Nicole Q.-Can’t wait to hear more. Meg God really is using you to influence others. I’m sure you keep asking “What are you doing with all this God” but how awesome to have a front row seat at His plan for your life.
I loved your comment on “women not talking to other women” – I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve said that – especially with our moves. Sometimes i want to scream . . . do i HAVE to be the one to initiate a conversation? I’m the new person here. AHHH!
Anyways – it’s exciting to see how God is using you.
Von-I haven’t read through all the comments but I think the consensus is: it had to be you. I’m new to “Whatever” and it’s now part of my daily browsing. I love the colour, the richness of your family life and the way you weave in your faith in a totally un-annoying manner. On ya!
Kirsten J-Oh how very cool – of course they wanted YOU!!! Don’t leave us hanging for too long – And. For the record? I always talk to people. My friend Debbie and I have traveled here and there, and she’s shy and quiet and I know I embarass her, but we’ve met the most interesting, kind, fun people, simply by my starting up a little conversation – love it 🙂
julia-mmmeeeegggggggg…you visited the mother ship…my frien-enemy…COCACOLA….{pause for sobbing}…..I…{gasp, pause, while I sob some more}……how could you go WITHOUT ME???
Kit-Megan, this is so awesome. I’m really really proud of you. Way to go, sister!
Christina-That is very cool!
And all those women rocking the Coke company must figure out how to keep the soda from expanding the bottoms of the women who drink it (diet…not an option). 😉
Dana D@BoysMyJoys-Oh my stars!
I’m just a hop, skip & a jump away from Atlanta!
You have to let us know when you’re headed back this way!
Looks like you have lots of southern readers!
🙂
Kat -Why wouldn’t they want you Meg?! You are amazing and inspirational in so many ways!!!
Sounds like it was one of those experiences that you grow from in lots of ways.
Time on your own has got to be a good thing, although I must admit I am not used to being on my own either, but I bet it was liberating?!
Good on you. You go girl!
Ruth Elder -ARGH! I live 7 hours away in Florida and I SO would have packed up my hubby and 5 kids just to have you take our pictures!
Judy -I LOVE your blog. I hope you had a GREAT time and felt VERY special, *’cause you are*
Tracy Fisher -I am so proud of you! -Tracy Fisher

Keri-I LIVE IN GEORGIA!!
I hope you enjoyed it. If you are ever back in Atlanta, you should go through the aquarium. Its awesome.
Kim-Jen
I went to a convention all alone in 2007, all the way across the country and I talked to the woman sitting next to me….and now we are good friends! Even though we have only seen each other briefly, but email and text often, I don’t know what I would do without that friend. Such good advice to talk to the person sitting next to you, you never know!
Susan -That is so great! What an honor for them to have a blogger with such heart, vision and creativity.
Cari -Is it weird that I was totally getting nervous for/with you as I read about you being alone?! Lol! I can totally relate!! But, you survived! Or so it seems since you’re able to blog about it. Ha! Our family traveled from Little Rock to Charleston, SC this summer and Atlanta was our stopping point. Loved it!
Jessica @ My Ardent Life-Oh, Meg! I live a little south of Atlanta – would have loved to have been a friendly face for you. (I know you haven’t met me exactly but I swear my face is friendly!) But all those other women look friendly, too. 🙂 Can’t wait to hear more about it!
Gevay -Go for you! I hope it was fun! I’m looking forward to your next post.
Jodi-I’ve lived in GA pretty much my entire life and I’ve yet to visit the World Of Coke… I know, random…
how AWESOME you got to go and experience something like that! So very cool. You were chosen for a reason. God knows. :o)
Also, I’m sure I’m supposed to know what else Coke does besides soda, but I can’t think of it. I’m sure when you write about it, I’ll think: “Oh YEAH!!” At least I better b/c I’m a GA girl, I should know these things…
Gemma-Wow Meg..Go you! Such an achievement : )
Gemma x
Heather Richter -So cool! A car service, that is POSH! I read part of the list of brands from Coca Cola…I wonder what a “Bimbo break” is?! I love their Mezzo Mix, we had that in Germany. Part orange fanta, part cola. You look fab in the pic. Can’t wait to hear all about it! 🙂

Lori-DANG!! And I was only about 45 minutes north at the time. AND my husband earns the bread and butter in the very same building for the very same company AND I blog AND they didn’t ask me. Shoot.
