Featured speaker Melissa Clodfelter
There has been references to "The Practice of Adaptive Leadership" by Heifetz, Grashow and Linsky.
There will be glitter glueing.
There has been sharing great questions. Like do you behave what you believe as you say you believe?
There is hopefully a few helpful answers.

Communion
Holy moments in places you didn't think could feel that holy.
The story of Hanna giving birth to Samuel and really saying "here I am" long before he is -not in words (thank you Erica for your thoughts!) but in action.
So here we are.

Wonderful Atlanta greeted us upon arrival. And after a ride on a Marta train and bus CC could breathe in a sigh of relief at Emory Inn. After traveling for 20 hrs or so, they needed that.
They did get online and found Suzanne and after a nice salad and wine (realizing there would be much hunger in the morning if not) and chat they crashed the Binder Party at room 220. The joy! There was filing and turning boring binders to wonderful conference ones and peeking in goodie bags until it was all time to go to bed.
Sunday morning was a day as good as any. Coffee and a muffin and CC were good to go. They did take a stroll down the road a mile or so to get some groceries. It was hot. Got back and rested for a short while before going to the mall. One has to have great shoes. NBCC did find great shoes. BCC got great other stuff.
Time for registration and the conference can start!

A challenging day
Challenge 1: Getting up. Hold on, not really, since neither NBCC (Non-Blonde Clergy Chick) or BCC (Blonde Clergy Chick) could sleep very well.
Challenge 2: Choosing a magazine to bring. Oh, the choices. Should one choose an arty—farty mag to prove one's cultural cred? Or maybe something ambitious and serious, like the Economist, to present oneself as good leadership material? Or the ever-so-ironic smut magazine? Ok, maybe not. Neither did we pick the Barbie magazine or the very stylish Danish interior design mag. The result: fashion mags. Yeah, we admit, the Clergy Chicks luv them glossy pages. And, as a bonus, there were scores of pretty magazines on the plane too. We only read the really serious ones, of course. Cross our hearts, we did!
Challenge 3: Being very good and kind, we of course volunteered to get bumped to a later flight, if SAS needed our seats. The 300 euro thank you-check had nothing to do with our willingness to help. The only thing we got from this un-selfish act was getting to board last. On our original flight. Without the 300 euros.
Challenge 4: Air conditioning on the plane. As bad as ever.
Challenge 5. Maneuvering the United customer ”service”. Ha.
Challenge 6: The Big Mac-munching female fashion crime against humanity, or at least fellow passengers, waiting across the row from us for the Atlanta flight. Seeing to much in spite of full coverage is apparently possible.
See? For these two Clergy Chicks, there is no such thing as a challenge to big. There are only possibilities. *cue smarmy smile*
Long journeys like this actually are great opportunities to for once get to talk about Bible interpretation, priestly formation, parish life and all those things that take a little too much time to fit into the daily life of picking up kids from school, cleaning dishes, writing sermons, spending too much time on facebook, etc etc.

Long time has passed since Clergy Chicks went a traveling together. But now order is restored.
In Sweden midsummer celebration is going on. But in the home of non blonde Clergy Chick packing replaces dancing around the pole singing about the poor frogs without ears and tail. Oh, the joy.
There are loads of expectations for the coming conference. Many happy reunions, many new aquintances and some serious inspiration coming up! Follow us here (and if you are a young clergy woman -do join the network) and do comment. We like questions, praise and an occational report from reality.

again on her own
So, blonde CC has been traveling again. And again without her less blonde soul sister. Blonde CC went souz to Germany, to visit friends and see some of ze cool Luzersites.
And of course to work a little too. Zere is no traveling wizout some work.
Berlin was nice. Sunny and fun. Productive and efficient.
Eisleben was also nice. Sunny and fun. And not efficient at all.
Next time, maybe blonde CC can lure her non-blonde sister to come wiz her? One does get ze funniest accent.
