Somehow this seem to fit today as I was participating in a conference virtually. While I wanted to be in Miami for GreatIdeas '09, it wasn't possible physically.

However, thanks to the Internet and Twitter I was able to gain value from the participants who WHERE there as they shared their insights.

Together we were able to discuss many of the issues facing non profit associations and how to address those issues in creative ways.  Plus I created a stronger network of colleagues who have very creative and wonderful ideas!

Thank you!

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom

I couldn't help be think of flowers blossoming in the spring time while I watched these jellyfish swim.  I could have watched them for hours in their gracious beauty.  This was taken while attending MeetDifferent in Altanta.  The opening reception was at the Georgia Aquarium

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
