Then, we had connected over Facebook and grown to be close friends online, sharing much more than homeschooling stories. We had regularly watched each other's scopes and connected that way. Through Periscope, last fall, I had made friends with a small group of about 30 women that regularly broadcasted about their homeschool.
I almost felt like a celebrity! It was a lot of fun and I took many selfies with many moms! Many approached me because they had been following me on Instagram, my blog or on Periscope.
Įqually amazing was meeting so many of the women attending the retreat. We were asked to represent what it means to "be good to yourself". Little muslin squares made by each person that attended. I enjoyed discovering common things we have done in our homeschooling with Melissa! Having corresponded with Julie and watched many of her Periscopes broadcast, it was truly a great pleasure to be able to see, hear, and talk with her in person. I personally didn't attend any of the workshops since I was presenting mine during the 2 sessions, but I was able to attend the main talks from Julie and Melissa Wiley.
