Google me!

Over the last 10 months I've had the chance to meet a lot of great people, individuals whose life stories and trials really impacted my life. I'm a firm believer that people are brought into your life for a very purpose, a reason that we might not understand at the time...but our lives in some way will be forever impacted by it...good or bad.

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with someone that I just met randomly thought networking and we started to talk about life and the directions in which our lives where headed. She said something to me that took me back for a second, made me think you have to be kidding because that's just impossible right now....Celebrate everything and leave nothing un touched...Celebrate everything? Everything? Celebrate when my gps took me the wrong directions? Celebrate when my day at work didn't go so well? Celebrate when I feel sick? Celebrate when you lose your best friend? YES! I never really thought about it that way but EVERYTHING happens for a reason...and it's not anything new but we may never understand the reason at the time, but the cool part about it is that we celebrate those times. Unknown and all....so I choose to celebrate!

Social media is a common word now days. Everyone knows about it, everyone is doing it and the majority of the people I know use it! It keeps us connected in more ways then I think a lot of us would like to be. We know what someone did over lunch, how their feeling today, what their work schedule is for the week, what they plan on doing over the weekend, how bad their kids behaved, how unhappy they are, when to pray for them, when to rejoice with them, when someone is sick or when someone has received the great news all is well....or when someone has passed away. We know it all. And we've lost the ability to really communicate with one another, picking up the phone and speaking from your heart. We've lost it. It's not a good thing, it's not something that we should be happy about...we should be embracing the moments that we get to see someone face to face, touch their hands or give them a hug, pray with them. Personally this is something that I fail to do, I rely on text, social media to be OK with how I communicate with people and that's not me! IT'S NOT and that's got to change!
