A Country Gal’s Dream
I am very geeky by nature. I love computers and love to learn. I also want very much to be successful in what I do. I think that’s one reason why going to the Blogher conference has been such a big dream of mine ever since I started blogging. To be in a room full of bloggers just as passionate as I am is very exciting to me. Knowing that they know SOOO much more than me is a little intimidating but inspiring. Of course the shopping will be pretty cool assuming I have some spending money from the nice little giveaway at mamaspeaks;) (HP ROCKS!!)
Anyways, when you don’t graduate from high school, you always feel unworthy or well….stupid when setting out to accomplish something bigger than you may or may not be ready for. Most people don’t even try but not me. I try hard because I want to be successful for me; but mostly for my parents. I’m sure you can only imagine how they felt when I quit school, how humilated they were, how ashamed they may have felt. I think about it all the time and they are 2 big pieces of motivation that drives me reach for success. So that they can be proud.
Okay, I’m done here. Off to watch a little TV. You know, my niece has one of those tv mounts. I’m thinking that would be handy to keep little man’s hands off!
hope you have fun at the conference!
I am sure you will learn a bunch. Have fun. and don’t forget your camera and note pad.

My daddy dropped out at 8th grade; mom graduated HS. Both are so much ’smarter’ than me, the one with all the degrees! I think that’s one reason I like your site; it just sings “Lori is a go getter!”
I’m a teacher by profession (reading/writing) and I’ve edited/proofed a *lot* of work. Shoot me an e-mail if you ever want an outside opinion (for free - I’m not soliciting you).
I’d be happy to send my resume, just so you know I’m not a nut job.
I am so happy you are going! Did you get my twitter message about some questions I had for you? I think you will do great and inspire as well as be inspired!
You ARE amazing. You have accomplished so much and I’m sure your parents are very proud of you. And you are giving your sons a wonderful female role model to look up to as well!!

I must say that I am very proud of all that you have accomplished in the last 1 1/2 years. Lori the success you are having and will continue to have is well deserved and don’t let any jealous little $@!@#$# make you feel otherwise. You know the work you have put into your online ventures. You know all the hours spent writing, designing, studying, reading, and all of the sacrifices you made to get to where you are today. Having known you from pretty much the beginning I must say that watching your blogs evolve into what you have today has been a great ride. I know we haven’t had the occasion to talk much as of late(there sure is a TON of catching up to do) but I can say unequivocally that I have been blessed to know you and to be called your friend. Wishing your more success….God Bless
Your friend
