    A Christmas Wreath Made By My Friend Daniela

    2009 has been an interesting chaotic year. As 2010 approaches, I look back at all the challenges of this year and observe that in the midst of them, many opportunities came my way. I had set an intention two years ago to follow my dreams. While I am not exactly where I really want to be, I have made great strides in getting closer to them.

    I am grateful for the many new connections I have made through Social Media all over the world and the abundance of new found friends I have made through local tweetups. I can honestly say that  it has been an experience of expanding my universe in a way that I never expected. By sharing, listening to others stories and making humor of life, going through the process of change has made it easier. (more…)

    I was recently sharing my work/projects updates about my new potential prospects for my Social Media work with one of my best friends.  We are very similar in our analytical approach to getting things done.

    Because of my willingness and self motivation to invest many hours in learning all of this, I am reaping the rewards of this time and effort by creating a new way to make income. I believe the best motivation comes from being inspired. (more…)

  • Who Am I?

    Busines CardsOne of my best friend that I mentioned in this post said to me last month that she was worried about my twittering.  She was afraid that it was becoming an obsesssion. She obviously doesn’t “get” twitter and now she is asking me how to twitter. My first tweet was in December after I moved my real estate office to my brother’s location to save on expenses. I was 100% focused on getting bank listings at the time. I have been mainly working from my home.

    My home is a quiet space. I rarely turn on the TV. To take breaks during the day, I go out to my butterfly garden or put on some music and start exercising on my stationary bicycle and Pilate’s or simply go to the gym.  Because of Twitter and my fascination with technology, I connected with new and interesting people. I am following a lot of people that probably will never follow me and I really don’t care. I only look at my new followers about 1 x per week. (more…)

  • Social Media & Embracing A New Identity

    In the last month of my shift in my new work, I have been attending different local networking events geared to technology. I have found them through my local twitter connections. One was a pizzatweetup created by @lapp.  Over 70 people attended to enjoy the face to face company of our online connections. There was no specific talk. It was simply to connect. That is  really what the whole Social Media is about.

    In the last weeks, I called a couple of my newfound techie twitter friends as I was trying to embrace my new job description. I am hired to do a job that really is not clearly defined. That is what was said in another meeting I went to this week.  No one is a real Social Media Expert because it is so new. It was at the Association for Women in Communiciations.(AWCS). (more…)
