Well, I finally did it. I created an official Company Girl community on BlogFrog yesterday! You might have noticed the widget in the right sidebar.
I'll admit I've been reluctant to create any kind of official online group...mostly because I've been afraid it would take too much time to set up and moderate. I've worried that creeps would lurk around and that I'd have to kick people out. And to be honest, I didn't feel like the world needed another online forum.
You are already aware that I over-think things, right? This, again, proves it.
But then I realized: We're already a group! I've never had to kick anyone out and I've always been blessed by the incredible mix of women who take the time to be part of Home Sanctuary and the Company Girls. You girls are fun, you love your families, you encourage each other, you lead interesting lives, you are fun....how could creating a community be anything but GOOD!
And I think I have a tiny little vision for what a little community could do. See, I'll bet each one of us has some kind of "thing" that we want to do in the world. I know there are a couple of Company Girls who are writing (or want to write) Bible Studies. Some of you have Etsy shops or have a home-based business. You are writers, artists, bakers, homemakers, crafters, scrap bookers and dreamers. Not only can we connect as friends, but we can help each other follow our dreams and make them a reality.
The first step is to have a good way to make those connections with one another. Don't stop coming here, please! But by adding a forum and blog community, we can easily find one another and start sharing. From there, let's just see what happens! I'd love to see social networking work for US...a little group of gals who can come together to make something good happen.
Today's Small Thing is to simply check out our BlogFrog Community and, if you feel like it, join in. If an online community is not your thing, that's perfectly OK. There is no pressure! I look forward to seeing you there.
POINTS: 40 for popping over to the Company Girl Community. I hope you'll join in, but even if you don't, go ahead and take today's points. So easy!
PS I'm a Heating Pad Evangelist!
