"Was I too old to have a voice or have something to contribute? Would I make a fool out of myself because of my lack of tech skills?" You're lucky to have had that experience.Thanks for sharing it. Like you said it's important to build connections, especially being a woman in a tech environment. You've certainly made my day. Thanks! Ruth Hi Irene,

We often do not tell people how important they are in our lives and they thought they were just being themselves. When I first looked at social media, my first thought was "I need a paper bag before I hyperventilate." I was lucky to have a friend to help me too. Now, I need to tell her. Thanks for the reminder.

I've found many wonderful people through Twitter and other networking platforms who have become friends, clients and collaborators. They are all people I never would have met through any other means.

This is the first time I`ve read your blog even though we`ve been connected on twitter for a while. I had a moment of OMG wow, she`s doing exactly what I`ve envisioned for my new business and had to smile. Cos, a year ago I wld`ve felt uh-oh competition, but since being on twitter and meeting the most amazing and supportive people, I too choose collaboration. Don`t you just LOVE that we are all connected in how we think and act! Tribes :) What a beautiful story and one that people who ask `why twitter` would do well to read. Chris Brogan is one of my favourite tweeters and I was pleasantly surprised to see his name at the end :) Thanks for sharing!

You've explained it beautifully here... imagine if you had *that* kind of on-going experience available to you every week, developing even deeper levels of trust? Creating that safe environment where the only agenda is helping each other, thereby gaining more for yourself than could be imagined, is one of the key concepts behind the groups I lead. When I look back at the success of my own business, I *know* it did not happen in a vacuum. It was the connection with many other biz owners that made the difference. For that reason, helping small biz owners/freelances create these kinds of relationships that support them in their success~while learning & applying spirit-centered techniques~has become a great passion. It's amazing how connecting people from all over the country eliminates the *competition* that is normally felt in networking groups. Thank you for sharing this great story!
