A Twitteringly Good Year

This year (just over 12 hours remaining), I decided to ignore getting business and just to explore Social Media for fun.

Everybody was talking about it and I was curious and curiosity if one of the key requirements of NLP.

NB Curiosity isn’t killing this Cat.

I have enjoyed learning so much!
Social Media, after all is said and done, is people and behaviour and emotion and ……..

From 300 Twitter friends to over 11,500, I have made some fabulous friendships along the way and have learnt the value of

Openness
Randomness
Supportiveness
the prerequisites of all relationships that work well and key to social media.

Happy New Year!

News Year’s Resolution–being Resolute

adjective:
determined, set, firm, dogged, fixed, constant, bold, relentless, stubborn, stalwart, staunch, persevering, inflexible, purposeful, tenacious, undaunted, strong-willed, steadfast, obstinate, unwavering, immovable, unflinching, unbending, unshakable, unshaken a decisive and resolute international leader, weak, doubtful, unresolved, undecided, unsteady, undetermined, irresolute

As we step into 2011, many will want to Change:
change habits, appearance or other behaviours and then by end January, or soon after, the desire to change will seemingly go away.

This probably happens because the foundation for change is not established before the action takes place.
It seems to me that having reasons to Change, is not a good start and using behaviours like Will Power just doesn’t work!
It’s a Double Whammy:
confronting the issue by behaving in a way that is not normal for the person who is trying to change.

How would it be if there were no reason to change?
Just like choosing a chocolate from a chocolate box or a piece of fruit from a fruit bowl -
choosing something because you fancy it.

So whatever, you fancy doing, enjoy choosing it and stop using determination, being set, being firm, being dogged, being fixed ……………………………….

Whatever you resist will persist, so be kind to yourself and enjoy your new year

Police try to unlock riddle of landscape architect's final hours - Crime, UK - The Independent

URL: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/police-try-t...

I have never been involved in a Missing Persons case before.

I was using Twitterfall when the trending topic arose and I followed through to the web site that the police had set up. Hence I got involved.

My sympathy goes to Joanne's family.

There now appears to be such a mystery and what is more concerning, links to other cases and so it is important to raise awareness in any way we can.

I wish good fortune to Joanna's family and to the police and sincerely hope that everybody acheives closure as soon a possible
