Be You (Everywhere)

I've been taking a social media university course with David Riklan (which is very good by the way), and at first I thought I don't really like this Twitter thing at all. Then Warren Whitlock one of the instructors shared how it's not about getting a huge following, it's about making real connections with other people. That totally flipped the lightswitch for me and I've been loving Twitter ever since. I went out and searched for people with similar interests to me and found some really cool people online. I'm so excited now and feel connected to the people who I'm following and who follow me.

I've also been having a hard time lately writing regular blog posts. I was not feeling the inspiration and couldn't quite put my finger on what was off. I finally realized that I was trying to be witty and wise instead of being me and sharing what I've learned. So the big takeaway for me was, whether I'm on Twitter or writing my blog, having lunch with a friend or holding the door for a stranger, all I have to do is show up as me (everywhere)! That's all any of us really wants anyway - a real connection with a real person. In the end, who really wants to be friends with the perfect person who never makes any mistakes, won't talk about anything real in his/her life and doesn't need our help? My posts from now on will be about me, what's going on in my life and what I've learned from it. Me, pure and simple :)
