about it except for you! Thanks!
What a wonderful idea! I am looking so forward to hearing more.
I can't wait to hear more! I'll be there Monday! This is an amazing idea, I know it will be inspiring! :)

I'm definitely (in). :) It was SO GREAT to meet you this weekend!! You are sweet and funny and I just can't wait for the next time!
Hi sweetie, because I was doing other stuff at the conference, I didn't get to hear a lot about this. But if you need a devo or Christian Living article written now and then, I would be happy to volunteer. Just let me know.
In Christ,
LauraLee
I THOUGHT that looked like a Nester tassel at the top of the (in)courage page! : )
Can't wait for this to get started!
I'm (in)trigued. Is it a team blog? A message board? Apartment Therapy for a different set? Is it Christian? For moms? For crafters? For DIYers? I'm so curious!
I am so honored to be a part of this project...such amazing company! :-)
Dear Nester Smith:
I just wanted to tell you how completely delighted and giddy I was to hang with you this past weekend. You made me laugh so hard we got yelled at by the sleepy girl...and in my book, that qualifies as instant life-long friend.
You are gorgeous and precious and super sweet. And your workshop gave me a lot of info to process about my blog and my life. Namely, that when playing Barbies, keep the backstories simple.
Love you!
Sandy
Hello Nester - what a beautiful idea! I'd love to be (in)cluded!
Blessings,
Marie

That is so cool. And I'm following them on Twitter now, too. I just LOVE those tassels! I need to be making some myself~! =-D
I've been woefully behind on blog reading, so just discovered (in)courage a couple nights ago. To say that I've been so blessed by all the precious stories and word over there is just a massive understatement.
Thank you for being a part of this amazing group of women who are sharing your souls with us every day!
