Stagers, Minneapolis, and friends from A/R - who knew?

This week my business partner in StagersLIST.com Terrylynn and I spent some quality time training and talking with a fantastic group of Stagers who came together from across the country. It was a full agenda and the content was intense, but we did find some time just to hang out over dinner or before we caught the shuttle in the morning to chat and catch up. 

I always find it interesting to be around seasoned Stagers who have successful businesses and are willing to share their thoughts and successes.

Some of the Stagers we met are members of Active Rain, but it it took a day or two for me to realize that I actually talk to them all the time on their blogs and recognized, with some help, their photos from Active Rain! 

Once I made the connection I realized that they sound just like their blogs! I know that sounds silly but its true. Just to make sure I went on tonight to read and comment on some - it's amazing. I guess it makes sense.

Long before I talk to Elaine on the phone I knew she would be fun and interesting because of her blogs - so true!

Lori Kim Polk  - the very same, on her blogs high energy and sweet - in person just the same.

One of these days I am hoping to meet Fernando - he is just a kick!

We are flying home tomorrow (Friday) which I am looking forward to as I miss my husband, daughter and my three dogs. Also, I have a few clients who would like me to stay home for a while. But I have to say it was a great trip and even better since I made so many in person connections with so many people from across the country and here on A/R.
