At a sudden-event yesterday, I was talking to someone who, like me, is relatively new to ‘the things’. He mentioned that many people had told him that ‘the things’ is the type of thing that will bring out whatever is deep inside you, whether it’s good or evil. I had never heard that before, but I thought it was interesting and probably true. This is related to the fact that last month I teased that I have something in the works professionally that I’m excited about.
Yeah treasures. Don’t you love uncovering one? I’ve spent the past hour delving into a blog I discovered tonight. I can’t even remember the trail that led me to it. It’s possible that you might even take a look and wonder why I’m so excited. But if you knew me, you’d quickly nod your head in complete understanding.
Think about when you meet someone with whom you seem to instantaneously connect. You start talking and it seems you relate on every topic. They say things that you’ve thought or said before. And they have a ton of great ideas on things that are near and dear to your own heart. Time seems to stand still when you spend time with them. That can happen online too.
I haven’t really met Nicoulas Kristof, Patrick Guntensperger etc and most likely never will, but their blog is chalk full of creative ideas, resources and inspiration that met me in so many places that are “me.” It was like I just returned from having coffee with a long-time mentor friend. How fun!
Now, unless you’re into writing, spiritual transformation, cooking, books, organization or photography, their blog may do nothing for you. That’s ok. But I wonder what blogs may have led to a similar reaction for you. Who do you follow that you enjoy like you would a friend, learn from like a mentor and connect with because they share similar views, interests and passions?
Technology makes our world getting more flat!
