Thank you.
Wordless Wednesday
Lots of Coffee, lots of kids. It's a peaceful life.
Hi there!
I wish I could come and listen to you! I'm sure you will do a fabulous job. Heck, you've certainly got experience homeschooling and that's all people want – someone who knows more than they do, right? At least I would think so. 🙂
You've been on my prayer list and I'll keep on in these last days! You will do wonderfully, I'm sure of it!!
Looking forward to seeing you there(and secretly, I think my husband is looking forward to actually meeting this Margaret in Minnesota of which I speak so often!!)!
Hi Margaret,
I was just wondering if with privacy being a concern with the blog if you really wanted to put a name card with your last name up in a post. I know I probably wouldn't and I don't get nearly the traffic you do.
I'll be praying for you and the conference.
Praying Margaret! You are such an inspiration to me, I know you'll be a wonderful speaker.
The Lord be with you.
Margaret, I'll be praying for you. And you will do fine. I lectored for years (before the older 2 were born and then from the time Conall was 1 until Shea was born. One of the BEST things I always did that gave me peace was before Mass started, I would pray that God give me the grace to say what needed to be said (reading it properly) and that the audience would not see me or hear me but His words being spoken through me… Perhaps a similar prayer before each of your talks might calm your nerves….
Also, I plan on being in the audience for your first talk, so you are sure to have at least one friendly face in the crowd 🙂
Prayinf for the conference and looking forward to attending one of your workshops!
Best of luck!
I am sure you will do great.
The worst part is now when it's all ahead of you. I'll bet you start talking and it'll all be very comfortable. You certainly couldn't have a more receptive audience! Rest assured the organizers are praying for you and we're grateful for all your prayers as well. It's a little crazy here in the conference "office" today. 🙂
Wishing you every success at the conference and can I say, I love your new banner – just gorgeous!
Cheers – Jooolz
I'll pray for your Conference and talk if you'll pray for my conference?
Wish I could hear you!
Praying for you, Margaret. Also hoping that you'll manage to have some of the usual FUN while you are there!
God bless!
Congrats! You will do great! I would love to hear you but maybe another time – we get to hear the lovely Alicia at our conference the following weekend :)We'll pray for a great experience, lots of grace for all, and tame nerves.
You'll be GREAT!!!! Go get 'em!!!
Praying for you! Wish I could be there to hear it!
Look at the known positives. I, (The Godafather)and my friends will not be there to heckle and distract. 😉
You mean you don't want to loose your mind like me when my comment included the city I live in….when I loose sleep over how much info I put out on my blog?!?!?
You'll be super and I can't wait to see/hear you in person! Sending extra prayers for you!
Dear Margaret, I would be thrilled to hear you speak if you lived closer, and know you'll be an inspiration, motivation, and charmer to everyone around you. Best wishes, saying a prayer for peace to wash over you so you're able to deliver your message successfully. God bless.
P.S. Will the conference be selling the talks for others to buy?
Dear Margaret, I loved your talk today on "Not Losing Hope". I especially loved your poem and your moving conclusion. I had tears in my eyes. I spoke to you right after your talk. Colleen C
