The best part of blogging is the in-real-life part. The days when the words you write become flesh and sit across from me at the coffee shop. Or when we walk together beside the surf with sand under our feet.
It's when we have to fight to keep our eyes open because we just don't want this day to end. The best part is when I can hear the voice behind the words and can squeeze your hand for real and not just type it out in a comment on your Facebook status.
God knew we'd need each other. He knew your words would stir things up in me and move me to live this life in a different way. And He knew you'd write your words out just the way you feel them, so that - when we finally get to meet in person - you are just the way I imagined you would be.
The best part of blogging is the in-real-life part. It's when you're passing through town on your way to a marathon, or a conference, or a business meeting and we steal one hour in the hotel lobby to chat. And we don't have to explain the blogging thing to each other.
The in-real-life part is the best part, and on April 28, real-life meetups will happen all around the globe. It's called (in)RL, and you're invited. You wouldn't want to miss it. Michelle and Erin and I are hosting a meetup here in Nebraska. If you're in the area, we'd love it if you'd join us. Starting at 11:00 AM, we'll be hanging out at Michelle's house, and I'd love to sit next to you on her red velvet couch.
The in-real-life meetups are sponsored by (in)courage. To register for our meetup, or for one in your neighborhood, just click here. The registration fee is $10, and includes a t-shirt. And, if the whole (in)RL thing confuses you, just shoot me an email and I'll walk you through it. You can reach me at jumpingtandem@gmail.com. Because we really want to meet you. In real life.
But don't just take my word for it. Stop by and see what Erin and Michelle have to say.
