I hope Curvy CEO, Jese, and Erika are as pleased as I am with how it went.
Here are 10 things I loved about hosting the DC #CJBL!!!
1.
Co-Hosting! This was my first event having a co-host. Ms. Curvy- CEO reached out and invited me to do a #CJBL Brunch in her town, DC. Partnering with her was a pleasure. It was comforting to have someone to share the work with and to have someone be equally vested in the outcome. It was equally fun to have someone to be as excited about the outcome as I am.2.
Jese! This was my 2ndtime hearing Jese speak. I find her to be a very inspiring woman. I enjoyed hearing about her experience in starting LuxeGiving. I liked the points she made about how self assessment and knowing how you are perceived are important. She also illustrated really well how we should pick our battles and know if something is worth fighting or losing money for in business.3.
Erika! This was the 2ndtime Erika presented at a Chasing Joy Brunch & Learn. I enjoyed the twists she made on her presentation this time. I liked the conversation on ways to boost confidence every day. There was great input from the attendees on things like affirmations, prayer, and taking selfies to boost confidence.4. The attendees!!! The women who came to the #CJBL brunch were just fabulous. Everyone was beautiful, friendly, and welcoming. Everyone came with a mindset to have a great time. There was so much laughter and more hugs than I could count.
5.
Sponsors! Every time I have an event I am blown away by the businesses' willingness to support positive events. The #CJBL simply could not go on without the sponsors.6.
Support! I love the supportive environment at Chasing Joy events. I loved how when questions were asked by attendees there was open discussion and the advice was free flowing from all, not just the speakers.7.
My mom!!! I feel so blessed that my mom has been able to witness all of the good things that have happened in my life since I started blogging. It is nice that she gets to see me running things!! My dad was able to see some of my successes in purchasing a home and getting certain jobs. However, he never got to see me explore my creative or entrepreneurial sides. I am so blessed to share this experience with my mom.8.
DC!!! Now I did not get to spend extra time in DC this time. But I did really enjoy seeing parts of town that I’d never experienced before. I got to see some of the residential areas which was nice.9.
The community! Chasing Joy events provide great opportunities for networking and finding new like minded friends. To keep the connections going there is Facebook Group for people who have attended Chasing Joy Events. If you have, and want to stay connected with other attendees click here.10. The hashtag! Now that the event is over I have enjoyed searching the #CJBL hashtag on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to see all of the photos and what everyone was saying online during and after the event. Speaking of the Hashtag, we have a winner!!!! There was a special Giveaway that would be chosen at random from the people who tweeted or posted to Facebook or Instagram using the hashtag.
The winner is (drum roll!!!!!) Crystal Long!!!
