Beechcon stands for: Blogging to encourage and equip Christian homeschoolers. The idea was conceived 3 years ago by Maggie Hogan (Bright Ideas Press) and Jenn (Daze of Adventure).
A select group of women (how on earth did I get included?) were invited to come and experience an idea and help determine if it was something that could become a conference in 2013.
I’m told the names were prayerfully considered. I believe it to be true for two reasons. First, how else would I have been invited if not for God intervening on my behalf?
The second reason is that the entire weekend was filled with God moments…and laughter…and chocolate…and exposed souls, joined hearts…and tons and tons of sharing. Real life sharing of marketing, SEO and business tactics.
Imagine your best friend taking you under her wing and telling you all her secrets. Yeah, it was like that. For real.
For me it was an opportunity to finally meet those I only knew online: Jimmie, Jolanthe, and Maggie.
Then, I had an opportunity to meet those that I should have known all along on line…and one that I cannot wait to get online (she is a new writer transitioning to starting a blog).
Stay tuned for more information about Beechcon and how you can make sure you don’t miss your opportunity to experience it. Because it’s not about forming cliques. It is about coming together.

It was great to meet you, Karin! I look forward to seeing you again at BEECH 2013! And, yes, Only God could bring together such diverse women.
