It is without a doubt that we walk hand in hand through ActiveRain to many social media sites. For one,we comingle around these sites with the solid fact that we will make connections with many others whether it be to reconnect with family, friends or to make new acquaintances and business connections. Sooner or later we meet face to face or at the very least converse on the phone across oceans and miles nationwide and to other countries.
I had an epiphany when ‘traveling' through cyberspace while learning the ins and outs of blogging on ActiveRain and then hopping across the social media universe. The transparency of ‘self' was the focal point of this whole blogging thing and while being ‘social' on all sites. It was this transparency that brought me success.
We all have read many a ActiveRain Success Story here and the first year of my time on ActiveRain I wrote my first one One Year in ActiveRain: Time & Effort Equals Success.
The one thing I believed ‘back then' and still do today is what I stated in that post........
"If it is one thing I have respected are the people who did not change in spirit and in soul along their pathway to blogging freedom and remained themselves......
....The ones who have written from the heart and let their whole persona shine through."
Now, 3 years later of being an ActiveRain Member and I had another realization come to life through another's passing. I may not be able to muster as much time to write many blogs here although my heart is here each and every day. I attribute my hard work and effort to apply what I learned on ActiveRain in my business model and I bonded with my peers and made astounding connections and friendships.
It is because of those connections I made here on ActiveRain that I went out to mingle on other sites like Facebook to stay connected with those friends I made here on ActiveRain. Without that transparency and bonding I may not have found out about my dear friend Carole Provenzale's passing.... Proof that we did not have to meet face to face to form a friendship that spanned over three years on ActiveRain. I know this to be true.....because my heart aches.
Write from your own thoughts and creativity with conviction, passion, integrity, honesty and respect.
In turn receive business, connections and awesome friendships .....
This is the Power of ActiveRain.
