#AWBU – Blogging with Purpose and Social Good

At the Arkansas Women Bloggers Unplugged conference, I had the pleasure of leading a discussion on blogging with purpose and for social good.  I thought I’d share some of what we discussed for those of you who are looking to inject some new energy into your blogging. The idea for this session came to me when I attended an overnight experiential learning program at Heifer Ranch called Global Village.  The Global Village has different  homes from … Read entire article »
