Keystrokes By Kimberly
As promised here is a recap of the chat plus information I did not have a chance to share prior to going to “twitter jail”. That sounds so crazy but as I frantically sought help from my technology savvy son he said “Mom you’re in twitter jail for doing too much so wrap it up.” Lol…
BLM Updates
We all NEED to be members. It is FREE and has benefits beyond measure! We are a collaborative group of GREATNESS with every type of female blogger imaginable. Spread your wings and become an “official” member TODAY! Leslie Young is constantly updating our member list so get your name added TODAY. How do you become a member? You become an “official member” by doing the following:
1. Have you completed the BLM Survey?
2. Do you proudly wear your badge on your blog?
3. Are you a member of the BLM Facebook Group?
If you answered yes to all 3 of these questions then YOU ARE OFFICIAL!
Also, please take a moment to “LIKE” the Facebook Supporter page. I have started refereeing to it as supporter page because we are truly supporters of one another vs fans. The Facebook Supporter page is https://www.facebook.com/BloggersLikeMe band our Facebook group page is https://www.facebook.com/groups/BloggersLikeMe. What’s the difference? The Facebook Supporter page is our “professional page” for posting our latest and greatest updates, dynamic post and inspirational messages. Our Facebook group page is our work spot hub where we collaborate, share and ask questions. We would LOVE to get our Facebook Supporter page to reflect the 1200+ group members on our group page. Currently, we are at roughly 450 “LIKES” so hopefully after reading this post and sharing with others we can achieve half of that by Saturday, July 13th! 😉 After all how many pages have you “LIKED” because a DYNAMIC friend asked you too? Well, return the favor and ask away.
August 31st Event Updates
We are SO stoked about OUR event on Saturday, August 31st. Just think about it. We are hosting one event in five cities at the same time and we are not even a year old!!!!!!!!!!!! Hats off to Leslie Young, the founder, for sharing her vision in every essence with us. Not sure about you however I cannot wait for the BIG conference in Las Vegas in Spring of 2014! Okay…below are important details about the August 31st event.
Event Cities are Atlanta, GA | Chicago. IL | DMV ~ DC, Maryland, Virginia | Los Angeles, CA | New York, NY
City Links are as follows:
Early Bird tickets sales are still $35 for members and $45 for non-members right now through this Sunday. Each city has a limited amount of early bird ticket so PLEASE get yours TODAY because once the early tickets are gone there will be no more early bird! Lol…
Regular ticket prices begin on Monday, July 15th at 12:01am. Tickets sales will continue until Tuesday, August 27th or until the event city reaches capacity, whichever comes first.
A ticket price includes A LOT! Not sure where else you can get a deal this sweet. This is what you will get for your money.

EXCELLENT POST KIMBERLY!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Girlie!
First off I would like to say terrific blog! I had
a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to
writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my mind
in getting my ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any ideas or tips? Thanks!
Hi Jacelyn ~ I actually write from the heart and without a schedule. Whenever it hits me I just write.
