Connected!

Oh. My. Goodness. All of a sudden I am more connected! More connected than I even knew possible. And I can FEEL how much more connected I will become as each day passes! Holy smokes technology is amazing. I love Twitter. I must admit, I was quite leary at first. Do I really need MORE text messages? Do I really need ANOTHER screen taking up my time? Well, the answer is, YES! I want EVERYONE to be on Twitter! How did I not know how awesome this was? I guess I just did not understand it. I now feel like I need to be an ambassador for Twitter! I am just learning about it and there is so much I do not know about how to use it fully but this I do know...I feel connected.

It isn't text messages coming in all day, which is what I thought it would be. I just click on that little bird and can read when I want to read and because the messages are so short it only takes a little time. I can click on links that I am interested in and ignore the others. But mostly, I feel connected to a larger movement of people who are working to change the world. WHEW! That is pretty damn awesome.

I have moments of feeling disconnected, feeling like I am just struggling alone. But now...I am learning and growing and being inspired by my PEOPLE! MY PEOPLE! I am becoming better! I am becoming more whole. It is pretty cool. I look forward to learning more and trying to convince others of the power and importance of being connected through an electronic medium that is NOT EMAIL. This blog entry is sloppy and not formatted. It is not pretty. But it is my stream of conscience and my excitement flowing out through my fingers. I will have to overcome my fear of not putting out the most perfect wording as I embrace the Twitter universe. Shold I really spend 5 minutes crafting the most eloquent tweet? Probably not.

I am grateful to the Florida District for bringing Peter Bowden to our meeting and encouraging us all to do better and jump in to this electronic pool with excitement. I am so excited! I look forward to using as many electronic ways as I can to reach as many people as I can because, damn it, what we got going on in the UU Church is powerful. Life changing, heart singing, happy joy joy joy, LOVE, fabulosity! We are where it's at and I am proud to be a part of it. Amen!
