I subscribe to a recent Twitter friend's blog: Becoming Sunny (cute name, eh?). I get her updates in my email so I usually don't have to wait to see her Twitter announcement when it goes up- as was the case last night. I was reading along about how much she (Brooke Miller) loves Utah and her beautiful life here. Of course, this is something I love talking about so I continued reading. How surprising to suddenly find MYSELF mentioned! Not only myself, but two other people I enjoy: Jill from @geargals and my guy Steve @stephenwweiss.
I loved it. I loved reading good things about myself and about my friends from someone who herself is so full of positive energy and enthusiastic about life. So without further introduction, here is Miss Brooke and her kind words about others:
Beautiful Utah!
I have come to the conclusion that I absolutely love living in Utah! I feel far too lucky to be surrounded b these beautiful mountains, gorgeous terrain, and friends and family that love to get out and enjoy it! The type of of people that appreciatethebotdoors and want to get out and enjoy it! I can’t wait to move to Logan next ear and start an adventure of my own!
The beautiful sunrise in SLC Today!
and.. the beautiful snow covered valley!!
As I start growing older and embarking on my own adventures I come across people that share the same passions and attitudes as I do. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve met some really cool people via twitter!
First off being miss Gina Begin. She is a super cool outdoorsy chick who is so very rockclimbing savvy and and excellent baker of sugary goods! She is is super nice to talk to and her blog is awesome and she above all is just so nice!! You can follow her via @ginabegin and at www.ginabegin.com!
Secondly, is miss Jill from GearGals! She is so nice and is such a rad chick! If you ever need any advice on gear or just to talk she is always there! A super groovy Chica that is always so strong! You can follow her at @geargals and www.geargals.net
The last but certainly not least on this list is mr. Stephen Weiss! He is an outdoor enthusiast, blogger and snowboarding/climbing junkie! Super rad and y’all should get to know h!you can follow him at @stephenwweiss and at www.mountainenthusiast.com
Well that’s it for today folks!
.Make It A Great One.
Very, very true about you. You ARE a super cool outdoorsy chick and a truly excellent (and super hot) baker of sugar sweets. I am glad I can call you friend as well!
ReplyDeleteSomeone asked me why I would follow someone on twitter if I don't know them in real life…well, in some cases it's simply because I enjoy listening to their rants, or I'm a fan of a particular musician/band. However, there are people in our lives that we encounter who have a certain spark, and when you get to know them you life is enriched. Such is the case with Gina.
ReplyDeleteThe fact is, I have no clue how/why or when I started following her, and/or she started following me. What I can tell you is that one day last fall she posted something on her blog that was so well written and touched me deeply. After that, I read a few more things and realized that if "the writing" was any indication of "the person", it would be someone I would like to know better. I don't think it makes a difference how I know GB, just that I know her and occasionally have an opportunity to share some moments with her.
The following quote reminds me of Gina and folks like @StephenWWeiss who I've come to know only here…
"An invisible thread connects those who are
destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or
circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle,
but will never break. May you be open to each
thread that comes into your life - The golden
ones and the coarse ones - and may you weave them
into a brilliant and beautiful life."
