If you are living in the age of social networking it only makes sense to have a blog for your non-profit or business. Sometimes I think that we have so many ways to "connect"with one another that we actually become more disconnected as a result of too many connections. We desensitize ourselves. We get so accustomed to hearing about Mary and Joe's day that we just don't read the status updates anymore. We take for granted that at any moment we can just click on their profile and see what they are doing. The problem though is that with our 300+ friends on each page, the chance of us taking two minutes out of our busy social networking life to click on Mary or Joe's personal page is pretty slim. It was difficult enough to manage the handful of friendships I had prior to social networking but now I have to manage all of my virtual friendships and the ones I have in reality. *sigh* This can get overwhelming.
I have started accounts on Facebook, Twitter, etc. I have designed a web page and set up a work email account and for some reason all of it still seems distant to me. I have met a lot of great people through those avenues and many of them motivate me every day. However, I still remain a pretty private person. The people closest to me know who I am and how I feel about various issues but even then I usually keep it brief.
The goal of this blog is to offer a more personal feel to this organization. Why I do this, why I started this and who and what keeps me motivated. I hope it inspires you and I hope it takes you away from the typical social networking day of reading status updates. I hope it makes you think and most of all I hope it motivates you to make a change. :)
