Feel free to tweet me or find me on facebook if you need a shoulder or just want to talk. One of the hardest points for me to learn in my personal balance was that it is important to take care of myself as well or better than I take care of everyone else. For many years I would push and give and end up feeling bankrupt and empty. It was only when I gave my self permission to take care of myself and sometimes saying NO to people that I felt stronger and richer. If it is not too overwhleming, please keep coming back here to watch the saga unwind..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825837451589662852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301478719841704679.post-32369176873896957362008-12-13T19:09:00.000-05:002008-12-13T19:09:00.000-05:00@ron, thanks for the congrats, considering your hi...@ron, <BR/>thanks for the congrats, considering your history, it is very generous of you.

I'm happy that you won Chris Pirillos contest. He banned me for no reason from the contest, I couldn't explain the feeling I had when that happened. I had 33 comments on day one, on day two I had 78 then someone reported my article as plaguerized and they deleted my comments without checking, then they found out I didnt and they put me back in and I had to get my comments back, in one night I had 72 comments, I feel I would have won but I argued with the mods and they banned me. I'm happy that someone like you won though.CPATANK REVIEWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596096483770051074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301478719841704679.post-25833068516172065332008-12-12T14:40:00.000-05:002008-12-12T14:40:00.000-05:00I saw you over on #sugarmagic.

I'll be honest with you, I followed you because you had the word "rogue" in your twitter ID, which is my brother's bird's name and I have a soft spot for him in my heart. Weird way to choose someone to follow, I know. But, when I read your post on bridges, I was so glad for my quirky, random decision-making process. I agree that you can never know how one interaction, one networking opportunity will impact you or others. The point is to take advantage of them and watch where they'll lead. I have been so fortunate to meet such amazing people. I went to a tweet up last night—my first one where I met amazing individuals right here in my area that are not only about personal and professional success, but are all about improving the community. I found myself in the midst of people I can partner with to give back as well.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long comment. I really liked your post. And, last but not least, major CONGRATULATIONS on winning the contest! I read your plans for sharing the product.

Since I was blessed with the gift, I do not get "bonus points" for doing what comes naturally- it is just a responsibility for living kindly on the earth. I get bonus points for doing things outside of my comfort zone- like knitting or sewing ;-) Since this is outside of your comfort zone, you get many kudosAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825837451589662852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301478719841704679.post-72749703334464478212008-12-12T06:22:00.000-05:002008-12-12T06:22:00.000-05:00@DeeDee jumper cables works as well as a metaphor...@DeeDee jumper cables works as well as a metaphor.

He's known at the university where he works as "The guy who knows a guy..." I admire his natural knack at connecting with people, chatting with them, learning about them, sharing himself, and putting wheels in motion where there was inertia.<BR/><BR/>That's a really valuable and, to me, desirable quality. It's not innate, to be sure. I respect that in him, and in you. Fabulous post. Looking forward to staying connected with you here and through twitter (christinamira). :)Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539675597142187638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301478719841704679.post-36090425536040780892008-12-12T01:05:00.000-05:002008-12-12T01:05:00.000-05:00Congratulations!

I loved reading this, and thought of instances when I have been a bridge (only I called myself jumper cables LOL) I like connecting people. Great book on the subject is The Go-Giver by Bob Burg.
