The Joys and Sorrows of Follow Friday

Since I jumped on Twitter a couple years ago, I’ve enjoyed #FollowFriday. The concept of finding new people to follow and recommending people to others is fantastic. What better way to get the most out of Twitter than grow and enhance relationships? Meaningful conversations and helpful friends on Twitter brings me great joy. [Read more...]

Blogoshere’s Top Most Interesting People: Sunshine Diva

me3_biggerHer infectious smile caught my attention right away. Sunshine_Diva’s gravatar picture radiates kindness, and in talking with her, she is always polite, positive, and personable; the 3 P’s of Twitter. I look forward to visiting with her when we can connect. Her bio is so reassuring: “Coaching Women to Take the Limits Off By Living Fearless. Encouragement Diva. Entrepreneur. Non-Profit Strategist. Globe Trekker. Humanitarian. Christian. ” I would suspect she has a dog and a cat, as her last tweet begged the question (and made me laugh), “Why does my silly beagle love to eat the cat food and not her own food?”

Sunshine_Diva can be found on twitter at www.twitter.com/sunshine_diva and has a new website coming soon at www.takethelimitsoff.com that I am looking forward to reading. Sunshine_Diva is my next choice in our Blogoshere’s Top Most Interesting People!

Blogoshere’s Top Most Interesting People: ChiNurse

do no harmMaybe it was her gravatar picture on Twitter that grabbed my attention; a corner of her red hair and dark glasses. Her picture accompanied a tweet that was quite sarcastic and funny, but true. I was new to twitter, determined to make some good connections and @ChiNurse caught my attention. I don’t really like Chi Tea. I’ve tried to like it, but I stick to coffee. My mom is a nurse though, so I know that people in the medical field can be brutally honest and fairly witty. I read her Twitter bio which says, “BSN, RN with RA. Mom of Boy.Transplanted Iowan. Border Collies! Reading, Writing. Parrots, bird nut. Supporter of fellow humans. Generally curious. Genuine.”

I don’t know what BSN means, and I only have girls. I’ve even on occasion made fun of birding people, as my friend Rosanne can attest. (Sorry Rosanne) A quick trip to her blog, http://biggreybirds.wordpress.com/ and you know this person is genuine. A REAL mom.

moi2_biggerMost of all, I enjoy her tweets packed with 140 characters of funny stuff. I frequently laugh out loud or call to my husband, “You have to read this”. My husband has since followed @ChiNurse so he can read her tweets on his own. The most memorable tweets? Removing stitches from her dog’s unmentionables on the couch and being nearly scared to death by a bird flying out of a tree while letting her dog out. Yeah, they don’t sound as funny after I’ve killed the punchlines, but I assure you that @ChiNurse is one of our Blogoshere’s Top Most Interesting People!
