Grateful for Social Media

I thought I would keep today’s post a little light (well, sort of) and short.

As you’ve heard me mention, I stumbled upon the world of social media a little less than a year ago.  I started simply with Facebook, to catch up with old friends and maybe meet some new ones.  Several months after that I began to realize what an impact social media can have on my business.  I am now active  on Twitter, Savor the Success, and Twittermoms.

I love social media for so many reasons!  Personally, especially with Facebook, I have re-connected with long lost friends–from grammar school, high school, and college.  Honestly, people I probably never would have had the opportunity to see again.  What I am amazed at is how much I am re-learning about these people.  I am so excited for the “new” relationships with them that I am creating.  It is honestly fascinating and incredibly heartwarming.  My heart is full of gratitude when I think about it!

From my business perspective, social networking is invaluable! I am meeting people and learning from them each and everyday.  Not to discount traditional networking, but I have to be honest it has been a piece of cake to find like-minded people virtually.   Of course, that doesn’t take away importance of “P2P” (person-to-person & traditional networking) as my friend MJ of Positive Impact Consulting says, but what a great tool to add to your marketing toolbox!

There are so many social networks out there.  I encourage you to spend sometime online to find the one that’s right for you!  You will be amazed at who you find or who finds you.

To all of my friends new and old on all of my networks–I thank you, cherish you, and look forward to being on a journey with you.

In gratitude,
