Chasing Joy Brunch & Learn August Recap #CJBL

It is amazing how after months of planning, preparing, posting, and praying about an event it can come and be over so quickly.  The Chasing Joy Brunch & Learn took place this past Saturday at the Maggiano's in King of Prussia PA.  I can't believe it has come and gone so quickly.  The Brunch was absolutely awesome.  I won't even attempt to give you a play by play as I could not do it justice.  However I will share with you some of the highlights.

The speakers were great.  Janeane Davis (left) and Erika McDaniel (right) left us feeling inspired and wanting more.  I felt bad to have to interrupt the Q & A section of both ladies to keep to our scheduled.  They came prepared to inspire and motivate us on how to look and feel joyful.

The giveaways and gift bags from the Brunch Sponsors made the event so much more fun.  It was especially awesome to have representation from Dressbarn Gateway Shopping Center in attendance with lots of clothing for Erika to use as part of her presentation.
We played a few networking games to everyone acquainted. Everyone wanted to keep talking after the two minute mixers were done.  The winners of both the "Joy" game and People Bingo were about business.

The success or failure of any event lies with the attendees.  The Chasing Joy Brunch & Learn attendees are amazing.  They include bloggers, entrepreneurs, and women who just want to focus on having a happier more joyful life.  They came ready to make new friends and have fun.  It was certainly all smiles at the #CJBL Brunch.  
We were live Tweeting, and Facebooking, and Instagraming throughout the brunch.  Here are a few of my favorite postings.
