Mom's Advice...

Yes, I know, this weekend is Father's Day. But as I tried to imagine the advice my dad would give ladies attending Deeper Still: The Event all I heard in my head were groans, grunts, and sighs (he is a man of few words).

My mom, on the other hand, is the lady you see walking through the produce section at the grocery store, talking out loud. She actually looks pretty normal these days, except for the fact that SHE IS NOT WEARING A CELL PHONE on her ear! She is pretty much just talking to herself....yeah, you've probably seen her at a produce section near you!

Anyway, if you can envision a woman talking to herself that much, then you know she has great nuggets of wisdom to share with other women. Some of the wonderful advice I've picked up through the years includes:

Don't wear horizontal striped clothing. I don't think this advice applies to everyone, but I am only 5' 1" and so horizontals bring me down to 4' 5" or so.

(yeah...that's not me)

She, my mom, always recommends having extra undergarments as you pack for a trip. And, of course, always wear clean underwear--in case your in an accident or something. I've still not quite figured that one out. Then mom suggests other things that most of you have probably heard before--

Don't run with scissors...
Keep you arms and legs inside the vehicle...
Don't wake a sleeping baby...

(but look at that sweet little face...you just want to touch those precious cheeks and kiss that little head...)

Back to the advice from Mom...

The problem is, none of her advice really pertains to attending a large Christian women's event. Actually, my mom may be like many of you. When I stop to think about it, I don't know if she has ever attended an event as large as Deeper Still? Hum, I'll have to call her and ask.

Back to the subject. I do know many of you are veterans to these large events. We've had several of our bloggers, like Angie, already give suggestions related to construction around the Atlanta area and Angie also provided a website for a favorite restaurant she recommends for your dinner on Saturday evening after the event! So, if you have great advice for those attending Deeper Still in Atlanta, let's hear it!

And it is ok if you don't have advice that will help us manage our way around the arena or anything related to Atlanta Deeper Still. Let's hear the great words of wisdom from your momma about life!

(Just had to add one more favorite! Can't wait to hear your "mom's advice," but don't forget Father's Day this weekend!)
