True story!!

Did you laugh out loud? Or at least smile? Cuz it’s true isn’t it?

Some of my very best friends live in my computer! And I’ve been so incredibly blessed to have some of those friends become In Real Life friends!

Last year (in)courage had this “crazy” idea to take community off the computer screen and bring it into our homes … IRL. Crazy? Or God-directed? You be the judge.

Almost 2,000 women connected last year … and lives, hearts, and relationships were changed because of it.

Last year when (in)courage asked for women to host an event in their home, I stepped out in faith, signed up, and walked away blessed!

If you didn’t get a chance to attend, or host an event last year … never fear! Cuz guess what? It’s happening again!

Registration opens Monday January 14th at www.inrl.us
It’s FREE!
Here’s the BRAND-NEW-EVERYONE’S-INVITED-TRAILER

Important deets:

• About: (in)RL was born out of two years spent listening to women in the comments at (in)courage craving local, real life community. Derived from the social media acronym “IRL” or “in real life,” (in)RL is an invitation to share what we’ve learned about community and encourage women with stories and suggestions for connecting deeper in real life.
  
• When: The (in)RL webcast kicks off on Friday, April 26 and (in)RL meetups follow on Saturday, April 27.
• What: Last year we explored the nitty gritty of community. This year we’re taking a closer look at what it takes to stay rooted in community when sometimes just walking away would be so much easier and tons more convenient. Women share stories of how they’ve chosen to stay through hard marriages, challenging parenting, worthwhile friendships. How choosing to stay has freed them more fully and unexpectedly than if they’d cut and run.

Fun deets:

• Everyone who registers on the day registration opens (Monday, Jan 14) gets a copy of our (in)courage 365 Daybrightener while supplies last (US residents only).
• Everyone gets a copy of our first eBook: “Best of the Beach House 2012.”
• Think of it as a FREE girl’s weekend away that doesn’t require packing or plane tickets, where women can kick off any expectation of perfect, set aside their fears, their shyness, their worry that they’re not good enough, and find some of Jesus’ words of rest woven into every video shared here.

I’ve signed up to bring the beach into my home again this year and would be honored to have you join me! Sign up is easy-peasy … after you’ve registered, just follow this link and add your name. Hope to see you in April! {I’ll keep you updated right here with more information as the time draws closer!}
