I try to be very honest hear on Chasing Joy. I make an effort to say what I truly feel and fight my urges to sugar coat things or to be overly concerned with other people’s feelings. I say all of this to emphasize that other than being a little more open, because I am writing as opposed to speaking, I am the same online and in person. As I have become more and more comfortable with blogging more people who know me personally also read my blog. None of them are ever surprised at what they find on Chasing Joy. Ok pleasantly surprised that they like it maybe, but no jaw dropping shock at anything they read here. My online persona is the same as who you see in person.
But If you don’t believe me feel free to find out for yourself. Or if you do believe me but are curious about, how tall I am, how I dress, or how I style my hair, here is your chance to see for yourself. I have been invited to Blog About It! And guess what, you are invited too. Blog About It, is a networking event for bloggers & their followers. I am honored to have been invited to represent Chasing Joy. As Joy Chasers all of you are invited as well. If you will be in the Philadelphia area on Friday March 23rd, 2012 please join me at Venue, 4605 (4605 N. 6th Street, 19140) at 8:00pm. Admission is $10. There will be a DJ, some refreshments, and giveaways! It should be a Joyful time.
Now while I am thrilled at the thought of hanging out with you Joy Chasers in person. I am a bit nervous. This is the first time I am being asked to represent my blog in person. Now Chasing Joy is my blog and my brand and as I said above it is Me. So I know I am representing it all the time. But somehow this feels different. I know I’d feel much more relaxed with some of you by my side 🙂
What advice can you give me for representing my blog at an event for the first time? If you blog or have a small business or something similar what was it like when you first represented your brand in person to the public? And Who will be joining me at Blog About it???

Hi, You've got a great inspirational blog and I'm sure you did just fine 🙂 Did you do a post event recap, if you did please share the link.
So how was the event? How did you do? Though I'm sure you did well. Like you said, because you are the same both online and offline (congratulations by the way for that!), you really don't need tips. You simply be 🙂
I hope to meet you in person one day too 🙂

Just remember; every single person in the audience is there because they wanna' hear what you have to say. They are your online friends an' it's never difficult to talk to friends.
Congratulations for being asked to attend AND represent Chasing Joy at Blog About It! I wish you the best of luck tomorrow and that you find me with you in spirit as Philadelphia is a few hours away from me. If you feel a gentle tap and see no one, that was me 🙂
Just be yourself and bring some business cards to promote your blog.
Good luck! Just be yourself. That's all you can do! You'll do great. Have fun, be yourself and relax. 🙂
Just be you! People are drawn to you, thats why they read Chasing Joy! Rep your blog all day, everyday, you'll get more comfortable with the in person thing. Good luck! Wish I was near Philly!

You'll be fine! I've met you in person, you are the same! Have fun!!
That sounds like fun – wish I was in the area! Just be yourself. Maybe have some cheat notes if you need….
I think you will be fine because you are so real and inspirational on your blog that it will be easy to do it in front of people. Just think as if you are typing as you speak (does that make sense) good luck.
