Have you ever been in a rut where you feel like you can't move forward or don't have inspiration for new ideas? I was starting to feel that way. Recently, I was able to spend time with a friend where we just took our cameras downtown and had fun. We ended up giving ourselves a self assignment of finding something that represented Martin Luther King Jr., (Since it was Monday MLK Jr., Day). While looking for leading lines, light and inspiration, we stumbled across a bench with words, we found the word Dream. We were thrilled, turning around we found a mural where someone used chalk and made a multicultural drawing with the word Dream on it. Finally we turned the corner and found sculptured hands that were in the shape of sign language letters spelling out...yep you guessed it "Dream"...!! Pam finally realized we were standing at a park dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr.,!
Taking the time to breath, saying a little prayer for renewed energy this day was a gift!
Last Friday, I was able to attend a conference about all the Social Network Options and learned how to utilize: Facebook, Blogging, Twitter, Linked-in, and You Tube. They mentioned that these sources will be more popular than email.
Facebook: A great source for connecting with friends, sharing photos
Twitter: Quick blasts where people tweet news about themselves.
Blogging: A place to share ideas and promote what you know or can be used as a diary
Linked-in: Considered a professional site, used for information that may be used someday to replace resumes. Getting recommendations on this site can be used as letters of recommendations. Use a professional photo on this site.
You Tube: A great way to promote visual learning.
I will share more about these networks, my journey and new ideas in future blogs.
I can't believe this is the last week of January, 2011. Enjoy!!
