I agree phone or face-to- face is best but social media can definitely maintain and enrich friendships in-between those opportunities. When my husband was sick , social media was such a bonus because I didn't have the time or energy for a long conversation, but I loved reading the messages. Used in the right way, I think social media is a net plus in our lives -particularly as I facilitates meeting people like you!<br />GillyGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-65139637306275272052013-04-23T04:36:17.526-04:002013-04-23T04:36:17.526-04:00You are truly amazing Gilly!

While the twitter/facebook relationships helps me to meet people that I wouldn't have normally met (like your for instance) I think there is something to be said for picking up the phone and speaking with someone. Just hearing voices and connecting. <br /><br />I cherish knowing you and many of the people I met on Twitter, on Facebook and blogging. I look forward to meeting everyone and getting to know people better.<br /><br />I don't text much - as I find it annoying. I just need to take the time (like I dedicate time to blogging, or sewing, or whatever - to pick up the phone and talk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956044918626392909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-39166175357289433052013-04-16T20:04:15.399-04:002013-04-16T20:04:15.399-04:00Alli -You are an expert at facilitating real conne...Alli -You are an expert at facilitating real connections and I got to benefit from that. You may be in Australia but your warmth, makes it feel as though you are right next door! I would love to meet when you come to DC. In the meantime thanks for reading Brainstorm. I'm glad the posts about Israel inspired you to share your Israel trip with your kids. I'd love to hear some of them when you have time.<br />GillyGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-89859743897338712702013-04-16T19:58:09.698-04:002013-04-16T19:58:09.698-04:00Marin -You are very welcome.

It is a bonus that we can continue to keep in touch via Facebook even though we are continents apart. Please feel free to write to me in Hebrew. Together with my basic knowledge , Jonny's great grasp of the language and google translate, I will work out what you are saying! Good luck and let me know when you create a new design!<br />GillyxGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-25553891564489495962013-04-16T19:52:41.031-04:002013-04-16T19:52:41.031-04:00Lynn,

I was in Israel when I was 16 and following your journey has opened my children up to stories of when I was there many years ago. <br /><br />I love Social Media not because of the ease of broadcasting but how it has helped to facilitate real connections that I now value! That comes from more than a RT here and there but taking the time to connect and engage. <br /><br />I'm hoping that when I come home to DC in a few years I'll have the pleasure of meeting you in person!<br /><br />Best, <br /><br />AlliAllihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769926926155581133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-18445306372208164162013-04-15T23:23:24.862-04:002013-04-15T23:23:24.862-04:00Dear Gilly,

I am delighted and amazed at how our paths have crossed - and how we lived so close to each other! Funny, this cyberworld... or is it Destiny? I hope that we can meet one day in the not too distant future. I'll get out my best scone recipe to bring you a little bit of home...and a hug (no recipe needed)!

Who knew I'd meet someone with so much in common, from such different backgrounds, over the internet, only to find you right down the road from me! Now I am blessed to call you my friend!

I do consider us to be friends who have not yet met and I look forward to the day that we will. As I prepare for a transition to a new position in a new school, I am thinking quite a bit about ways of nurturing positive, appreciative relationships, taking the time to get to know those in my new school; their strengths, talents, and aspirations - learning to look at the world through the lens of positivity and to finding ways to deliberately build on strength. Your optimistic perspective, seeing blessing even in challenge, is a source of tremendous support to me. Thank you for the mention in this beautiful post. I am honored.<br /><br />Shira Leibowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455069027198504094noreply@blogger.com
