I have been a blogger for four years as of this month and in the last several weeks I have had the pleasure of watching my son become a micro blogger in his own right on Instagram<\/a>.<\/strong> I knew that my son was a wonderful artist with a big heart, but was unprepared for just how creative he could be.\u00a0 He was chosen to represent a major resort brand as a teen advisor, and the whole family went to Turks and Caicos with him to enjoy the sun and sand, get a much needed vacation from a stressful homeschool\/law school year, and of course, support him on his first major project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever I thought about how blessed we were, I quietly thanked God for everything that he had done for him and for us. <\/strong> It wasn\u2019t hard to stay inspired in the breathtakingly beautiful Turks and Caicos. You could look around you at the wonders of nature, the friendly resort guests and staff from all over the world, and the crystal clear turquoise ocean water and find plenty to reinforce your faith without even opening the Bible (we still brought one just in case). But when the trip drew to a close, and we headed to the airport, we found ourselves dragging ourselves through check in, eventually joining the slow line of forlorn travelers who were headed back to homelands not nearly as heavenly as Turks and Caicos. We were among those travelers not eager to leave paradise.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As soon as we boarded the plane, I heard it\u2026. the screech that would cause a three hour flight to feel like an eternity. <\/strong> As much as I hoped that the scream\u2019s origin was further up in the aisle, and we only heard it so vividly because baby cries in an airplane tend to have a surround sound effect, alas\u2026 I was wrong\u2026 My seat 33A\u2026 his seat 33B\u2026 oh\u2026 the baby is across the aisle with her dad\u2026 still screaming, but not right here.\u00a0 *Ding*\u2026 \u201cPlease fasten your seatbelt, put your tray tables and chairs in their upright positions, and prepare for departure.\u201d Overlay that announcement with continuous screams and screeches mixed in with a splash of wailing for variety, but still, at least across the aisle. Wait. Is he passing this baby to\u2026. No. No! Nooooooooooooooo! 33C. @#$%.<\/p>\n

Baby looked to be about 10 months old, so as I mom, I quickly calculated that this was going to last just up until nap time<\/strong>. No way this kid could stay awake through a three hour flight.\u00a0 To stop the crying, the mom gave baby a pacifier\u2026 whew\u2026 wait. No. No! Nooooooooooooooo! It was a ring pop. Yes\u2026 you read it right. Ring. Pop. Aren\u2019t those basically like giant diamond cut rings made out of brightly colored candy? I thought so. So there will be no sleep for this kid\u2026 or for us for that matter. @#$%. This was going to be a longer flight than I thought.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were breaks in the crying that we thoroughly enjoyed, however brief, but they were few and far between, and the peace was inevitably broken by a high pitched squeal, loud enough to make you feel like you were having several tiny heart attacks \u2013 especially if you drifted off to sleep, which we did a few times. <\/strong>It can only be described as jarring.\u00a0 My earphones? Packed in a suitcase most likely. He had his earphones in his pocket. So we shared a pair of earphones and he created the \u201cCrying Baby on a Plane\u201d playlist on my husband\u2019s laptop.\u00a0 He had already loaded several great albums, so we had all the music we needed.<\/p>\n

Once the playlist was created, and we tapped \u201cplay,\u201d we each had an equal dose of wailing in one ear and music in the other. <\/strong>We had a great mix of oldies like James Brown\u2019s \u201cI Feel Good,\u201d upbeat party songs like Owl City\u2019s \u201cGood Time,\u201d and favorites like One Republic\u2019s \u201cGood Life.\u201d We also had inspirational selections from artists like Mary Mary and Lecrae.\u00a0 Eventually smiles creeped across our faces, as our focus switched from the baby that we could hear going off in one ear, to music that ensured us that everything was going to be okay, in spite of our current situation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We were having such a great time with the playlist, swaying to familiar tunes, and mouthing the words to our faves, we didn\u2019t even notice that baby had passed out. <\/strong>Soundly sleeping\u2026 sugar crash.\u00a0 Looks like the mom knew what she was doing after all. \u00a0Eventually we got to chatting with the mom, who was actually a very cool woman, about everything from fishing to watersports, and how she recognized Evan from Instagram.\u00a0 I realized after I had listened to enough inspiring music that it wasn\u2019t the baby that was the issue \u2013 babies cry \u2013 that\u2019s like\u2026 their \u201cthing.\u201d \u00a0My vacation was over, and I was annoyed. \u00a0I am usually a very optimistic person who can find beauty and promise in just about anything, but there are times that I need a little boost, so staying inspired on the go is a must.<\/p>\n

AT&T Inspired Mobility is a conversation about how people are using Internet and mobile technology to enhance their inspirational experience. <\/strong>If it weren\u2019t for my husband making sure that he stays inspired with great music, we would have been in for some serious mental turbulence on that flight.\u00a0 I was really glad that he was willing to share.\u00a0 We don\u2019t only look for inspiration from the pulpit and the pews, we use personal computers to smartphones and tablets. The way people are experiencing inspiration, in houses of worship, at home or on the go, is changing. We live tweet sermons, take notes on tablets, live stream services, access apps for studying, and pay tithes online.\u00a0 People make AT&T products and services a part of their lives, and we share how those experiences impact users with AT&T Inspired Mobility<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year, one of the events that AT&T will sponsor to continue the Inspired Mobility<\/a> conversation, is Blogging While Brown in Austin, Texas June 19-20.<\/strong> We will hear from Lecrae, an extremely popular rap recording artist who inspired by his faith to share music that uplifts and inspires. We will also get insight from Valorie Burton, a bestselling author, speaker, and life coach dedicated to helping people get unstuck and be unstoppable in every area of life. \u00a0James Andrews will share how he connects to his faith and shares his experiences with mobility, a huge part of how he stays connected while on his global treks. Jason Caston, internet church strategist, digital platform strategist and developer for The Potter’s House of Dallas (T.D. Jakes Ministries) and an avid blogger on digital ministry,\u00a0and L. Michelle Smith will also return to the conference after a successful panel discussion last year, and also host a series of Google Hangouts around the Inspired Mobility <\/a>discussion.<\/p>\n

I will board a plane and head to Austin to join fellow bloggers of color at the conference, and I will definitely be prepared this time with my own \u201cCrying Baby\u201d \u2013 \u201cChatty Neighbor\u201d \u2013 \u201cScary Turbulence\u201d \u2013 \u201cSnoring Passenger\u201d playlist. <\/strong> Sometimes I need that reminder that despite what is going on around me, whether I am on the ground or thousands of feet in the air, everything is going to be okay.<\/p>\n

Follow the #inspiredmobility hashtag to see how myself and others stay inspired on the go.\u00a0 I will be live tweeting from the sessions, so be sure to follow me at @socamomdc to get all the latest information on AT&T\u2019s Inspired Mobility initiative.<\/strong><\/p>\n
