  • 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…)

    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…)

  • Taking the Towel to the Beach

    beach-and-laptop1You know the old saying, “I am throwing in the towel.”  Instead of doing this, I am going to take the towel to the beach this week. My son is on spring break and I also need a break very badly. I am exhausted by all the doing, doing, doing in these past six months to restructure my real estate business. I got inspired by the #iloveyou on facebook and twitter yesterday and it reminded me of a prayer day that my sister started last year.

    She called it “Blanquita Day”.  It was the beginning of my financial and simultaneous health meltdown. I was talking to my friend, Gisele yesterday about the meaning of karma. What is good karma or bad karma.  Wikipedia’s definition  is:  Sanskrit for act, action, performance….concept of action or deed in Indian religions.

    My interpretation in English is that karma is simply an action or choice. I would then deduct from this that good karma would be a good action/choice and bad karma would be bad action/choice. We all have made both. It is part of being human.  Hopefully, after learning from our experiences we can start to make better choices. (more…)
